A lot of my friends who live in the Solomons, which has a biggher problem with malaria than Thailand does, take chloraquinine, which is a medicine for after you get malaria. They do not take any prophylactic(preventative) medicine at all and just stay inside at dawn and dusk when the malaria carrying mosquitoes are active. A firend of mine was taking Larium as a malaria prophylactic medicine and he was sitting next to me on a barstool and actually passed out and fell off the barstool so as Allybaba said you should be careful what you take.

If you are just staying around Phuket, Pattaya, or Bangkok you should have no problem anyway with malaria.
