Thought they had moved from Uni place now?

CORRECT in one, they have moved it to a location as I have been TOLD, behind the UDON GENERAL HOSPITAL, exact location i have not a clue, but as parking anywhere near there is a problem, it might take a week-end saunter to ascertain exact location and how to get to the Vaccination Place, unless anyone near to that vicinity can enlighten us before the week-end.

Looks like we are in for more vaccines.
White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha issued a dire warning Thursday that the U.S. will be increasingly vulnerable to the coronavirus this fall and winter if Congress doesn't swiftly approve new funding for more vaccines and treatments.

Jacinda Ardern tests +ve, who would have thought with her tenacity and the way she tried to protect the Kiwis over the passed 2 years.

Recent update on Thailand Pass

[Stantheman]

Effective 1 June things are getting easier for Thai's returning to Thailand, Thailand Pass will no longer be required. Hopefully in near future same will apply to visitors.

WHO have agreed that Thailand should be declared a BIOHUB.

Masks may become optional from mid-June.

Looking forward to once again seeing what's below all those beguiling, smiling eyes at the bank, talat, restaurant, etc..

Who did you fly with? Flight experience? Passenger load? Transit experience?

Did you get your Thai covid shot records into your NHS records?

I passed the test in time to have a night out in BKK and back in KK now. An anxious few hours waiting as I'd had Covid recently. Was given a piece of paper confirming negative at reception to show at check in for domestic flight along with an antigen test kit to do on day 5.

Flew Etihad (as always). Business Class so, experience was great. I can recommend the Sauvignon Blanc .

The MAN/AUH leg was full with long queues at check in and added stress for most as they weren't fast tracked through security. Didnt look through the curtains on the AUH/BKK leg but, judging by the number of people at the gate beforehand, I would suggest it was no more than 50%.

Re transit, security at AUH was deserted which was unusual. Spent the 2 hour stop in the lounge so, all good personally!

I checked the online NHS record prior to the flight but, it hadn't been updated. I took both documents but only showed the UK one as Thai authorities only require 2 jabs.

Just checked again and it's now showing the Thai one so the system works....slowly. Its been quicker to update with the bout of Covid I had just prior to departure but, my initial infection in July has disappeared - good job as my records would soon be like War and Peace.

Going back to UK next week so, ran off my UK Covid passport which I had updated to include 3rd vaccine in Thailand.

Didnt really check what they'd input previously but, it appears they have "translated" the year wrongly. The Thai 2564 appears as 2021 on the NHS Covid passport so, I apparently had my 3rd vaccine before the first 2. I dont expect an issue but, will be sure to take my paperwork from the Thai vaccine (if I can find it).

Anyone doing similar, beware!!

Changes coming to how cases are reported. Seems the 'end' is near

^ Since 2564 was 2021 (and we are now in 2565), wasn't the error made by the Thai staff registering your 3rd (booster) shot? What's your jab chronology anyway? Didn't you get that booster here earlier this year?

As you say, probably not an issue going anywhere else and since there's a likelihood that Thailand Pass may be history for everyone before your return, any TP tripwires will hopefully be avoided.

Have a safe trip and don't forget to price the Jubilee Year fish and chips in Leeds (cod and haddock).

My error in posting and NHS error in loading.

My Thai vaccine cert clearly says 2565 and I typed incorrectly in the post above. 2 UK ones were done March & May 2021 and, Thai one Feb 2565. NHS passport shows all in 2021 so, showing Thai vaccine as the first one. According to my NHS passport, I've not had a vaccine for over 12 months since when I've had Covid twice!

The Ministry of Public Health recommended that vaccinated residents should get a booster every 4 months.
The Director-General of the Disease Control Department, Opas Kankawinpong, today recommended that Thai people should get at least 3 Covid-19 vaccinations and then keep topping up.
