Need to get a typhoid vaccine and don't know where to go or what to do. Please help?
Do I need to go to a hospital for this, or can I just go to a doctor or a pharmacy? If… Looking at my vaccine records, it appears my typhoid vaccine is no longer effective and I need to get a new one.
Do I need to go to a hospital for this, or can I just go to a doctor or a pharmacy? If I can just go to a doctor or a pharmacy, do you have any recommendations? I'd like to avoid going to a hospital. I don't know what hospitals are like in BKK, but in the US, "going to a hospital" means going to an emergency room, spending a full day sitting in the waiting room, and then having to pay thousands of dollars in medical bills. I actually do have a good global health insurance policy, but would rather not use it because there's a deductible and also I don't want to have to bother with filing a claim.
Has anybody here gotten a typhoid vaccine in Bangkok? Where did you go and what did you do? Was it expensive? Did you have to spend all day at a hospital?
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.
for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.
honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
