Short answer: Hepatitis a, typhoid, polio, diphtheria & tetanus are the vaccinations most commonly recommended for travellers to Thailand. Your exact needs depend on where you are going and what you will be doing, which we confirm at a short consultation.
This destination has some malaria risk, so antimalarial tablets may also be recommended for part or all of your trip.
Thailand just welcomed its millionth UK visitor in a record year - beaches, islands, street food and temples make it a mainstream favourite, not just a backpacker trip. Most travellers need cover against food- and water-borne infection, while island-hoppers and anyone on longer or rural trips should think seriously about rabies and Japanese Encephalitis.
Prices are per dose. Your pharmacist confirms exactly what you need — and what you do not — at your consultation.
Recommended, especially for street-food lovers and travel beyond resorts.
Recommended for mostKeep your UK booster current - scooter accidents are a leading cause of traveller injury.
Recommended for mostRecommended for longer stays and for anyone who may get tattoos, piercings or medical treatment.
For some travellersRecommended for longer trips and island-hopping - stray dogs, cats and monkeys are common, and post-bite treatment can be hard to reach on islands.
For some travellersConsider for rural travel or stays of a month or more, especially in the rainy season.
For some travellersDengue is widespread in Thailand. The vaccine (£99 per dose) has eligibility criteria - including evidence of previous dengue infection - which we confirm at consultation. Bite avoidance matters for everyone.
For some travellersTravelling in a few weeks or a few months? Either way, we can help. Coming in four to six weeks ahead gives the most flexibility for any multi-dose courses.
Flying sooner — even this week? Please still book. We offer rapid and accelerated courses, and most travellers can be vaccinated on the same day as their appointment. Many single-dose vaccines provide protection quickly.
Had some vaccines before? Bring your records and we will check what is still in date. Often a single booster is all that is needed, and that can be given at the same visit.
Risk assessment, vaccines and any medication — all in a single appointment at our South Yorkshire travel clinic.
Book your consultation Or call us on 01909 268 001 — we are happy to talk it through firstMost tourist areas of Thailand - including Bangkok, Phuket and Koh Samui - are malaria-free. Some forested border regions carry risk; if your route includes them, we'll advise on tablets.
Rehydration sachets, painkillers, plasters and any regular medication in its original packaging. Ask us about stand-by treatment for upset stomachs before you go.
High-factor sun cream, plenty of water and shade in the middle of the day prevent most common holiday health problems.
Be a little cautious with unpeeled fruit, salads and ice outside reputable venues, particularly in the first days of your trip.
Make sure your policy covers any activities you have planned, and carry details of it with you rather than leaving them at home.
A straightforward visit, usually 15–20 minutes, with no obligation to have anything you do not need.
Where you are going, what you will be doing and how long for. Bring any vaccination records you have.
Our pharmacist checks your itinerary and health history against current UK travel health guidance, and explains what is worth having.
Most vaccines are given there and then. If a rapid or accelerated course suits you better, we will plan it around your travel date.
Hepatitis A and Typhoid are the core recommendations, with Tetanus up to date. Rabies is worth discussing if you might be around animals or island-hopping.
Not in the main tourist destinations. Risk is limited to some rural border areas - bring your itinerary and we will check current guidance.
Yes - £99 per dose. Eligibility rules apply (age and evidence of previous dengue infection), which your pharmacist confirms before vaccinating.
Not at all, and it is one of the most common questions we are asked. Many travel vaccines work quickly, and we can usually vaccinate on the same day as your appointment. We also offer rapid and accelerated courses where a multi-dose vaccine is needed. Book in and we will do everything we can before you fly.

11.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct.

11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong . It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.

If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
12.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so . This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products.

14.4 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later . If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
