As far as I know the only vaccination you need to enter Thailand is against yellow fever, and then only if you are coming from a country on the yellow fever list - see http://www.bangkok-visa.com/vaccinations-in-thailand.html and http://www.thaiembassy.org/pretoria/en/travel/2382/29761-Important-Information.html
Per http://www.tmb.ie/destinations/vaccinations-for-thailand there are a number of recommended vaccines : "For most standard tourists the usual recommended vaccinations for Thailand include cover against the childhood diseases (Tetanus and Diphtheria, Measles, Mumps and Rubella) as well as cover against the food borne diseases of Typhoid and Hepatitis A. For those trekking in the Thai countryside or staying for longer periods then cover against Hepatitis B and Rabies should be considered."
Can you avoid the yellow fever shot? Yes, but coming to Thailand before visiting any country on the yellow fever list. If you don't have the other shots, I'd recommend having a good health insurance plan with a reputable company that is accepted in Thailand, or access tto funds to cover medical bills if you do get one of those diseases.
