Compare Bangkok travel and vaccine clinics: per-dose and package prices, rabies post-exposure care, yellow fever certificates and opening hours. Check services, staff, fees and availability with each provider before you book.
Bangkok has a university travel clinic, a Thai Red Cross rabies clinic and several hospital vaccine and travel centres.
A per-dose price list makes it easier to compare, but check which fees are added on top.
Weekend and evening hours vary; after a bite out of hours, go to a hospital emergency department.
If you need a yellow fever certificate, use a clinic that is an authorised yellow fever vaccination centre.
Our method for this page
We read each provider's own web pages on vaccination and travel clinics in Bangkok and kept only statements we could trace to a source. Nobody paid to be included, and the list is not a quality ranking. Criteria:
Bumrungrad splits vaccination between two services. The Travel Medicine Center, on the 15th floor of Building A, gives pre- and post-travel advice, travel vaccines and certificates, and malaria prevention; its list includes hepatitis B, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, meningococcal, polio and tetanus, with rabies pre-exposure vaccination started a month before travel.
The Vaccine Clinic, in the Health Screening Center on the 11th floor, covers adult vaccines such as dengue (Qdenga), influenza including a high-dose version for over-65s, hepatitis A and B, shingles, HPV, pneumococcal, Tdap and RSV. It aims to complete a visit within an hour and accepts walk-ins.
It may suit travellers who want travel advice and routine adult vaccines at one hospital.

Bangkok Hospital Headquarters gives vaccines at a Vaccine Clinic on the 1st floor of Building D, open every day from 08:00 to 16:00. Its adult vaccines are sold online as dated e-coupons, with packages for shingles, a three-dose hepatitis B course for people 65 and over, and meningococcal vaccine for adults.
Package pages state the price, the original price, the dates the coupon can be used and what is excluded: extra specialist fees, treatment and medicines. Students going abroad to study can be vaccinated through the International Medical Services centre in Building R, which also opens at weekends.
It may suit Bangkok residents planning a routine adult vaccine who want a fixed price before they go.

Authorised Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre (clinic's statement)
Thai Travel Clinic sits within Mahidol University's Hospital for Tropical Diseases on Ratchawithi Road, and its doctors teach on the faculty's tropical medicine courses. It offers pre-travel advice, more than 40 vaccines and certificates, and says it is an authorised yellow fever vaccination centre.
Its published price list, updated in July 2026, gives a price per dose for each vaccine, from rabies and Japanese encephalitis to hepatitis A, yellow fever and dengue, plus a modest doctor's and hospital fee per visit. Rabies exposures are assessed case by case, with human and equine immunoglobulin on the list, and bite patients can walk in without an appointment.
It may suit travellers who want specialist travel advice and a transparent per-dose price.
The Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute, part of the Thai Red Cross Society on Rama IV Road, has a long history in rabies prevention: it began rabies vaccine production and vaccination in 1913. Today it runs an animal bite and rabies clinic and a travel vaccine clinic.
Services include pre-exposure rabies vaccination, given as three injections over a month, post-exposure treatment after a bite, travel consultations and other travel vaccines. The institute's own guidance describes possible rabies exposure as an emergency calling for vaccine and immunoglobulin as early as possible.
It may suit people in central Bangkok who have been bitten or scratched and want a clinic that specialises in rabies.

