If over 60 no need to prove any underlying conditions.

 

But I wonder if he is really registered for vaccination at 3 private hospitals or just in waiting lists? I have so far heard of only 1 private hospital actually giving foreigners  appointments for vaccination.

 

If (as I suspect) he is just on waiting list at 3 private hospitals no need to prove anything at that stage even if under 60.

There are "online" waiting lists, where somebody has applied via an email link, and there are waiting lists at the hospitals that you attend in person. At the only hospital at which I was able to add my name to the waiting list in person, I was shown the list with my name, number and phone number, on it. I'm really through with discussing this any more. It's all a complete pipe dream to imagine you're going to get vaccinated any time soon in any case. I did what I could, and posted my results. People seem to get angry because they think there are better ways, but they don't bother to test them out. All I say to people is, before you comment on my posts, go to your local hospital and try for yourselves. That's it

Well I know for a fact Bangkok Pattaya Hospital has English speaking operators (because I've had to request an emergency ambulance from there) and I bet Pattaya International does as well. Sao Paolo and Samitijiv in Sri Racha do as well I'm sure. Banglamung, Pattaya City, and Chonburi Hospital maybe or maybe not.

And can you show them your medical records on the phone? I don't get it. I've suggested you try it. I've never been treated at 3 of those hospitals. Sure, on their customer service desks they could well have English speakers, but then you're dealing with customer services on the phone. Thanks, but no thanks. And you bet? Well you should back your hunches. Try it!

Maybe you shouldn't be running around in public then...especially to hospitals where sick people congregate. There's this new invention called the telephone ☎️

Try it. Try ringing around 4 of your local hospitals. Banglamung, Thai only spoken. Then show me your results.

This is so true, it hits at the point in regards to the US and UK's cost of vaccines. Also true are the amount of taxes you pay in both countries, but in reality, there is just no additional costs to you. However I believe you paid for that vaccine if you received one there. The private hospitals here in Thailand charge for the use and administering of said vaccines or any other medications for that matter. Remember you also pay for medications separately at the hospitals, public or private here in Thailand, just as you do in US and UK. The private hospitals are just a higher cost to you.

 

Just for example, I obtain a monthly prescription from my doctor for Tramadol and pay ฿120 ($4) for 60 tablets. In the US I paid about $40 for the same amount.  The Tramadol comes from India, which is where the Thai government purchase many drugs, probably the same for US and UK. I had an educational conversation in English of course, with my doctor concerning the cost of drugs. My doctor worked in the US for a number of years and had some very interesting insight regarding the cost of health care.

 

I guess what I am trying to say is the cost is much cheaper hear and I am so tired of hearing about this issue, it is not really an issue is it!  But this is my opinion of course!  ????

It's off topic, but I got the very latest drugs I needed for a viral infection from an online Indian pharmacy. Cost $300, for a 3 month course. Within a week I had an undetectable viral load. Here, they're unobtainable. In the UK, a 3 month course costs the NHS £24,000. But of course, YMMV.

I've submitted my trusty amulet for FDA approval. Hope it qualifies!

Having lived in Thailand as long as you have, I am surprised that you are suggesting putting all your eggs in one basket. Right now, I am registered with the "Mor Prom" app as well as at three private hospitals. If one has the alien ID number and the app, I say go ahead and register.

So you have an appointment from MorProm? And registered with 3 private hospitals? You have underlying conditions I guess, and have found 3 hospitals that have access to your medical records that show you have been treated there for those underlying conditions? And of course you are over 60!

This is from the homepage of the Bangkok Hospital Pattaya today - 19:14:

 

"Important notice from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya: Despite some "News" items, BHP has not ordered or reserved private or alternative COVID vaccines. We will notify you officially when we are fully prepared."

 

This sounds to me as if it might have been a reaction to this thread here and / or its sources.

 

In one word: Nothing has changed and we are left in despair. No idea when they will realise that there are thousands waiting (my assumption) for Moderna to be available and would refuse AstraZeneca or Sinovac. Or if they do and do not care.

I tried at the Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. I'm a high risk. You have to understand. This hospital had absolutely no clue what I was on about. No have. Cannot. They were in NO WAY prepared. No waiting list, no registration process. Wake up people!

I'll wait and see, if my appointment is cancelled I'll opt for the Moderna at the private hospital I use for health check

 

Don't people realise? They don't have anything at the private hospitals. They don't even have enough to vaccinate themselves. You should try registering at one. Everybody should. People seem to think it's just a question of turning up and choosing the vax they want and hey presto! Just try it!

Thailand is known for medical tourism. That implies non-Thai people. So, put 2 and 2 together....if you are not Thai, the Thai hospitals who make a fortune administering to non-Thai people will see this as just another product or service to sell. Having said that, I am happy with my medical experiences here in Thailand and will gladly visit my favorite international hospital again for my covid vaccine needs. 

You have no idea!

So a couple months...what's the hurry...you in a high risk group?

Yes. I was doing what the government advised me to do if I couldn't register on MorProm, ie got to a hospital. But really I don't think it's ANY hospital, just one where you have been treated for whatever qualifying underlying problems you might have. I visited 4. I'm happy to say I did get registered at one private hospital but drew blanks at the other 3, including Banglamung and 2 other private hospitals, for a variety of reasons.

Or a government hospital. 

Yeah, good luck with that. Banglamung told me maybe August after all 66m Thais are done. And the place was heaving.

So how come two wrongs don't make a right? Just kidding. But I'm still in the dark. Is the US "anti no jab movement" pro or anti jab? Is there an anti pro no jab movement too?

Just now, TimBKK said:

The email I posted is from the main hospital in BKK.

Fair enough. I forgot the hospitals are like banks, 7/11s, immigration offices and amphurs. They're all run on a local basis.

So which one did you get on the list on?

Ah, the $64,000 question! It was at Pattaya Memorial. It's still a huge lottery I think. But I think if everybody badgers their local hospitals they might eventually get the message. Gotta try, right?

A Line account and a Thai ID.

Sorry,  it appears they're now only collecting email addresses for future notification.

 

Yes, somebody else pointed that out. They obviously took down the original link. I visited 4 hospitals here in Pattaya this morning. Got on the list in just one. Had to insist at the door. They always assume you've come for a jab right away. A lot of calm talking required. Banglamung, Bangkok and International unable to help. But YMMV.

Received the following from Bangkok Hospital:

 

”Dear Sir or Madam,

Warm greetings from Bangkok Hospital!

We are pleased to inform you that we are in the process of acquiring the Covid-19 vaccine. At the moment, please download our Bangkok Hospital Line Official (@Bangkokhospital), once the vaccination is available, we will announce the news on the Time Line.

I visited Bangkok Hospital in Pattaya this morning. No waiting list, no vaccine, no registration procedure. I was treated there a month or two ago. They know my medical history and obviously my age. They simply weren't prepared in any way.

Maybe we didn't understand each other, I demand a reliable source. For starters I can't read the Thai writing, but apart from this, I don't see today's date on that document but only a 2019 today we are in 2021
Try again you will be luckier

Just do your own research then and find somebody else to change your nappies.

Look at the original in Thai using the link below. It's a pdf file. The translation was posted on the Pattaya news Facebook page, as it is an English language news service. The below link was also posted the end of the translation.

When has this order been issued? During last night? So I have to believe that they never sleep .The source please!

Paragraph 5.4 of the order says roughly (via Google translate)
