Any advice re: vaccines?
Booked flights in/out of Bangkok 9th Dec-3rd January. Meeting a friend for the last week and was originally planning to cycle around (probably ride down south to Phuket) for the first two weeks, but the price of vaccines has put me off.
If I take my bike, I reckon all the free ones, plus rabies, Japanese encephalitis and probably malaria = £300-500
If I don't I'd probably just do rabies as I'm planning to cycle tour round Europe for months on end next spring/summer = £90-160
Any thoughts? I love cycle touring in Europe and think I'd like it over there, but haven't been to a developing Asian country so maybe not... Flip side is I'm a bit too old and boring to fully indulge in the pissed-up backpacker itinerary if I don't take my bike!
