hereforgood Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Any one here that is covered with the Thai SS gotten vaccination ? I am in Pattaya and over 60 but not a bangkok pattaya hospital customer and they require you to be a customer of theirs to get the Jab. Was wondering if there is any other option based on being on SS or if I must go to Bangkok for the shots? advance thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabhand Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Can you not attend BPH for a consultation on a minor issue that will then give you that required patient number? Being over 60 you must have some minor ailment that can be used as an excuse for a one-off appointment. Maybe even the cheapest screening package. Would likely be not far off the cost of a taxi to/from Bangkok and certainly less hassle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now through the government web sites I requested a date and time and got nothing back. I then tried to register again and they confirmed I already had an appointment so I rang direct and they confirmed the time and date next week. I am not on Thai SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they would want people vaccinated as quickly as possible. All this red tape Ridiculous. Hope you get your vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not on Thai SS I also have a BPH patient number and was able to register with no drama for their current vaccine offer. Am due to be jabbed on 19th. This was done direct with their online registration form. Did you apply by using the online form or via another application method? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a peep since. Whereas the BPH registration (with patient number) was a quick registration process including being able to self request the date / time for vaccination with a prompt confirmation sent thereafter.
