Reader submission: To the Netherlands for a vaccination and back to Thailand in an ASQ
May I introduce myself, my name is Remco, I left the Netherlands in 2004 with the idea of never returning. In 2009 I bought my own place in Thailand and work worldwide for an International Drilling Contractors Company based in Houston.
The first 60.000 doses of a Chinese corona vaccine purchased by the Pattaya Municipality will arrive this month.

Thailand reader question: Why go to the Netherlands if we can get a Pfizer vaccination in Thailand
I read and hear that a number of compatriots have flown from Thailand to the Netherlands to get a Pfizer shot there. But what is the point of this if we can also get a Pfizer shot in Thailand soon?
The number of new infections in Thailand continues to rise, but less quickly. It seems that the peak has been reached. The effect of new lockdown measures on the number of infections can only be seen after about 14 days.
Reader question: Invitation via [email protected]?
I registered for vaccination on Sunday 1 August and received a message that my registration was successful. Are there any Thailand bloggers who have also registered for this and have already received an invitation?
Ask general practitioner Maarten: Suffering from headache on the skull above the left ear after Covid vaccination

Expats in Thailand receive BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine

I read your article about a question that was asked about whether or not to vaccinate. Also the article you mentioned gave me a good insight into this problem. Unfortunately, this article did not mention whether you can use the Sinovac vaccine as a 1st injection and then the 2nd injection with AstraZeneca.
Question to general practitioner Maarten: Is the combination of Sinovac and AstraZenica safe?
What do you think about the combination of Sinovac and AstraZenica? Is it safe and advisable to do? It seems that it is the only option to get vaccinated here in Thailand.
I'm trying to apply for a CoE but can't get past 'Proof of Vaccination'. Can skip this when applying, but passport will be uploaded, but clicking the arrow, necessary to really get it on the COE, does not work. Do you therefore think that proof of vaccination is necessary?
I registered as an over-60 person for the COVID-19 vaccination at Bang Sue station in Bangkok. I received an email today stating that I am expected the day after tomorrow, Saturday. Does anyone know if you have to pay for this? I don't think so, because it comes from the government.
I think very good news for the Belgians and maybe the Dutch government can cooperate with the Belgians/French?
Be Well: many expats leave Thailand (temporarily?)
Because many foreigners are leaving Thailand in the direction of their home country, the Dutch general practitioner Be Well in Hua Hin has already lost two thirds of its membership (temporarily?). Their departure is partly due to the questionable way in which the Thai government is handling the Covid pandemic. Moreover, many of them have not seen the home front for a year and a half.
Reader Submission: Vaccinated at Bang Sue Grand Station
This week I registered myself via the QR code that the NL embassy had posted on its facebook page. Received a text late last night (Saturday) confirming appointment at 16pm today (Sunday). So my wife and I went to the scene today, got there at 00:14 PM, along with I estimate over 45 others.
