There should be no need to take malaria medicines unless you're going to be along the Western border;  I don't think anyone takes them here.

It reminds me the first time I planned my trip to Thailand, big pack of Malaria pills,etc etc..

Where are you heading to? There is no need to take Malaria pills while in Thailand as far as I know but consult with a Doctor to make sure..  character5

Most likely heading to buriram and probably gonna check out nong ki, apparently on the border of Cambodia is a red zone meaning its vital to take um, but then thats the doctors that get a cut out of the pricey meds saying that

Malaria is not a problem but dengue fever is. Both caught from mosquitos.
