Do you guys who are in Thailand, or have been in Thailand take stuff for malaria?

[/ QUOTE ]
nope, and its only recommended to take malaria pills if you are going to be close to the cambodian border or the border of laos.

[/ QUOTE ] I live by the Lao border (Vientiane is 15km away) and I've never heard of anyone getting malaria or of this being a serious concern. Dengue fever is a possibility but your chances of catching it are very low and it is rarely fatal.

The area around Vientiane shouldnt be bad, but for instance if you stay close to the cambodian border etc you might be at risk, but its just what I remember from the doctor before I went here... But in the end the guy who asked should ask his doctor IMO...
