Good Afternoon Debs,

It is not necessary to bring malaria tablets with you for your trip. All I would advise is that you bring a mosquito repellent with you.

Are malaria tablets recommended for this trip?

Thanks 

Debs

$55 is well less than £50 surely not enough cash for nearly 2 weeks.

That was per day, not for the whole trip.

Sorry I probably should have specified that this would be $55 per day (as shown in the article that I attached).

Kind Regards,

Amy

Yes you can also take Thai currency with you, and order the Thai Baht at the Post Office.

Good Afternoon Debs,

I would advise that you take sterling with you.

Thanks Amy.  Would there be any reason not to take Thai currency?  I've just checked with the Post Office and I can order Baht.

Good Afternoon Debs144,

I would recommend that you bring about $55 USD with you which should cover food, drinks, transport, etc.

Thanks Amy.  That helps (except that the link is from 2012! so is probably not up to date)  - do you advise taking US dollars then, rather than sterling?
