Thai officials have said they are ready to vaccinate non-residents against covid-19 across the country

The Thai Ministry of Health is planning to set up at least one COVID-19 vaccination center in every province for foreign tourists, said the head of the national epidemic control agency, Opas Karnkwinpong.

"We need to make sure that vaccination centers are widely distributed and accessible as travelers from abroad visit more than just major cities." Services will be provided on a voluntary basis and only FDA-approved vaccines will be provided. In addition, Karnkwinpong noted that foreigners must pay 800 baht (about $24) for the AstraZeneca shot, 1,000 baht (about $30) for a dose of the Pfizer vaccine, and another 380 baht ($12) for medical services.
