Howdy! Cool homepage you have there although you missed an "w"  If you travel to the Phuket area you need pretty much a shot for Hepatit A and something for tourist diarrhoea otherwise you should be fine. If you travel to someother parts of Thailand you may need something for malaria. Nevertheless the best thing you can do is consult your doc as the previous poster recommended. Cheers!

My doc told me there is combination hep A and typhoid injection but if it was him he wouldnt worry about it if i am only staying in a resort area! (patong) and just have something for the stomach to avoid the sh**ts. forgot to ask if it was over the counter stuff i could just take with me. any regular aussie BM's who can elaborate for me is appreciated

You should always get Hep A and typhoid even if you are staying in a resort like Patong. Just because its a resort, does not mean they are not there! Besides, on a drunken night, who knows were (and who) you will end up!

Hi Faye,
If you are not going to Northern Thailand up in the jungle you do not need Malaria medicine.

I am part way through the Hep A/B combined shot course.
1st one I got last Saturday (4 weeks before I leave), 2nd this Saturday then one in 3 weeks after that (day before I go). There is an option of a 4th shot 12 months later which will fully immunise you. Downside is each shot is AU$65 but compare that to how much I would lose if I got sick it's not too bad

So at what point would you take the penicillin?? Routinely after you've been with a BG or when symptoms start which would no doubt be after you have got home and would need a proper diagnosis, penicillin doesn't cure every STD. It also has no effect on travellers sh1ts.
