Maybe I miss something, but why don't you go to immigration and get a residence certificate? They provide them in English for few 100 Baht (I think last time was 300), and you are all set, can't get more official than that...

A) does you phone support 5G?

B) are you in an area, where 5G is supported?

If either is not true, your SIM-card automatically turns on 3/4G

I don't think wanting access to vaccines on a time line that isn't discriminatory based on nationality is whining at all. In other words, if it's time for over 60s its basic medical ethics for it to be time for all over 60s in a country. I don't think wanting that is shooting anyone in the foot. Instead it's entirely reasonable. I don't think this has anything to do with obviously off topic Brevit. I agree Thailand will never be the same after the pandemic. You could say the same about any country. 

When you are right, you are right, and that should be said.

You don't even need the govt app, a standard QR & barcode reader will do, shows you the link, you click it, press sign-in and all done

We need to team up and DEMAND the right to medicine (which is basically what this is at this time).

 

Imagine if they made some services at a hospital in America only for certain people? 

EXACTLY what they do in America: Pre-Biden White-Rich before Black-Poor, now Everybody before Whites

the issue may just be that he did it yesterday and that the system has since been modified. Not 100% sure but reports on this board seem to indicate this.

I registered yesterday and booked the appointment today.

Same here. The app requests a number on the back starting with 2 letters, which the Thai ID card has. The pink card I have seen has a number starting with only 1 letter, so is not accepted by the app.

Not sure, what you do or what app you are using.. my number on the back starts with "B" followed by all numbers and was accepted by the app... nothing about 2 letters...

My understanding is that there are no online English options and a Thai driver's license definitely will not work.

 

Pattaya private hospitals don't have anything and aren't taking names but if interested keep checking but it might take months  

 

I am also seeking a confirmed sure thing place to manually register with passport. I am high risk and don't want to be running around town risking infection just looking. 

There is a report from another member, that he registered in Pattaya Memorial, using the app. So it seems some private hospitals are further in the process than others. I would recommend therefore, that you call them with your questions. They always have reasonable well English speakers at the front desk.

As a matter of interest is it a manual or automatic transmission?

 

can have both, but no fun with automatic.. that car wants you to work for the fun ????

Thanks. 

 

Followed the same process exactly - and failed yet again......  the two number inputs are really the only ones that can be at fault.  Small hope it's the site - will try again after lunch (God this is frustrating....)

check your birthday, actually the birth year... make sure that you calculate it correctly into your Thai year of birth: 
Current year in Thai - Current Year in Europe + Birth year in Europe, for me this was 2564 - 2021 + 1960

So maybe it is correct then, never the less we are trying government hospitals now, thanks for input!

To add to my previous report: I just finished talking with two of the private hospitals here in Pattaya and they have no idea that a) they are listed in the government app and b) that they might some day be receiving appointments for vaccines.
At this time, the government seems to only allow the government hospitals to take reservations. I understand this from a logistics point of view, easier to transport and store the vaccines in only one place per district.

I am now registered with the Pattaya City Hospital for my first shot in June, not at the beginning of the campaign, will let others be the guinea pigs...

Exactly, my Thai wife tried to sign me up yesterday 1st May online at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya with my pink id card the same as she and her sisters had done, can't do got to wait for Thais to get the jabs first so Swiss1960? is talking rubbish and talking down other farrangs from his high horse, as you say predicable bs for one who has supposedly holds Thai I/D!    From another whiner

Plenty of reports - also official reports on Thaivisa - of foreigners successfully registering and getting a date for the vaccination, clearly no rubbish talk. I am registered, but could not yet get a date on the hospitals available for Pattaya area, the error says "hospital not open for registration", will have to either wait another day or so or drive by one of the hospitals to investigate.

P.S: just seen the above post by @newnative that he got his date in the government hospital, so most definitely the private hospitals are not yet ready/allowed to register.

Re. the number on the reverse (second string) - mine is Upper Case Letter followed by two blocks  -  1st with 7 numbers; 2nd with one number.  Is yours the same  - and if so, did you have any problem inputting it???? (my wife entered the whole sequence as you outlined, but failed....) 

yes, same on my card, entered it first time with the spaces, failed, second time without spaces, success. error messages are not really clear, only "review your input" or something like this, could be any other field, i.e. wrong entry in another field.

Is this only open for people over 60? Or? 

I'm a permanent resident, 57, I am retired but not 60 yet. I chose monthly pension so not contributing to the health care system any longer. I get an error on the first page in the line app, "please fill in correctly..." but I already have, perhaps except the laser code that blue ID cards have. Pink ID cards don't have it, there's another number but it doesn't work if I fill it in.

 

I would assume that retired Thais can register even though they don't contribute any longer, is it age or something else? Any idea?

 

It is open for several groups of people, 60+ just one category, you will choose the category that fits for you in one of the first screens of the app during the registration. As long as you have a pink card and match one of the categories, you can register and later choose the hospital and date of your choice. Whether you fit into a category at this time (i.e. health conditions), you have to find out for yourself.

You have two numbers on your pink card, the first one on front top (ID in 5 groups of digits, enter without the spaces) and the second a string in the white strip on the back in the lower left, mine having 3 blocks, the first block a uppercase character. Again, enter the full string without spaces.

It is open for anybody who have an ID in the Thai person register (which is your ID on the card), no matter whether you ever paid into SS or not (I never did, but many Thai citizens working in the informal sector also never did).

Why not call it the pink card or the Non-Thai id to avoid confusion ?

Calling it the Thai id is obviously not correct !

as I said.. splitting hairs, when every reasonable person knows what it means. Kind of like the mostly very long rants some people can do, when somebody calls the annual extension a "Visa", when this term is even displayed inside immigration offices to point to the "retirement visa" counter... we all know it is not really correct, but we also know damn well what is meant.
