Originally my decision was not to bother with malaria prophylaxis, simply because the drugs involved are not always known to have a nice effect on the consumer’s general well being, the side effects can be quite intense and unpleasant and when you are away travelling the last thing you wan to be is sick. I also found out that only some areas of Thailand which is where I will be spending the most part of my travels, are of high risk. I do have a tendency to wander off the beaten path, but no border crossing or deep jungle trekking! However as my trip draws nearer, I am beginning to think I have made a mistake and perhaps I  should have gone and just taken the drugs to minimise my chances of catching the disease.
