Go and have your irony implant checked. edit Whoops sorry, I see somebody has beaten me to this.

Thank you for thanking me. Let me rephrase the question as I didn't realise that you were writing for others 'Do remind us of the last time anyone was inconvenienced' No problem if it takes you some time to consult the others that you were speaking for. A clue -- it was about eight years ago. What a bloody nuisance every eight years. Thank you.

"Once again" Do remind us of the last time you were inconvenienced.

He does. As do you!

No you wouldn't.

And don't forget to take your passport to the shop to register it.

I recall, a few years ago, a farang was arrested for not standing.

Name the bar.

What rubbish! If you haven't used one in years, how do you know what they drive like now? Try thinking before you head for your keyboard.

Well aren't you one to be proud of? ----- NO!

K. Muppet, how long have you lived here? The craziness existed years before the GRAB boys tried to scrape a living.

What an uncaring cretin you are -- or should I say MUPPET'?

How awful for you.

Bang Sue amazingly friendly and efficient. (but such a schlepp from central Bangkok by either taxi or subway) I had my first two jabs there, then the next two at MBK (Mah Boon Krong) --- Incredibly easy to get to and speedy and helpful, now sadly closed. Good to see one at Victory Monument but no info on whether an appointment is necessary. Their homepage is bi lingual, but nothing referring to vaccinations and go further into the site (appointment etc. are in Thai only -- or am I missing something? P.S. I recall sometime ago that the new generation of vaccines would be available in Thailand in the New Year.

Is today really the last day for Bang Sue as a vaccination centre? If so, where in central Bangkok now?

Yes, it's a pity people don't fully read reports before rushing to their keyboards.

Are you speaking from personal experience? Or what was it that affected your mind?

Would I be eligible for a fifth (2nd booster) 4 months after latest shot at Bang Sue? 79 Y.O.

Thanks, yes that was the centre I was thinking of. Oh, it seemed so central. I went to Bang Sue 3 times and must have taken a wrong direction from the subway (even though I followed the clearly signposted signs to the vaccination centre). The first time, we mistakenly went right instead of left outside the building and walked right round to the back entrance and through the building. Second time was taxi from home (Phrom Phong) which took an hour and third time was via the subway but both MRT times involved crossing the carriageway (I can't imagine getting from the subway direct to the building unless they have now made a direct underground connection). It looks as though my next trip will have to be to Bang Sue again. Oh, how I miss the MBK facility. The only problem with that was (and has been for 20+ years, finding my way out of MBK) Thanks again for your reply.

Is there any vaccination centre in Bangkok other than Bang Sue? I had my fourth at MBK (Mah Boon Krong) and the service was excellent and unlike Bang Sue very central. This is now closed (the vaccination centre, not MBK). I read that Bang Sue, due to close this month, has extended for another month. I also read that there is a centre nearby to St. Louis Hospital. Is that still open? What is it's name? My only problem with Bang Sue is that it is far from 'central' - a long trek from the subway platform to the centre via crossing a dual carriageway road. Alternatively, a close on one hour trip by taxi from central Bangkok (mid Sukhumvit) The staff and organisation at Bang Sue were really excellent and friendly -- but SO far for an (approaching) eighty year old. Now seeking my fifth jab, being 5 months since fourth. Sorry this short message has turned into a bit of a tome. Thanks for your attention.

Oh yes, that will guarantee that the place is safe as it is SO difficult to obtain such a license

Have you ever heard of Anutin?
