The date of the booster shot MUST be dependent on the second dose you have received previously. This must be evident to the Bangkok Hospital since this is a medical necessity. To pass on the responsibility for their storage to the customer is therefore neither sensible nor acceptable. When you paid you are entitled to get the shots at the time required and not when their logistics does allow that. Rather they have to change their procedures I would suggest. It is their responsibility to provide the service - especially when you could not even indicate the date of the vaccination at the time of the order. Concerning payment: When I ordered a so-called "full course" for my wife and a booster shot for me back in August I was redirected to "SCB BDMS PATTAYA E-COMMERCE (via 2C2P, a wellknown payment processor) where I could pay with a Visa Credit Card . The transaction was completed successfully and correctly and I received a confirmation (of the payment - not with a vaccination date of course) via email from the payment processor. I do not have a Line application and will never have one. I would love to see a reversed trend that everybody does not necessarily presumes that all citizens use Line, Facebook or Twitter. A contingent was not mentioned at the time when we ordered the Moderna and neither this passage that you posted above (Q&A).

Be prepared that some Database will get you. You might have been registered.

That is an argument. But it says in your quote of boomer6969 ".....COULD be taxed". Confusing. Cannot be an issue of the amount because only official deductibles should count (?). But maybe this is Thailand and its different.

I think that might indeed be the most worrisome part. The issue has been discussed in thousands of posts some time ago and the main problems have not changed since then. It is not a question of wealth but rather of insurance eligibility regardless of how rich you are. You could have a billion THB in Thai banks or own a couple of houses and not be able to renew your Elite Visa because you simply have diabetes and no one will insure you which you would not need anyway because you are able to pay any health cost on your own. To allow at least a security deposit for health purposes instead of an insurance would solve this issue (if needed at all). Old non-O visa holders might be grandfathered for their extensions but as a multimillionaire newcomer you would not be able to retire here if you have some precondition. But these are the people that they would like to attract (I mean the wealthy) - or did I misunderstand something ?

Exactly the same situation I am facing, AZ-AZ, BHP, End of October 2nd shot. On the appointment slip AZ is already noted. But of course I would like a Pfizer shot - especially because I have suffered quite some strong side effects after the first AZ shot. Maybe the 2nd AZ will floor me then. Anybody tried to change the second vaccine since the policy seem to have been changed anyway ? I guess it is not possible to change just on the day they will want to administer the shot. Too complicated for them.

I went to Fascino and they charged me THB 1'090 for ONE PEN of Lantus (making a pack of 5 pens THB 5'450.-- and for Novorapid one pack (5 pens) THB 3'350.-- and for the test strips ACCU-Check (Blue) THB 990.-- for 50 strips. As I need lots of all this (I am heavily insulin resistent) I urgently need a cheaper solution in Pattaya. Now I have researched TV and the net, and it seems that there are much more cheaper alternatives like "humalog", vailable in BKK at a fraction of the above mentionned price. But how about Pattaya ? 1. Is there any recommended endocrinologist here ? (Pls. not Bangkok Pattaya Hospital - this is extremely expensive and they charge items that you did never request) 2. And any recommendation of long and short working insulin that might substitute the expensive import Lantus and Novorapid and is much more cheaper but works nearly as well ? I know I have to see a diabetes specialist first but I am sure a lot of members are diabetic like me and have maybe some experience and see that the insulin cost does not eat up a large fraction of the retirement budget. Thanks for any hint.
