SE Asia condoms

Dear All,
I've been getting all the usual medical advise from the
doctors about vaccinations, pills and safe sex prior to my
travels. Just wondering, they say take your own condoms, as
the ones available where I'm travelling (thailand, vietman,
malysia, indonesia) are quite likely to be dodgy. However,
wouldn't it be quite bad for a pack from the UK to be
carried around in a racsac in hot humid weather??? What
does anyone else think? Has any one had any problems with
local purchases? You sometimes get the impression that
these medical people are going a bit over the top with
their advise. Surely you can tell from how the shop seems
as to how dodge it might be?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not going for major sex sessions, I
just want to be safe when the need might arise (no pun
intended!!).

    I have a male friend who has lived in BKK for several years.
    He advised me to bring my own, which I did. He travelled for
    3-4 months and had no trouble traveling with condoms he
    brought with him to thailand. I was there for a month and it
    wasnt a problem. Take up little space and worth it for peace
    of mind.
