    Hi heading to thailand and need to get shots organised, was gonna just go to my local doctor but was wondering if people know if they vary from doc to doc, is it worth shopping around do you know?

    Thanks in advance for any replies

    Scroll down to the info about Dr. Ekky. He seems to be the cheapest.

    It might be E600 for Malarone tablets but not for Doxycycline. I got a 10 week supply for about E80 I think.

    Note that Malarone is not available in SE Asia.

    And most importantly, read this:

    Thanks for that breadmonkey!

    discosue, how much did ye get your flights for and what are the dates? :) Ya jam-bag!!! :D I could probably afford mine when I get paid (on Tuesday), but I'm not goin for ages, so I'll just leave it until I've done some more research.

    I opened a credit union account last Tuesday, so that'll be my vehicle for saving -- cos if it's in the ATM then I'll have it spent :o

    Hi:)

    Getting a point to point fare easterly direction... not a round the world ticket now (we were originally gettin a rtw but alas.........another time maybe)

    Going Dub-Frankfurt-Singapore 29th November, staying 2 nights then travelling from Singapore ourselves to Thailand (doing that to keep cost down rather than having bangkok to singapore included in the fare) get a flight most likely with airasia.com from bangkok to singapore 18th Jan, guy in trailfinders said this will only cost bout €15-€20......... Singapore - Perth - Sydney then back home east again stopping in aisa on way home again........ can't wait, seeing as we're doing it so soon as well, only booked, off in 4 and 1/2 wks :D ooooh I'm so excited, so glad I haven't been saving for bout a yr and that we'll be off dead soon now, hand in my notice now this Tuesday haha :)

    Costing €1202 inc tax............ I opened my credit union account in July to start saving for it

    What are your plans?
