I will be travelling to an area which is prone to malaria.

Has anyone heard of a anti malaria pill called malarone I  understand it has low side effects. Is it available in thailand.

Which area are you travelling to, and for how long?

As far as I know Malarone is not available in Thailand, at least it wasnt 2 years ago. Its true that Malarone has the least side effects. I bought Malorone for my first trip to Thailand and have never had to use them. I still have the pills just in case but after 3 years I have never had to use them. I live in a Malaria zone,

My advice would be to buy the pills but not to take them as a preventative. If you get sick and diagnosed Malaria you can take 4 x 1 tablet a day for 3 days and it should cure you.
