Probably many other places too. On a side note, there is now Dengue fever vaccine available for all. New one Qdenga, which does not require a previously had infection before taking it, which is the requirement for the other vaccine! Bangkok Hospital got it. 2 jabs 3 months between. Approx 4500 baht.
