God bless her!!!

Long live the Queen!!!!

The only Pattaya hospital on Intervac is BPH and I am not sure if they even know they are on the "list".  Anyway they don't seem to have any vaccine.

It appears that other local hospitals are at best not very farang friendly, except perhaps if you have a pink ID card.

That leaves the so called (or was) walk-in site at the indoor stadium.  Can farangs use this?  Has anyone any experience?  In particular how long to wait for the first jab and how long between jabs.

I know it is not the most luxurious option, but maybe has its good points - like availability.

People: PLEASE limit comments here to be about practical information about vaccine access for Pattaya area expats. 

This is not a general vaccine or Covid-19 discussion topic.

Not all topics need to be about everything.

By posting away from the topic, the value of the information here for interested local Pattaya area expats seeking vaccines is degraded. 

There are other topics for other Covid-19 or vaccine info, or members can open their own new topics if not. 

You started a valuable thread that has been repeatedly hijacked and peppered with childish bickering.  

Please people get back on topic!!!!! If you don't know what it is go back to the heading!!!!!

Even places that have done quite well with the virus, Singapore, Taiwan etc., have suffered spikes and clusters related to cheap foreign labour housed like animals in overcrowded conditions. A simple lesson that Thailand failed to learn.

The Government needs to get its collective head around the most important reason for vaccination.

Yes, I get the vaccine to protect me. I.e. to stop me getting the virus. On that basis perhaps the Government is right to give priority to its own people.

The main reason, however, is to prevent the spread of the virus in the community. I.e. to stop me getting the virus and passing it on to a thousand Thais. On that basis any prioritizing on the basis of race, religion or ethnic origins is wrong and just plain stupid.  Yes, even kingons should get it.

Perhaps the Government will eventually get it, but don't hold your breath. That is why this thread is important so we can monitor the situation!!!

At this point I am going to post an obvious question.

 

Has any f-rang,  any f-rang at all walked into Pattaya City Hospital on Soi Bukhao with their passport and no Thai ID number and been able to manually sign up for a vaccine reservation there?

 

 

Good question!!!

Perhaps we can return this thread to your OP, which I think a lot of posters have not read.

Please folks - back on topic.  This is important.

Slightly off topic, but I did my 90 day report at Jomtien last week.  They put a stamp on my receipt to remind me my extension was due in May. (Actually they called it a visa).

A nice touch I thought.

The numbers arriving in the country are of concern (288 today)

Authorities at point of deperture are obviously just letting them board. or does this include land border entries bound for quarantine anyway

The OP is far from clear.  It talks about "people entering quarantine" not people entering the country. The form of reporting has changed over the past couple of days and needs some clarification.

Try HSBC Invest Direct International.

Hoe can these tourists get to Soi 6.  Won't do anything for Pattaya's economy.

do you need a boarding card ??

No, but but you will need a virus test within 72 hours of going there

Now located inside Central Department Store on second floor

Did my wife's yesterday.  Instant confirmation and she did an extension since last report.

Couldn't get mine done, because I have a new passport. Had to go to Immigration Office (Jomtien), but only took a couple of minutes.  Lady didn't want any of the printouts I did.  She just looked at the TM 47 and gave me everything back. She confirmed I can do my next report online.

With events cancelled in Bangkok a huge chunk of the Bangkok population will descend on Pattaya like a plague of locusts. Good for the local economy, if not the traffic, but....

Lets hope they leave the virus at home.

What's the demand note? 

I had demand notes for some of my condos, but not others. The ones I did not have demand notes for I took a copy of the chanote; not because it was required, but to correctly identify the property.
Staff were helpful, efficient and polite.  Reasonable English was spoken. I expected problems and was pleasantly surprised.

 They do not care who takes it as long as they get the money. If you have the demand note that is all you need.

In Jomtien last week with UK Passport.  

I needed embassy letter, filled in a form and copies of old and new passport picture pages along with copies of last visa and subsequent extension pages.

Submitted late morning and collected after 2pm next day.  No charge.

patience!..Rome wasn't built in a day

No it wasn't.  However, it  took a lot longer to demolish it.  In fact it still hasn't been completely demolished after 2,000 years.  That is about the same time it will take to get Waterfront down.

I am "trapped" in Thailand and although a little frustrating it is no big deal. I do feel very sorry for those that are trapped outside Thailand, especially those whose extensions have, or will soon, expire.

It would really be a small thing for the Thai Government to do to offer an amnesty so that when retirees can return, they can have, say three months, to re-instate their extensions.  If they could announce it now it would put a lot of minds at ease.

It would not get retirees back any sooner, but it would remove one problem.
