Malaria is common is SE Asia.

We were actually advised to start anti maliarial tablets a week before the cruise but further reading of the areas we are going to suggest this may not be necessary. We will be taking roll on mosquito repellannt and wearing long sleeves etc. I have a brother-in-law who suffers from malaria. It is not something you want to risk.

We are on a cruise from Hong Kong to Shanghai (14 days), April 11 through 25 going through Tawian, South Korea, Japan. Anyone knows if we need to bring a repellent or something against bugs / mosquitoes, etc? Thank you for any information.

If you need it..rather than the "spray" get the individual wrapped toweletts that "Off" makes..Easy to pack and keep a few with you wherever you go..You can buy them at many places..I got a small box of them at Walmart ;)

 

I spent 2 weeks this past October on a land trip (Beijing, Xi'an & Shanghai) and didn't need my toweletts at all but I was at least prepared

It's always good to bring this just in case.

 

Bring a spray but also the toilettes. They also make a clip on with a fan.

Singapore toHK January 2011. Didn't see a single mossie. One Australian gentleman took anti malaria pills which made him sick for the entire 2weeks. If you must, take some deep woods off. You probably won't need it.

If you are going to take a spray repellant with you ,dont put it in your carry on .

It will be confiscated by security.:mad:
