If anyone is thinking about getting travel vaccinations, here are some cost comparisons.
I went to the Thai Travel Clinic at Mahidol Hospital [near Victory Monument] about 18 months ago.
It's part of the tropical diseases department.

Another option is the Red Cross at Lumpini.
Here is a link to their vaccine price list.

Prices have gone up a touch since 2012.
Seeing as I am always being chased by dogs,
I got the 3 rabies pre exposure. Each shot was 350bht [2012 exch was $11au]
Private Thai hospital's and clinic's quoted around 630bht each shot
Australian travel clinic's price $105 each shot.
Typhoid - Thyphim Vi One shot at 490bht [$15au]
Australian prices were from $55 to $62
Japenese Enceph SA-14-14-2 450bht [$14]
Australian price was very high.
Note that this vaccine comes in different forms I think.
Each time you visit the hospital there is a 100bht doctor fee, a 70bht hospital fee, and 20bht for each
time the nurse sticks a needle in your arm. Doctors and nurse all spoke good english, and the nurse was
studying for a Masters in tropical deseases, I think she said. Just my memory not clicking in.
Quite enjoyed each visit.
