Bali - rabies jab or not?

No. Apparently it's my decision ... it's one they tell you to consider having. They said that for Cambodia too so I didn't have it and didn't see any dogs or have any problems. But it's just the internet reports that have made me a bit nervous...I'm now wondering whether to just stay in Malaysia for a few extra days instead. There seems loads to do there and it's just as much of a tropical paradise from the look of it!

I was in Malaysia recently and was taking Malarone.

Just my opinion but it seems you have a fear of something you can see coming and biting you - More than something you'll likely not see coming and biting you?

Well I live in KL and certainly dont take malayria tablets. Nor had a rabies jag going to Bali. You have more chance getting knocked down on a zebra crossing in KL than getting malayria.

If only Kuala Lumpur was the whole of Malaysia.

I was actually talking about Borneo.
