yes, and my mother's doctor, an epidemologist in charge of vaccinating travellers to outside of Europe, advised her to take malaria pills when she heard she is going to Bangkok.
some physicians just have no clue and cannot even be bothered to check facts.

So right, Betti. I met an old lady (74) who had been advised by medical professionals to take anti-Malarials for Chiang Mai. You have not heard the best bit yet. She was prescribed "Larium" -which is totally ineffective in Thailand and surrounding countries!!
