samtam Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Dtac has a Covid vaccination programme, but only customers with Thai ID. Apparently they started it in May, but I only heard about it today, through Richard Barrow's twitter; as he mentioned, the catch is you have to be Thai. I rang Dtac, hoping the policy might have changed, given the well publicised deficiency of registration with booking facilities available to foreigners. However, no luck..."it's the policy of the Thai government". https://dtacblog.co/en/dtac-customers-can-now-register-to-receive-covid-19-vaccination-at-the-central-vaccination-center-in-bang-sue-central-station/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorry Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 AIS has a program, too. For Thais only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share Posted June 28, 2021 No surprise, I suppose. It's #ThaisFirst. What bemuses me is when I talk to Thai friends/acquaintances, they all feign surprise/or are surprised that foreigners are having such difficulty getting vaccinated. So many have sent me the details of thailandintervac.bomb... But there is of course no reason why they should be aware of that fiasco, as it's a universal problem in the country for anyone who isn't well-connected, either socially or through their employer.
