We've been recommended to take doxycycline several times in the past, so have friends we're heading off to bali with soon [2.6 weeks!!] It seems to help with a bit of everything - malaria [though as you say it's not really a risk], tummy bugs, skin infections etc. Your doctor will advise you if it's suitable for you. Need to sit up for 1/2 hour after taking tabs, and be careful in the sun. Haven't taken 'real' malaria tabs for years. We too keep typhoid/hep a up to date, cos we go to remote places in bali and also nepal.
