I was planning to go to Chiang Mai for a few days. Just the old city. I read taking 200 mg Doxycycline is effective for Scrub Typhus but not sure at what point I would take it though.

Doxycycline is not used as a prevention against scrub typhus. It is a treatment,  once you have tested positive.

Works for STI  and malaria prevention also cost 70 bht a pack.  Just take it with food. On an empty stomach some can cause nausea.
