No. You could just die instead.
You do need shots, talk to your local health department they should know. I was going to go to Thailand in 1979 I got them in both arms.
The choice is yours, but think of the possible alternative if you don't have the injections.
And I suspect that if you avoid them, your insurance will be invalidated.
You are taking out insurance, I hope.
i'm going for my jabs tomorrow for both those places so i can let ya know tomorrow what my doctors give me if you ask again in the afternoon
I traveled around that area for 2 years and the only thing I bothered with was Malairia, I took Lariam(Mefloquine) for 2 weeks, it gave me bad guts so I stopped, the main thing is be careful what you eat and drink to start with, slowley you stomach will get used to the things there and you can almost live like the locals, 1 seriouse thing though Mossies are different you wont get used to that, cover up 1 hour before and after sunrise and sunset, thats the main problem time, and a net at night. One good thing to eat to prevent them is lots of Garlic and Chillies. Just be careful and you will have a fantastic time, I did, also dont stay on the ''tourist path'' get off it a bit, hard work sometimes but by God its worth it.
Dont take to much notice of western doctors they will advise you to take and have a million things, remember they get paid the more they give out, IE Rabies, it was back then 6 jabs, to prevent it, get bitten and its exactly the same treatment with or without the jabs, I got told by a Thai doctor that in some cases the inoculations can make it worse.

Enjoy it.
