Can foreign tourists get covid vaccinations in Bangkok

[placeholder]

I have 2 American relatives visiting Thailand from China where they live. They want to get boosted, preferably with Moderna but Pfizer will do as well. Are there any locales that will do this? They have no problem with paying for the service.

There should be no problems whatsoever at a private hospitals that have stock and are not fully booked etc.

 

It would of course be best to contact the hospitals directly - i.e. MedPark and Bangkok Hospital have been the most reliable for vaccination of foreigners, but they also have a reputation for being the best places to get the vaccine privately and thus there may be a waiting list etc... 

 

Thus: Give the usual suspects a try as well... Bumrungrad, Samitivej etc..

 

As always, this forum is a good start, someone may have recent experience.

 

Also note: Thailand does not yet have the latest & greatest vaccines which, if I’m not mistaken operate over broader spectrum / cover more variants. 

 

 

Final point: Influenza vaccine - I’m going to get this, this year - I havent had flu for years, and given the recent ‘lock-downs’ I doubt much of our society has had ample chance for evolve alongside the antigenic drive of influenza - Hence, this its well worth considering the influenza vaccine...

In Chiangmai I did contact Bangkok hospital about a month or so ago and they said they are offering vaccinations. Maybe they have a different policy for Bangkok. Anyway, thanks for the information. I will follow up.

I’m sure any private hospital that has the vaccine would give it for payment.  The private hospitals deal with many international patients

The private hospitals don't have vaccines anymore. 

As of last week, Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital, Samitivej, Medpark, St Louis and Sukhumvit Hospital all deny having vaccines. 

Kasemrad Prachacheun offers Pfizer only for those who earlier paid for Moderna and still didn't get it.

Vejthani denies having vaccines,  but you can get free Pfizer once a week if you make it on their list.

The answers as to yes have been posted well already.

 

To the issue of vaccine brand preference if you contact the big private hospitals in BKK you'll be able to select the ones you want. Ring around and book appointments for their shots at the hospital which serves up the vaccine they're wanting before your friends arrive to save waiting longer (or at all?).

Walk in at Med Park hospital located on MRT metro station with passport and get Moderna booster for a fee (I did pay 700 THB last month)

Yes, that was last month. 

Internationalism reported that they don't have Moderna  anymore,  they offered him Pfizer. 

On the phone,  they deny having any vaccine (last week). Whether they have vaccine if you just walk in I don't know.

Red Cross vaccination clinic?

My wife has found some government hospitals that will inoculate tourists with the Pfizer vaccine. However, she was told that the tourists will have to present some kind of pink document that is given to them on arrival. I don't recall ever being given a pink document. But then I don't arrive on a tourist visa any more. Is anyone familiar with such a thing? Is it related to Covid vaccinations?

I think I have heard of it as part of the covid bureaucracy. 

It doesn't exist anymore
