Bangkok vaccination center

Bangkok vaccination center

Bangkok vaccination center located at Bang Sue railway station on the northern side of the city. Three brave Aussie geriatrics hired a taxi & headed north from Pattaya to face what the press was calling total chaos.

Bang Sue Grand Station, which began construction in 2013, is equipped with 24 tracks and is capable of accommodating up to 40 trains at the same time. Sitting very close to the Sirat Expressway, Bang Sue Grand Station covers an enormous 1,280 acres, positioning it to become the largest railway station in all of Southeast Asia.

Surprise surprise

Where is the so called chaos? We were surprised & happy to find a well organised facility with friendly staff on standby to assist everybody. The patients were 98% Thai with the majority quite elderly & wheelcair bound.

This was not a surprise as foreigners,or Farangs as they are known had to be aged over 75 to qualify for the free vaccination. AstraZeneca was their weapon of choice.

The whole process was simple

The most time was taken by the blood pressure testing, for some unknown reason we all tested high time & time again. Daryl was the biggest problem with a reading just under 200, initally I was 170 but after a couple of extra checks & waiting 20 minutes in between I came in around 130.

I’m next in line

I can’t help repeating how friendly & helpful all the staff were, they helped make the whole process stress free. 🙂

Bangkok vaccination center, my turn for the needle 🙂

I hardly felt a thing, who’s a brave boy then? 🙂 🙂 🙂

The happy geriatrics

After the injection you have to wait for 30 minutes to ensure there is no adverse reaction to the vaccine. Glad to say we were all fine & feeling no effects whatsoever. On the left is Ron Sievers who was accompanied by his Thai girlfriend, she was a great help in making sure we had a trouble free experience.

Meet Sirisak

A very good driver with a nice large SUV, took us there, waited 2.5 hours & back to Pattaya for B2000 + tolls.

Health authorities on Wednesday said 87 more Covid-19 fatalities and 9,317 new transmissions around Thailand occurred on Tuesday, bringing the accumulated toll to 2,934 deaths and the number of cases since the start of the pandemic to 363,029.

My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets. I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington. Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand. What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :) I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit. Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ???? Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia. Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
