I don't have a 13-digit number and when I try to pull up my information on Thairuamjai.com, I get the message that I must register first but can't find how to do that. Could someone tell me how to register. Thanks in advance. I got my second AZ shot on Tuesday, October 5th.

Where to get a second jab of AZ? Apparently Bang Sue is no longer giving them. I have an appointment to get my second jab there on October 5th.

Where will the shots be available? I'm an over 75 who received my first AstraZeneca at Bang Sue on July 5th. I'm told that Bang Sue is not giving second shots any more and the hospitals and websites that I've checked are only giving first shots. Where will these second and booster shots be available? I hope that we are informed where to go or sign up later in the month. Why can't the local press publicize where the vaccines will be available. Why is everything here so <deleted>?

According to a doctor from UCSF Medical School,. it's not just people who are outwardly obese. People who do not look fat can have a high amount of visceral fat. The villain is Metabolic Syndrome which produces all of the dangerous conditions: hypertension, diabetes, pre-diabetes, fatty liver, etc.

Where can I get my second AZ jab in Bangkok? Bumrungrad and Bang Sue not offering any more and Thailandintervac is only giving out first jabs.

Second jab not available. I was told by a St. Louis Hospital staffer today that second jabs are no longer available at Bang Sue. I am scheduled for a second jab there on Oct 5th. They have discontinued doing them due to a shortage of vaccine. Bumrungrad won't do the AZ second jabs. Once more it's a scramble for vaccines. I will check on Intervac.com to see what's available. So they're going to open Bangkok to tourism in October? With the mad scramble for second shots, it doesn't seem likelyvunless they just ignore to 70% vaccinated condition for reopening.

The transliteration is not exactly correct. The "r" in the transliteration is only to get your tongue into the approximately correct position. There is no intervocalic sound uttered..

Sorry about the wrong forum. I found the URL for Bangkok appointments but apparently that service is down now.

Could someone kindly post the URL for making an appointment at Chaeng Wattana for a one-year extension of stay for retirement?

COVID-19 is now an endemic disease meaning that there is no such thing as permanent immunity from it. Yesterday on Youtube, There was a video featuring a healthy young doctor with no risk factors who contracted COVID, received two doses of Moderna and then got COVID again. Recovering from the disease AND getting double vaccinated doesn't prevent you from getting COVID again, especially if it is a newer variant. People who have recovered and/or have been doubly vaccinated can contract the disease again because antibody levels decrease over time. Thailand has no choice but to doubly vaccinate everyone with an effective vaccine even if they have previously recovered from COVID. Only then may it become an acceptable tourist destination again. I think that all tourism will be down in the future. The BIG question is what variants or new pandemics will appear in the future. We may be wearing masks for the rest of our lives.

Sending the report by mail (EMS) has always worked for me. It's never down. You can find detailed instructions on the blog under the topic.

Herd immunity is a fiction. It is not possible. Vaccinating the entire population of Thailand would protect them from severe illness and hospitalization if their vaccinations were up-to-date. By the time that the authorities get everyone vaccinated, those who were vaccinated early on will be needing boosters. COVID is destined to be an endemic disease with everyone needing periodic vaccinations. The supply of vaccine throughout the world needs to be greatly increased.

Various articles in the Post discuss planned vaccinations of school kids and others in future months but these appear to be single injections. Apparently the authorities think that a single shot provides sufficient protection. Sure. What could possibly go wrong?

In today's Post, The chairman of the Thai Chamber of Commerce implied that the country would be able to open up and recover financially by the end Q2 next year when 70% of the population will have had one injection. By that time, people will need to have had three injections to be fully protected.

That's 15 days before and 7 (seven) days after. If you can't go to report in person during that 22-day time period, you will need to teport online or by mail. Miss it by one day late or early and it will cost you 2,000 baht. IMO, mailing is the safest method.

At MTT, do not join the long line of people standing and waiting to do extensions. In the main room, there are chairs marked for 90-day extension teporters. Go there.

We are actually living with many viruses that are incurable and for which vaccines and treatments only mitigate the severity of the disease. Herpes Simplex and Herpes Zoster, once contracted, stay with you for life. For interesting discussions, see This Week in Virology on Youtube. You may be surprised to find what a huge problem viruses are.

Thanks lopburi3. I found the place with no problems and, to my surprise, my process of filing the report and paying the fine was expedited. There were other people waiting to file their reports but I was put at the head of the line. I was in and out in 15 minutes. Best of all, my new reporting date is 90 days from today. I'm going to post reminders of that date around the apartment. Maybe I was epedited because of age?

Thanks Dr. Jack. Now i need to figure out how to direct a taxi from Ploenchit to MTT. Google map isn't much help.

I missed the date that my 90 day report was due and I'm 13 days late. Is it still necessary to do the report in person during this semi-lockdown? I looked at the MTT website and it doesn't mention 90 reports but does say that an appointment is necessary. Is MTT still the location and are the in-person reports being required now? There doesn't seem to be any increase in the fine regardless of the lateness of the report, so maybe I'll just wait for a while. I realize that the fine doubles if you are arrested. Current information will be appreciated.
