Siem Reap , Malaria

I will be visiting this area in late January or early February. Should
I be concerned with Malaria? Also what about Ko Chang in Thailand?
Thank you for your advise.

Don't worry about malaria unless you will be trekking in the country or
jungles for an extended period of time. We went to Siem Reap for 5
days and did a lot of exploring, and didn't encounter any bugs.

Did you travel anywhere else in Cambodia? We would like to , so if you
have any highlights to share and do's and do nots , we would appreciate
the help.

I went to Cambodia in 2001. It was one of my greatest trips ever 4 days in
Siem Reap. I did take Larium but I didn't get bitten by a single bug while I
was there.

But I beg people going to see Angkor Temples to also go to Phnom Penh and spend
a little more $$$ in Cambodia. The Royal Palace with the Silver Pagoda was
cool.

Of course you MUST go to Toul Sleng, a site of horrible evil, but necessary to
see. Then drive out to the Genocidal Memorial Park.

Supposed to be a malaria-free island in a malaria zone. We didn;t take
an malaria meds for a 3 day trip early this year but did use a lot of
insect repellent and wore long sleeve/legged clothes. Either do that or
take medication.

I spent 3 month in Koh Chang during nov-feb. Slept in a hut without a
mosquito net and several times in a hammock on the porch.
Don`t recall being bitten, used no deterrent at all.
There are some sand flies though particularly on the southern beaches.
Never saw any mossies in SR as well, which I visited in december.
Stayed in an unscreened room at a GH.

Cheers

Do you know whether they have already started/finished the road construction
to fill the last unbuilt gap at the southern edge to accomplish the paved
road to encircle the entire island?
