Have the hospitals been informed?

Note the requirement if using  passport that the hospital have your medical records.

This had to happen. I've seen the same thing occur when I worked in a notable Thai institution. Farangs think they've found a loophole to acquire the same benefit as Thais, and a few weeks later, word comes saying, no. Nothing to be done about it. I expected this and said as much four days ago. It is really, really terrible that some expats who need to be in the front of the line will not get the vaccine. Stupid and immoral. But I could easily see someone going up for their "appointment" and being pulled out of line and told to go home. My rule: if it looks like the authorities are trying to exclude you, they are trying to exclude you, and they will exclude you. 

IN Europe does not matter where you come from ,you still get free injections  ,France  my old Laos friends  where the first to get injected ,but then they are considered  Human ,maybe westerners in Thailand are not ,the statement  is a inhuman  disgrace

More idiocy - many of the people who visited families are hands on workers - cab drivers, cleaners, shop staff and such. How do they "work remotely"? It shows again how totally out of touch the governing elite are with Thailand.

Thailand is clearly battling governmental incompetence as well as COVID.

Many businesses in Thailand I suspect are on their last legs, another lockdown will be catastrophic for them and many others. I'm guessing that is why govt seem so reluctant to impose one

Same. as the rest world. ,but in Europe  ,Bars /Resturant ,and more are all closed ,UK. lock down ,Hospitals  full ,not just Businesses failing world wide ,people dying  world wide ,WHY. due to the CHINESE eating wild animals ,its about time they where made to clear up there own mess and pay for it ,