How to compare vaccination and travel clinics in Bangkok
In Thailand, vaccines are given by travel medicine clinics, hospital vaccine clinics and hospital emergency departments. The right place depends on why you need it: planned travel vaccines and advice, a routine adult or child vaccine, or urgent rabies treatment after a bite or scratch. The last of these cannot wait for an appointment.
This guide is general information, not medical advice. A doctor or travel health professional should decide which vaccines you need, based on your plans, age, health and vaccination history.
Travel clinic, hospital vaccine clinic or emergency department
Specialist travel clinics offer a consultation about your itinerary, then vaccines, certificates and advice on malaria and other risks. Some publish a full price list per dose and are authorised to give yellow fever vaccine and certificates. Hospital vaccine clinics tend to focus on adult and child vaccines such as influenza, hepatitis B, HPV, shingles and pneumococcal, often sold as packages with a fixed price and use-by date.
After an animal bite or scratch, go to the nearest hospital emergency department or a rabies clinic the same day. Several travel and vaccine clinics are closed in the evening, on Sundays or on public holidays, so do not wait for one to open.
Plan ahead for travel vaccines
The US CDC advises seeing a doctor at least a month before a trip, and the UK government suggests checking vaccine advice at least eight weeks before travel. Some vaccines need more than one dose, spaced days or weeks apart, and some take time to give protection.
For Thailand, the CDC recommends hepatitis A for unvaccinated travellers aged one and over and typhoid for most travellers, and asks people to keep routine vaccines such as MMR up to date. It suggests Japanese encephalitis vaccine for people moving to or spending a month or more in affected areas, or with higher-risk rural activities, but not for short city trips. It lists Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Pattaya and the Krabi islands as low or no risk for malaria.
Rabies: before travel and after a bite
Dogs with rabies are sometimes found in Thailand. The CDC says pre-exposure rabies vaccination should be decided with a healthcare provider, weighing your contact with animals and how quickly you could reach treatment. Pre-exposure vaccination does not remove the need for care after a bite, but it changes and simplifies what you need.
After any bite or scratch from a mammal, the WHO advises washing the wound with soap and water for at least 15 minutes, then getting medical care promptly. A doctor will decide whether you need vaccine alone or vaccine with rabies immunoglobulin, which some clinics and hospitals stock and others may need to source. Keep a written record of every dose and the dates of the doses still due, especially if you will finish the course elsewhere.
Yellow fever and certificates
According to the CDC, Thailand requires proof of yellow fever vaccination from travellers aged nine months and over arriving from countries with a risk of yellow fever, including those with a layover of more than 12 hours in such a country. It is not required for direct travel from countries without that risk. If you need a certificate, use an authorised yellow fever vaccination centre and bring your passport.
For other vaccines, ask the clinic to record each dose, the brand and the batch in an international certificate or vaccination booklet you can keep.
Dengue
Dengue is spread by day-biting mosquitoes and occurs across Thailand, in cities as well as the countryside. Several clinics and hospitals now list a dengue vaccine. Whether it suits you depends on your age, health and history, so discuss it with a doctor; avoiding mosquito bites remains the main protection.

Questions to ask before you book
Which vaccines do you recommend for my itinerary, and which are optional?
Is the price per dose or for the full course, and how many doses will I need?
Are the doctor's fee, hospital fee and injection fee included in the price?
Which brand of vaccine will I receive, and is it in stock today?
Can you give me a dated record of each dose in an international certificate?
Are you an authorised yellow fever vaccination centre?
Do you treat animal bites, and do you stock rabies immunoglobulin?
What are your hours for walk-in rabies treatment, including weekends?
If I start a course here, can I finish it at another clinic or abroad?
Does the promotional price apply to visitors, or only to residents?
Warning signs
Advice to wait and watch for symptoms after a mammal bite or scratch instead of seeking same-day assessment.
No written record of the vaccine, brand, dose and date.
A package price with no clear number of doses or list of vaccines.
Vaccines recommended without any questions about your plans, health or previous doses.
A clinic that cannot say whether it is authorised to issue a yellow fever certificate.
Where can I get rabies treatment in Bangkok after a bite?
Hospital emergency departments, the Thai Red Cross's Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute and some travel clinics treat bites. Wash the wound for 15 minutes and go the same day.
Do I need an appointment at a Bangkok travel clinic?
For routine travel vaccines, appointments are usually advised because walk-ins may wait. For an animal bite, walk in or go to an emergency department straight away.
Are travel clinics open at weekends?
Some are. Hours on the pages we read ranged from Monday to Saturday up to seven days a week, and some clinics close on Sundays and public holidays. Check before you go.
