On August 1, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) will designate two different websites for foreign citizens to register directly for a vaccination appointment. One of these websites will go live at 8am and will allow citizens to apply directly with hospitals, and the other is expected to go live at 11am and will have citizens register with the MFA and MOPH. [This information is provided by Michael Heath, Charge d’Affaires, U.S. Embassy Bangkok; Office: 66-2-205-4240.

Do you (or anyone) know the link to the two websites? A previous poster provided one, but I don't know how to find the second one.

This Bangkok Post article mentions the Ministry of Public Health's new online registration site (which replaces a previously announced site) as being https://expatvac.consular.go.th/ and is supposed to open at 11am to day. The Post's article: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/ge ... ens-sunday

This site is apparently or all Expats regardless of age or location, but priority will be given to those 60+ or with certain underlying medical conditions.

However, there is no mention of how the process will work once registered or which vaccine(s) will be available.

I give up. Typed in my email for the 11am slot, hit next and got a server error. Tried to do it again, my address has already been taken, by me presumably. Tried my personal address. Same same problem. Oh well.

If you registered anywhere for the vaccine or have already received a dose your email is in the national system and you will first get an error message then if you try again it says the email already exists in the system..If you have registered no where before and haven’t received any vaccine and this happens then a real problem exists.

The last part, registered no where before, is me.

That's the one I was referring to. Server error central.
