You could get one, if you are working in a tourist related business. Farangs too. The tour company had to register you first. All that until 59yrs. Over that you have to wait for AstraZeneca. Maybe in June The age limit could be the problem. I am 70. I have a work permit and I pay personal and company taxes as well as SS. I was not allowed the vaccine. I work in the tourist (high risk) industry. I do not work with a tour company. Link to post Share on other sites
Birdman 574 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) The 4 places were, they aren`t now, it`s over, Samui Hospital, Bangkok Hospital, Central Festival and the Tourist University. Edited April 13 by Birdman Link to post Share on other sites

Best for you would be to get more infos from the Samui TAT and THA people. There is a limited amount of vaccinations now and in the next future. I do not know, If small resort/real estate owners/staff are qualified to get one of it first. Staff of major tourist companies, major hotels, major agencies, major tour agents, airport, ferries and and will probably and understandably be the ones. Anyway, you have to wait until the AstraZeneca arrives. Edited April 13 by Birdman 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That`s wrong. I am close to the people who gave the vaccination at Central Festival. And even much more. I am in the middle of that. There were lists provided by the owners and managers given to the authorities. And they gave them the exact time and day for their staff. Link to post Share on other sites

Tropicalevo 6661 Posted Saturday at 04:45 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:45 AM Just a quick note on Covid testing. Two Thais staying with me needed to get tested for Covid as there were guests at the hotel where they work that had Covid. They could not get tested at Samui Hospital in Nathon as it was fully booked and they were not deemed to be high risk by the hotel. Private testing is available at :- Bandon Hospital 3,200 baht results within 48 hours Bangkok Samui hospital 5,500 baht results within 24 hours 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tropicalevo 6661 Posted Saturday at 05:01 AM Share Posted Saturday at 05:01 AM (edited) A Facebook post from Bangrak Minimart :- Two customers in the shop were found to be Covid positive. If you were in the shop on the 15th April, please get Covid tests and self quarantine. I use that shop a lot but I have been in self quarantine since the 13th. Lucky or what?

If you were at Secret Garden in Bangrak on 13/4 between 14.00 and 15.00 please get tested soonest. Advise the people at SG if you are found to be Covid positive please.

phetphet 1720 Posted Saturday at 09:22 AM Author Share Posted Saturday at 09:22 AM it looks like it is breaking out now. A lot of these holidaymakers here for Songkran will be spreading this far and wide. Coco Tams was packed when I passed the other evening. Both restaurant and beach. I expect numbers to climb significantly here in Samui over the next two weeks. I hope that I am wrong. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tropicalevo 6661 Posted Sunday at 03:56 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:56 AM No mention of quarantine today at the ferry pier on entering Samui. Still only temperature check and QR code. Still the same for Bangkok Airways as well but this could all change tomorrow of course. https://www.bangkokair.com/eng/health_screening_for_traveling_to_samui Link to post Share on other sites

Birdman 574 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Don`t think so. But don`t care at all. Wonder about people speaking about empty Samui, people are leaving and so. Have been at Macro today, really many other customers. Streets are full with vehicles. Really many people around. Maybe expats all around Thailand have realized what a really nice place Samui is?
