Whether or not to take Malaria tablets must take into consideration whether or not there is Malaria in the area.
I now live here and have been coming to Bali for 15 years and have never heard of anyone getting Malaria here.
The are other illnesses here but as far as I am aware Malaria is not one of them.
Other Indonesian islands are said to have had outbreaks in the past and may possibly have one now, I don't know, but if you are only going to Bali don't see the point of taking tablets that are going to make you feel ill.
Does anybody have any actual personal knowledge of a case of Malaria in Bali in the past 10 years? If so let us know so we can check it out.
