He said, once all centers are up and running, they will be able to inoculate between 38,000 and 50,000 people a day which, when combined with the vaccination capacity of 126 hospitals in Bangkok, means seven to eight million people will receive their first doses of the vaccine by the end of August.

Agreed, providing one has the vaccines ................LOL

I was about to ask a simple question about that

 

what happens to "anyone" living in Phuket that prefers to wait ?

 

will they be removed from the Island and banned ?

 

this would be of special interest to foreigners that live there with their homes there - will they be ejected

 

 

In addition what about people who do not work in Phuket but retired there, obviously they do not count at all in all this

This was needed because if foreigners looked at the total virus numbers in Thailand they might be scared and put off visiting.

In other words they are "Grasping at Straws " .............LOL

The willingness of Thai citizens to be inoculated against Covid-19 has dropped in 2021 despite data showing that the risks are small, and outweighed by the benefits of protection against the potentially fatal virus.

 

The opposition blamed the lack of public trust on the government’s miscommunication.

Who can blame them, there has been so much false information allowed to flow from various government sources nobody believes a word what is said, plus the only vaccine that there is an abundance of is the Chinese variety which also does not instill confidence so absolutely understandable the drop in figures .......

He anticipated that in the fourth quarter from October 1st to the end of the year there will be 100,000 foreign tourists coming to Hua Hin, reported Thai Rath.

This the same place that will be supposedly accepting unvaccinated foreigners in 2 months ? 

Think anyone booking this 'free roam vaccinated holiday' now is like someone putting money on zero on the roulette wheel

 

Xenophobia raising it's head once again, I agree Richard with your comment regarding visitors, but why don't they comment sensibly like "Anyone failing to observe the restrictions in place regarding gatherings will face serious consequences" instead of always blaming the foreigners ......!!!! 

Can't see any grey areas in this one

when asked by Thai PBS World what he thinks is the most challenging factor in the latest wave of the COVID-19.

The new measure means easier access to hotspots like Pattaya, Phang Nga, Koh Samui, Krabi and the capital Bangkok, deputy government spokeswoman Traisulee Traisoranakul said, among 10 provinces that will welcome tourists with proof of vaccination against COVID-19 from Oct. 1.

I cannot speak for the other popular listed destinations but what are people going to do when they arrive in Pattaya? - IT'S CLOSED !!!!!!

Thailand's DPM and health minister Anutin Charnvirakul yester denied that the government were standing in the way of vaccine companies selling to the private sector. 

Sorry mate but your street credibility lapsed quite a long time ago .............

plus the fact (reported today) that a further requirement to allow authorities access to private medical records.

 

again why are they turning this relatively simple process into a complicated circus

 

If people have underlying conditions then it is likely they are already being treated by a doctor - why not let their own doctor administer a vaccine shot instead of this constant authoritarian power and control cluster F

 

Time to hand control of this over to professional medical people and remove incompetent leaders who are standing in the way while trying to manufacture opportunities to enrich themselves

Sorry, but I can only like once ..................LOL
