Are you going to Thailand within 6 months if the November 1 rules still apply ?

Without wanting to jinx it, it looks like I am traveling (frantic crossing of fingers and toes, touching wood and sacrificing chickens).

I got the AXA insurance.

The hospital from which I got my booster had never seen a yellow international vaccine card before but willingly completed it for all my shots and I submitted scans of both it and the regular card to the Thailand Pass system. My Thailand Pass arrived within a few days of my application.

My hotel turned out to be SHA+ and very efficient once I contacted them. The quarantine deal basically costs the same as using the hotel car to meet you at the airport, so I am making a stylish return in a Benz.

I have an appointment with my tailor who is hilariously enthusiastic. A customer!!! He sent pics of every swatch of shirt fabric in existence.

The final brick-in-the-wall is Bangkok Guy’s vaccination. He is not one of the 70% of vaccinated Bangkok residents for a very Bangkok Guy type of reason.  He has been doing comparison Shopping for vaccines and announced via Line “I get vaccine Moderna”.

I decided to investigate the reality of this decision and found both Bumrungard and Sukumvit hospitals have Moderna. Bumrungard’s website offers a Moderna gift certificate. I called both hospitals – both answered efficiently – and found the reality was more in the marketing than in fulfilling Bangkok Guys decision. First round is taken. Can get second round, first quarter 2022.

I told Bangkok Guy this and suggested that he would probably need to be vaccinated before we could take a planned flight – maybe Astrazenica would do until he can get Moderna? A very fast response “I’m going to vaccinate Astrazenica”. Hopefully he does and once I am out of the overnight quarantine we will go to Bumrungard and get him a Moderna gift certificate.
