We didn't take anti malarials when we went to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam or Cambodia.

Check your Government's own health warnings for up to date info

don't really need to take it unless you're staying in the countryside. Just use insect repellant with 25% DEET. I don't think there is any government requirement.
