Hi all,

I'm well travelled and I'm bringing my two kids aged 12 and 8 to Phuket over Easter. We used to live in Bangkok. The 8 year old was born there but we moved back home 3 months after she was born and the 12 year old lived there for 2 years starting when he was 2.

Given we are going to Phuket and will primarily be beach/town/hotel based is there any need to for them get vaccinations? The people who offer vaccinations recommend 2 shots for short trips to Thailand http://www.travelhealth.ie/VaccinationsThailand but then they would wouldn't they

I'm not looking ot save cash. I just don't want the kids to have to take on vaccinations unless they really are needed.

Ben
