NancyL Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Actually flu season here is during rainy season, so you're a little late. But, I was at Bangkok Hospital recently and saw they were still running their 750 baht special. I think you can get it at most hospitals for about that price, but I don't know if they still have the flu vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
