They pointed out they were the first country to come to Thailand's assistance in the vaccine fight against Covid-19.
They failed to mention that they generously did so after Thailand became the first country to be infected by their citizens.

An open admission that the Government believes Sinovac is no good.
So why exactly are they continuing to buy the stuff.
Why indeed?

In 7 years at Hua Hin Immigration I have never had a problem or paid a bribe. The staff there, with one exception being a mean old woman, who deals mostly with the stacks of agent’s passports ( see previous posts about stacks of passports), is always professional and efficient.
I have rarely left unimpressed

I think we all know that the majority of the Thai people are not very bright, the 90% IQ says it, but they are also very non confrontational, hence the answer to your question. But I think the rising will come eventually if this clown is still in charge.
Is it IQ, or is it a purposefully woeful education system?

The reality is that American mRNA vaccine manufacturers were asking for approvals from the Thai government in late 2020 and here were are in September 2021 and the only mRNA vaccines in the kingdom were donated by the USA.
Much of the other (non-RNA) vaccine stock in the kingdom was also donated by foreign nations (Japan, UK, etc). One could wonder if this was the reason behind the endless and needless delays.
The failures of the Thai government to allow importation sooner has cost lives, suffering, business failures and more.
The delays in approving, ordering, and paying for effective mRNA vaccines are inexcusable and need to be closely investigated.- 9

Outrageous to spend time and resources drafting a bill to protect yourself from responsibility for your failures. Failures that left your citizens vulnerable.
How any reasonable Thai can continue to defend this administration is unfathomable.
unfortunately, those who do support it also remain immune from any responsibility.

His declarations have become muted to me. The administration keeps saying they are ordering imported vaccines, but the only mRNA vaccines coming into the Kingdom seem to be donated. The orders never seem to be completed. The purchases are announced (over and over and over again) but the ink never seems to make it to paper and the funds never seem to leave the bank.
It was many many months before the Moderna contract for private hospitals was completed (if it actually has been) adding months of long, unnecessary and dangerously risky delays. the private hospitals were begging for the imported vaccines since November 2020.
It is like an old auntie who keeps putting items in her online shopping cart, but never completes the transaction and waits endlessly at the front gate for her packages that aren’t arriving.
A more effective and reliable path may be to route the purchases through the same channels that completed the submarine contracts.- 2

I suspect the government hasn't yet actually ordered enough vaxes for everyone ... I don't see what their game-h
here is a possible scenario
1. avoid approving or buying any imported vaccines for as long as possible2delay any vaccines that are not Sinovac or AZ
3 experience mass infections, death and economic ruin
4 wait for the free vaccines to start flowing in from generous countries who pity the citizens of Thailand
5 use the money saved from vaccines to buy a fleet of submarines and space rockets

Giving your child money (if they did that, you think he hasn't got his own money?), is not "assisting him so that he may not be arrested". I can "reason" [sic] that because that's not what it is in that context. If he was working for a company that was paying him a salary while he was "away" do you really think that the company could be charged with aiding and abetting? It'd be exactly the same thing.
If the company is aware that they are employing a fugitive, absolutely they are aiding and abetting a fugitive.not only by paying them, but by not disclosing the fugitive’s whereabouts.
what part of “by any means” is ambiguous to you?
by any means has no footnotes saying except allowance by mom and dad or except funds paid by a company to their fugitive employee.
knowing the location of a fugitive and not disclosing that information to authorities is aiding and abetting.
withholding information from authorities is aiding and abetting
Providing lodging or money or assistance of any kind to a person who is known to be a fugitive is aiding and abetting.“by any means” is unambiguous and clear.

That's just your opinion. What I posted wasn't my opinion, it is fact, morals do not come into it although reasoning does, hence my reasoned reply. Giving a child money is not "assisting him so that he may not be arrested" in the context that your translated Thai law section obviously means.
The law reads “or by assisting him by any means so that he may not be arrested”.
how you can reason that sending money to your fugitive child so they may continue to remain a fugitive is anything other than assisting “BY ANY MEANS” is far from any interpretation of that statement.
“oh I didn’t offer any assistance, except paying for their expenses”, does not hold up to any reasonable persons understanding of “by any means”.
To clarifythe definition of “By any Means” is literally; in any way
any way at all.
there is no ambiguity in either the law or the definition.- 1

It helps if you actually read your own links!
"Section 189. Aiding and Abetting
Whoever assists another person who commits or is alleged of having committed an offence which is not a petty offence so that such person may not be punished by giving him lodging, by hiding, or by assisting him by any means so that he may not be arrested, shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding two years or fined not exceeding four thousand Baht, or both".
Providing their son with money (if they are doing that) is not "giving him lodging, hiding him, or assisting him so that he may not be arrested".Move along, indeed.If you believe providing your fugitive adult child money is not providing aid in avoiding their apprehension, then you lack reasoning or morals or both.move along take your children with you

How would anyone know that and what makes you think that there is an offence under Thai law of "aiding and abetting a fugitive" that his family could be charged with? Providing their son with money sure isn't an offence even if they are doing that.
It is a criminal offence in Thailand. Move along

If his family is supporting his being a fugitive, then arrest his parents for aiding and abetting a fugitive and see how fast he returns to Thailand.
If his flight from justice was not being underwritten by his family he would be far more likely to be captured and stand trial.- 9

Having a press release every time Moderna is mentioned in a meeting is like having 30 bridal showers before the wedding. You seek praise, adulation and attention, but you haven’t done anything yet
