Travel vaccinations

I'm holidaying in Thailand in July/August- Phuket 2weeks and ?Khao Lak for a couple of nights. Could anyone tell me if Rabies and Japanese Encephalitis vaccinations are necessary there.
Thanks in advance

Fuck me you come form Croydon.
They need the inoculation not you: )

Not sure but might be worth getting a stock of penicillin in for when you get back

Check with your local GP surgery. This website has a lot of information as well

I got Rabies vaccinations last year, they had to be done privately and were really expensive (£180 I think), so I wouldn't advice them unless you're told they're really essential

Yes thanks- been to Gp and they said just keep away from dogs /animals re rabies. Just wondered what the risk is .

Rabies is a stinker of a vaccine. Don't think it's a massive problem there but check with the surgery. Hep A is worth having
