If you can drive Udon Thani is offering Pfeizer

 

Khon kaen  Bangkok Hospital also.

 

I got mine yesterday.

 

Despite the 4 hour drive its worth it.

Stayed two nights at the Avani and made it a mini holiday.  

 

I don't agree with the mix and match strategy also.

 

My wife won't touch Sinovac.

Thanks  Mr J2U Much appreciated 

got to go to Udon next week 

Is there somewhere i can walk in, or do i have to book ahead 

What would i need to take, Passport?

And is it free , or if not, what cost ?

will they allow me to have the injection even if from another province ?

Thanks again

Yes it is true. Vaccines administered in Thailand are not approved in the UK so a returning UK resident would have to hotel quarantine and of course a Thai national would not be admitted.

but this only applies if you fly direct to UK ?

if you do a 10 day stopover in an acceptable country, then there is no need to quarantine ?

And some  other countries accept the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines , some with double dose, some with single dose ?

Where could you stop for a ten day holiday ?

Every Country either requires you to be fully vaccinated or to also do a ten day quarantine in their Country as well 

Dubai ?

Canary islands only require one dose to allow entry ?

It isn't a question of getting "a U.K approved vaccine", but of being vaccinated under an "approved programme":

 

"You must have been fully vaccinated under one of the following programmes:

 

- UK vaccination programme, approved by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)

 

- UK vaccine programme overseas, approved by the MHRA

 

- an approved vaccination programme in Europe or the USA – not all are recognised in England"

 

If you are traveling from an amber country but were inoculated in Thailand, you currently aren't considered "fully vaccinated", even if you received a double dose of Pfizer or of Europe-produced AZ, and you are required to isolate at home for ten days.

 

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-quarantine-when-you-arrive-in-england

what if you stopover for 10 day holiday on the way to the UK ?

And not have any vaccinations ?

no quarantine ?

I do think that that is incorrect . 

Certain vaccines are accepted and other ones are not , it doesnt matter the location of where you had the vaccination done , but even so, its a moot point because vaccinations are not required for Brits when entering the U.K 

vaccinations not required, but if not vaccinated, then 14 days quarantine, at around 100,000 baht ?

Thailand has one of the highest proportions of police to citizens - but they seem to be more interested 'side hustles'.  All it takes is to place working speed cameras on the roads.  They would pay for themselves in two days the way most Thai's drive! 

does anyone pay these speeding tickets ? Think i have paid one about 6 years ago, never paid one since

Get Pfeizer while you're here.  

 

Hopefully get a booster when you're in the UK.

 

Where are you located?

 

Some posters might be able to point you in the right direction.

 

 

 

I'm in Nakhon Phanom , Isaan

But don't want mixed vacs 

Have been offered Sinovac a few times, but would rather wait for Pfizer or Moderna 

Thanks

I believe Thailand is on the red list so you would have to quarantine in a hotel which is expensive 

yup, about 100,000 baht

which is why i want to stop over somewhere like Canaries, Spain, etc, for 10 days holiday first. This bypasses the need for uk quarantine

Yes no vaccination administered in Thailand is acceptable to the UK government.

Just checked site that says 2 doses of the same vaccine, Pfizer, Moderna, Astra Zeneca or Janssen are acceptable, but not mixed vaccines

But trying to find out if the vaccines in Thailand have been approved by the European Medicines Agency

Can travel to the Canary Islands with only one dose of vaccine, most other countries want 2 doses, plus testing 

Hi there, hope this is in the right place

I'm looking to go back to the UK for a couple of months, but want to avoid the expensive quarantine in the UK

I believe i have to have 10 days between leaving Thailand, and entering the UK

Is there any country that would allow some one to enter from Thailand without having had both vaccines

I want to get the jabs while I'm in the UK rather than  getting Sinovac or mixed while here in Thailand , which is not accepted in the UK, 

Somewhere warm and cheap would be good

Any ideas ?

Thanks

I have just finished my second sandbox. Total spent Baht 39,000 for two pleasant entries to Thailand. It cost me Baht 52,000 for one ASQ in Bangkok in December. As an aside the UK wants me to spend Baht 100,000 approx for 10 days in a box in London for quarantine. Which is the biggest rip off / scam?

but you could save a lot if you take a 10 day break somewhere like Spain or France on your way back to UK,  no quarantine then 

no option for this on the way back to Thailand 

Thanks Guys

He live in a small village near me, so have convinced him that if he goes to Pattaya, he will have to quarantine when he arrives back

not sure what the locals would do to him if he sneaked back in and they found out, especially if he did get infected 

They say they are opening up in a couple of weeks, so not sure what that actually means for anyone living here who wants to travel, but told him to wait and see first

He needs to renew his visa there, but ifs still problems, should be able to post it, i  think 

Thanks again

Many we do the longterm, yellow fever, rubella, HEP A & B, smallpox, polio, zovorax, there is a great list of medical studies on all vaccines dating back to last century.

yes. mony of which are live vaccine too, but what long term study for the covid vaccines, either the "inactive" or the MRA ?

Yes...no problems...but avoid the flooding LOL

so Pattaya is not a red zone anymore and has no restrictions ?

3 hours ago, RJRS1301 said:

Is it confirmed as directly related? or causal following administration of the vaccine?

Age and any co-morbidities of the deceased?

How many Pfizer vaccines administered?

What was the cause of the actual death?

There are many questions to be answered, even those rare cases of pericarditis recovery, but is damage long term? we do not know.

Your post only poses more questions. 

but doesn't this also apply to all the vaccines ?

We just don't know what any long term problems are ?

We know they save lives in the short term, but after ?

quick question for a friend of mine

Can he travel to, and from Pattaya  back to Isaan without quarantine ?

If he has 2 vaccines, of any type, does he have to quarantine  on return home

Thanks

Apparently it does improve your antibody count and resistance. 

Natural immunity does also wane.... a jab might be a better idea than catching it again... Also unsure how a different strain might affect you.

does this apply to Sinovac too, and for how long ?

seem to havelots of problems with using my Kasikorn debit card at Kasikorn ATMs

rejects my card saying insufficient data

yet use other banks ATMs no problems, so now avoid Kasikorn where possible

Let's turn that around: Every restaurant owner and manager who allow unvaccinated people to work in a restaurant should be reported and their license should be removed.

and any restaurant that if found to be infected with covid should also have its licence removed and fined, for allowing their staff to transmit this deadly virus

Happened in my wife's village. Guy came home sick without telling anyone. Closed the entire village, tested everyone, and several got covid from him.

 

She said it also happened in her uncle's village. Again, a returned worker.

 

As we know, the numbers they report are vastly undercounted.

happened this week in the next village. Shopkeeper and daughter get sick, so what did they do, they close the shop and then close the road through the village

No testing of potential victims, 

only the local retired doctor was checked and had to isolate for 2 days, and close his shop, while the adjoining food shop was left open with customers

If not for the lockdowns, the death toll would be much higher.

 

Your post illustrates a common fallacy here: if lockdowns work to reduce deaths, then some people claim lockdowns aren’t needed, since so few people died.

 

You could also argue that vaccines aren’t needed in Chile, because there are only 800 new infections today.

Thanks, you could also argue vaccines are not required in Samoa, Tonga, niether of which has anything to do with Thaialnd, just like Chile 

Nice word, If, says so much yet means so little. Deaths may be higher, or maybe not, how would you know ?
