peterrabbit Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) I was told that as I am over 60 and have hypertension I can get vaccinated at the Bang Sue Station in Bangkok (NB I am a Pattaya long term resident). (A friend of a friend, from Pattaya aged 60+, apparently went there yesterday just walked in and got Astra Zenica.) Apparently, all I have to do is turn up in the morning with the relevant paperwork, passport proof of residence ,address etc. Has anyone actually done this in the last few days, if so can you message me or reply to this? If it can be done, will the vaccination centre be open on the public holidays this week? (NB Forget about what the local press say because they are clueless.)

Jingthing Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I wouldn't risk the trip as you would technically be excluded. Watch this site for new registration chances in the near future either in Bangkok or maybe even Sri Racha!

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 It seems that changes almost daily. I recommend follow Richard Barrow on Twitter or just look at his Twitter page (for free, no registration is necessary). https://twitter.com/richardbarrow He has all the up to date information about vaccinations and more. I doubt you can get any better Information than from him. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billaaa777 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I was thinking of just showing up and using a Bangkok hotels address. I mean what is the worst that can happen, they turn me down and I waste the cost of the taxi. And the best that can happen is that I get vaccinated and that saves my life. I would really like to hear if anybody else has just walked and what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have the SMS they said cannot go. I assume they are waiting until last minute to ensure vaccine supplies will be there. My appointment is for tomorrow but still waiting text message.

billaaa777 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I have registered, but I have not gotten anything back. This little shot is so important, and I just don't know how to get one. I was thinking of going back to the US to get it but it would take 8 weeks of staying in hotels before I could return to my condo, and the cost I don't even know. Plus, I really, but really don't like the idea of riding on a plane for something like 17 hours with people that very well could be already infected with Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that people were entering the area from an underground car park but puzzled how to find it. I now have an appointment for 17:00 today and will get my wife to drop me at the old station where it appears there a few parking spaces. Hopefully it will be less chaotic at that time of day. Hope this message reaches you in time and helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles F Stuart Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I went to Bang Sue on Friday and received AstraZenica-1 vaccine as I am 75+ or born in 1946. My information is +60's have to register. However, if you have full documentation for your hypertension why not give it a go. For me it was easy, quick, efficient and very professionally done. You'll get to stage 3 before passport etc. Is required a Thai to assist with language would be a great help, I would give you a 50/50 chance and it only takes 30 mins to get to document stage with BP & medical history prior. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also registered with MedPark and immediately received confirmation for free Astra Zenica on 14th August. They will supply documentation and a date for the 2nd jab . I am 70 and just hope that they don't send a notice of cancellation or something or get there and turned away . Others have said MedPark very organised ! No idea if the site is still open for registration but am sure Pattaya will be getting vaccines shortly ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searunner Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 If you are going to Bang Sue best to go by MRT as they are well organised with shuttle busses directly to the vaccination centre. Exit 2 at Bang Sue MRT station, cross the road towards the railway line, to the right of the rusty old footbridge there is a footpath across the railway tracks. Cross the main road and there are shuttle busses there running all the time just left of the crossing. can't miss them. Would not advise trying to walk in if you are not over 75 as I was turned away on Friday. My appointment came through on Saturday and got the jab yesterday - it was a total zoo outside for the walkins but walked straight inside with an appointment and was fairly well organised from there on. The British Club have some vaccines available for over 60 or with one of the 7 conditions. I don't think they will be too worried if you are coming from Pattaya. PM me for info or contact them directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited 3 days before 'registering' a 2nd time and 2 days after that before attempting the 3rd. I'm not really in a panic, by any means. The 3rd was at the urging of a friend. The 2nd attempt was to 'confirm' in my mind that I'd filled in the 'form' correctly. I'll chill now or wait until the hospitals have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
