Why Are Travel Vaccines Important for Thailand and Bali?

Southeast Asia is a beautiful and diverse region but carries specific health risks not common in the UK. These include diseases spread by mosquitoes, contaminated food and water, and close contact with animals.

Vaccination helps protect you from serious illnesses, some of which can be difficult — or impossible — to treat once caught.

Our team at Bromley Travel Clinic will create a personalised vaccination plan based on your destinations, activities, and length of stay.

Essential Travel Vaccines for Thailand and Bali

1. Hepatitis A

• Spread through contaminated food and water

• Widespread across Thailand and Indonesia

• A single dose offers good protection; a booster extends it for up to 25 years

2. Typhoid

• Common in areas with poor sanitation

• Protection recommended for all travellers, especially if staying with locals or eating street food

3. Tetanus, Diphtheria & Polio (Td/IPV)

• Routine UK vaccine but a booster is recommended if your last dose was over 10 years ago

• Important for outdoor travellers and those engaging in activities such as trekking or diving

4. Hepatitis B

• Spread through blood and bodily fluids

• Advised for longer trips, medical procedures abroad, or adventurous activities

5. Rabies

• Thailand and Bali have a high risk of Rabies, especially from dogs, monkeys, and bats

• Pre-exposure vaccination is recommended if you will be spending time in rural areas, trekking, cycling, volunteering, or working with animals

6. Japanese Encephalitis

• A mosquito-borne virus found in rural areas, particularly near rice paddies and during the rainy season (May to October in Thailand; November to April in Bali)

• Two doses are required for full protection

• Recommended for rural stays, long trips, or outdoor activities

7. Cholera (Oral Vaccine)

• Rare but can be considered for travellers to areas with poor sanitation or those working in disaster relief or aid missions

Malaria and Dengue Fever Prevention

Malaria risk is generally low in main tourist areas such as Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Bali, and Ubud. However, if you are travelling to rural, forested, or border areas (especially in Northern Thailand), anti-malarial advice may be given.

Dengue Fever, another mosquito-borne illness, is more widespread.
There is no vaccine available for general travellers, so:

• Use insect repellent containing DEET

• Wear long sleeves and trousers, especially around dawn and dusk

• Stay in air-conditioned or well-screened accommodation

We will discuss malaria prevention and mosquito avoidance strategies during your consultation.

When Should You Get Vaccinated?

Aim to start your vaccinations at least 4–6 weeks before travelling.
Some vaccines, such as Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis, require multiple doses spaced over several weeks.

For last-minute travellers, we offer accelerated schedules where possible.
