Your trip type determines which vaccines matter most; beach resort risks differ from rural Northern Thailand
All beachgoers should get DTP, hepatitis A, and typhoid vaccines; consider rabies in tourist areas due to food, water, and animal risks.
City travellers should get hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines, use daytime mosquito repellent against dengue, and consider hepatitis B and rabies.
Long-stay travellers should consider hepatitis A, typhoid, DTP, rabies, Japanese encephalitis, and hepatitis B vaccinations.
Some Thailand vaccines are given in multiple doses weeks apart, book early to ensure you are fully protected before you fly.
Hepatitis A
1 (+ booster at 6–12 months)
At least 2 weeks
Typhoid
1 injection or 3 oral capsules over 5 days
At least 2 weeks
DTP

At least 2 weeks
Hepatitis B
3 doses

JE risk is low in cities and beach resorts but rises significantly for rural or forested travel, especially during monsoon season from May to October.
Rabies risk is present throughout Thailand, including tourist areas with stray dogs and temple monkeys. It is worth discussing pre-exposure vaccination, particularly for families travelling with children.
Single-dose vaccines are given at your first visit. Multi-dose courses such as rabies or hepatitis B are scheduled around your departure date.
