Kayahammer Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Just got bitten by a stray cat. I'll be down at my condo in Cha am for the third shot of rabies, so does anyone know of anywhere in Cha am I can get that rabies shot (preferably inexpensive)? Or failing that, Hua Hin? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother got bit by a dog on Cha-am beach and I took him to Cha-Am government hospital for the rabies shots, a taxi/tuk tuk will take you there for around 100 baht as it's a bit out of the way. The price was cheap. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkt83100 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Don't forget, it it's not one shot, in total it will be five in longer getting intervals. You need them all. And refresh tetanus, if your last vaccine is longer than 10 years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimHuaHin Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 As posted above, your nearest government public hospital should be able to help. I had my 10-yearly tetanus booster at Hua Hin Hospital a few years ago, fast efficient and not expensive. I did not need any rabies shots, but I know the hospital had the vaccine at the time, as well as some snake anti-venmons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayahammer Posted October 10, 2023 Author Share Posted October 10, 2023 Thank you for all the helpful replies. I'll opt for the government hospital I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many doctors moonlight or have private clinics in the evening. Some doctors even work full time at their clinics. So there are "high street" clinics in all towns. They will provide rabies shots and don't have the overheads that hospitals have. The rub is that you have to wander, ride, drive around and find out where they are, Or type "clinic" into google maps. That usually comes up with "clinic near me" Cost for rabies shot is around 500B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiowl Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 If you have had rabies shots in the past and get bitten again, you only need 2 rabies shots. From CDC: "If exposed to rabies, previously vaccinated persons should receive two IM doses (1.0 mL each) of vaccine, one immediately and one three days later. " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Theory Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 It seems that Cha Am getting unsafe regarding stray dogs. Used to be safe since volunteers worked hard to keep it rabies free, especially the beach area and the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lister Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I had the three shot tetanus series vaccinations last year, a total of 212 baht for everything at the local government hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
