JemJem Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Hey. It has been quite a bit longer than 6 months since I had my last booster. So, I am thinking of going for another booster. Does any of you know at which private hospitals a foreign national can get that done? Preferably in central Bangkok and preferably the Pfizer/Biontec one. If they don't have that here, for example the Moderna one would be fine too. And, price info would be appreciated too. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snugs08 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) I think any of them will take you 1500-1800 baht off you and smile, possibly add a doctors fee on top, especially if you want the questionable first generation one.. However if you are from the UK - total guess based on Cheers - and still have a NHS number, why not try to arrange a call with clinic that last hosted your GP, and see if its really necessary..

tomazbodner Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 THG hospital group keeps on bombarding me with the offers of their vaccines. So they surely have it. There was a big poster at Phyathai 1 hospital as well for Pfizer. I guess you can call them to ask directly as I haven't been there in a few months so maybe things changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I am not from the UK. If the price is as you guess, it is quite more expensive than I guessed. Thanks anyway. I will decide by next week.

MBK 6th floor Zone D 9am to 3pm daily until May 12th then the weekends of 20-21 May, 27-28 May You will need your passport and previous vaccine certificates. I had my booster earlier this week at MBK. It was busy but quick. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerEastWest Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I wonder if the new vaccine is available in Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDee Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I just asked that question of Bangkok Hospital Pattaya. They said they do not have the vaccine now. When they again have a supply, they will make a public announcement. Edited May 5, 2023 by PaulDee correct typo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might just try my luck though, taking those documents with me, and talking to them in Thai. It might just work ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been the case with me. But, I will be here in Thailand for 5 more weeks, and sadly, Covid cases seem to be on the increase here nowadays so I wanted to have it done here by next week the latest. Well, if my attempt that I wrote above doesn't work, I will just say 'Never mind', and will have it done when I go back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly COVID cases are rising and when you are in a high risk group staying up to date with your vaccines is important especially when most people don't have allergies or reactions to the vaccine. I think the vaccine is free here in Thailand at government hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickp Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I tried Bangkok Hospital 2 weeks ago they had just run out of Pfizer. Check on the 4th May and they sign my wife and me up Moderna new version we get ours 18 May. They told me free because it's the Thai Government supply, but I still think they will have their normal service fees which 500 THB per person.
