My Digital Passport Experience

[HappyExpat]

 

I received my 2nd jab of Pfizer at Central Festival Plaza in Pattaya today (15 September). This infers that it was Bangkok Hospital Pattaya doing the jabs. The line was an hour long, basically the whole 6th floor. Once I got to the main desk, it went quickly. What I was disappointed about, I never got any information about how to get the digital passport. Thankfully, a friend of mine told me about it, and I share it here with you.

It's a Google Playstore app in Thai - หมอพร้อม

I installed it (Android), ran it, and it was easy to see where it went, even for a guy who knows NO written Thai.

The only caveat - at the end of my application was a popup that was not intuitive, completely in Thai. I tried to swipe/copy so I could ask someone what it said, but it completed the process.

Bottom line, I now have a digital passport that shows both my shots; dates, type (Pfizer), name and passport number.

I hope this helps.

Hi @HappyExpat! Any side effects yet?

I had my 2nd jab (AZ) 9AM Monday (after a 1st Sinovac jab) and midday saw the start of a 48-hr spell of utter zombie-ism that thankfully disappeared at midday today, almost as suddenly as it started. No complaints, though . . . just a couple of 'quiet' days. If we don't get more HE posts for the next day or two, we can maybe assume why . . . be brave!! (:-)

Hi @King Cotton,

This Pfizer jab seems less painful than the first Pfizer jab. Milder soreness in my shoulder after eight hours. Let's see how the night goes - thanks for asking!

Did they use a needle this time?

This was my experience, too. Felt like I got hit with a board afer the first shot. But, a week after the 2nd shot, I did have the warned-about flu-like symptoms. That 1-2 week delay is apparently pretty common.
