Pfizer. Leaving Hua Hin at 7am, driving time to MedPark was 2:40. Return trip was about 30 minutes longer.

Re: Hua Hin Hospital vaccination queue moved yesterday evening! What vaccine though?

I'm in agreement with 404, waiting and hoping that private hospitals more locally will be offering better choices later this year (more likely early next) for those that don't want a 14 hour round trip to Bangkok (or a night there) and then the quarantine on return. Two days ago I registered with M...

Re: Hua Hin Hospital vaccination queue moved yesterday evening! What vaccine though?

We do, and I choose to wait, maybe months! I am always looking for private alternatives when fresh supplies are on order. Wife and I hardly go outdoors anyway. She was dead against SV, I'm dubious, but anyway won't vaccinate without her, maybe silly but there you go. If you register with Med Park h...

I registered at same site, as did 2 other family members. No word yet on a vaccination date. Earlier news reports about this site indicated notifica...

Re: Wheelchair hire.

I think you can hire from all main hospitals.....or buy from about B 5000 from main Pharmacies ( might be able to claim this back from your insurance) I’m going to need a wheelchair for about 2 months. Does anyone have one I can borrow, rent or buy ? Or, can anyone point me to a business where I ca...

Re: Traveling in Thailand during the time of Covid

Last month we tried to book a hotel less than an hour away from where we live in the neighboring province, Chumphon. They said if we're coming from Prachuap province we could stay but couldn't leave the room. We did not have to stay in the room, only in the resort, and we could walk along the beach...

Re: Coronavirus Precautions/News/Updates for Hua Hin/Prachuap

It's the 2nd day of a 4 day weekend. Was there a surge into Hua Hin yesterday and today? The beach was noticeably crowded with people yesterday late afternoon, early evening, many more people than normal for this time of year. Especially the northern part near the Hilton and southern part from Inte...

Re: Electricity and Water Charges

Those Covid discounts didn't last long - electric bill is 50% higher this month compared to last. :cuss: Same for me Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Not for me.

Re: Changing Non Im O-A to Retirement Visa

You wan an "O" visa as no health insurance requirements. Health Insurance must be for 400,000 thb which is prohibitly expensive for that benefit. I don't understand the health insurance requirement at all since you already show 800,000 thb in bank (I do). I got stuck with this on last O-A...

Re: Indian restaurants in Hua Hin

Take 5 is in Khao Takiab, West side of the road, near the Amari I think. It’s been closed since the Covid shutdown, I don’t believe it’s reopened since the shutdown was lifted. I’d like to know where Surf & Sand is so I can go check it out.
