An update from Hua Hin Hospital as of 13.15hr 15/7/21. They have no vaccines available and do not have a date when the next batch will be delivered for vaccinations to resume.
So its just wait and see and keep contacting them, plus you can check the FB page for updates.
Heard the same thing from them just a few days earlier.

So they've agreed to use AZ for the second dose. So the next question is obvious. Where and when are these doses going to materialise?
Months from now for the general public. AZ are supplying what they have contracted to supply so a new agreement has to be put in place. HHH also advised today that most vaccines are going to BKK and other red zone regions as a priority.

Quite amazing that one major hospital in Korat have halted all vaccinations, citing Government confusion as the reason. And like Hua Hin, they have used all their stock of AZ.

Nope. They're not. They contracted for 10 million doses for July and it may actually only be 6 million.
Dr. Nakorn Premsri, director of the National Vaccine Institute, said its vaccine committee agreed in principle to issue an order temporarily limiting exports, but did not give any details. The order would be issued by designating it a matter of national security.
Siam BioScience, was supposed to supply the country with 10 million doses of AstraZeneva vaccine a month, but acknowledged earlier this month that it can provide only 5 million to 6 million doses.
The head of the Thai Red Cross Emerging Infectious Diseases Health Science Center, Dr. Thiravat Hemachudha, said last week that a study he helped conduct found that Sinovac was less effective at fighting the delta variant, and that a booster dose of AstraZeneca would increase its efficacy.
Other Thais who have received only one dose of Sinovac will be able to get AstraZeneca for their second dose, Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said.

2 shots of what though. There's not been enough time passed to give 2 shots of AZ so I assume it would be Sinovac (nothing to be jealous of).
Research has shown that a 12-week interval between AstraZeneca vaccine doses offers optimal protection
Getting a second dose earlier offers less protection, but could be a way to get more people vaccinated sooner

I’ve tried to see the status of my planned vaccination for tomorrow - I get as far as the page that confirms I’m registered, where it then says to check the HHHospital website, but when I try, I enter my 13 digit ID number and it keeps returning to the same page for me to enter it again, and then does the same again!!
Any other suggestions?
Just a suggestion
Why not register with Cha Am hospital?
We did and got an appointment swiftly
I finally got around to taking your advice joelle and went to Cha Am hospital this morning, registered and was given a vaccination date of the 2nd August. At least I now have a second option in case the HHH option continues to get delayed - the person who did our registration was unable to advise what vaccine we would get.

Pleased for you
If you're over 60 you will automatically get AstraZeneca
Have a pleasant day
