    I took malarone while in the north of Thailand and in Myanmar—not sure if this stuff helps. I was told me they used the same thing to treat malaria when you contract it so it doesn't matter that much if you've been taking it or only start right when you get sick—you get malaria anyway. The difference is that if you've been taking the meds prior to getting it, you might have a milder case.

    It's funny how these maps look: Most of Thailand is safe, but bordering countries are all red zones. How do mosquitoes know not to cross the borders?
