travel med clinic at Bumrungrad
 
I've checked out their website and see no reference to a travel med clinic and was hoping to get my yellow fever shot there and malarone pres. filled-anyone used the hospital for any travel related meds or inoculations?

I use the hospital regularly. I've never seen a specific travel medicine clinic. You probably just have to make a regular outpatient appointment and tell them what you need.

They also just opened a clinic at the new airport. You *might* be able to pop in there and get what you want.

For the yellow fever inoculations you will have to go a government run institution and you can't get it at Bumrungrad or any private hospital.

Two places offer the inoculations around Bangkok - the Port Authority at Klong Toey and the Immigration office near Sathorn road. You will need your passport and a small fee and they will give you the international booklet for proof of the inoculations as well. I have the Klong Toey number 02 249 4110 if you want to call and ask some question.

Malarone is not available in Thailand.

There is, of course, no yellow fever in SEA Asia. Are you planning ahead for a trip to somewhere in Africa or South America that has yellow fever? As Hanuman says, all yellow fever vaccinations worldwide must be done at WHO-approved facilities.

Thanks for the replies-guess I'll probably just have to get the shot/malarone here for the trip we're planning.
