I was led to believe by the doctors that the jabs dont take effect for around a month so your jabs wont be working until way into your hols.

Get them done though as they last 10 years with the booster in 6 months.

As far as Malaria pills I have never taken them either in Thailand or anywhere else (India, Malaysia etc) they give you some really freaky side effects and you will have problems sleeping.Also some only work in specific areas as said above.
Always best to use plenty of Deet and keep applying.Beer and Garlic seem to keep them away as well as Vitamin B.

Enjoy your trip.

Ill be in Chiang Mai for NY and then down to Phuket for 2 weeks in January.
Cant wait!!!
