If 70% of the population is vaccinated with this vaccine that is just over 50% effective you might conclude this amounts to just over 35% of the population being fully vaccinated. Why would any tourist come under these conditions? When the whole population is vaccinated with the several more effective vaccines then maybe the tourists will begin to arrive but not anywhere in the numbers of recent past years. Get rid of the ridiculous 40,000/400,000 nearly useless insurance requirement for some and raise that new arrival fee from 300 baht to 500 baht to cover the expenses of those sick or injured here who are unable or unwilling to pay their bills. For expats in country add that fee to their annual extensions the same as those arriving. Announced forecast of the income expected from this new fee would cover all unpaid medical expenses and still allow for the stated maintenance for tourist and other destinations.
...some of your numbers are incorrect!..it is 96% Efficacy, and its CoViD-19.

Pathetic isnt it? Police determined it was a tragic accident.
Of course they did, anything else would mean the lazy sods would have to do some work.
what!...how can they speculate...they need a post mortem before they jump to any conclusions..the initial post mortem takes a few hours but blood analysis can take up to six weeks for a full toxicology profile...give them a break.

Multiply with frequent boosters

I searched and searched, also read ~ 5 different articles, no mention.
I get why the regime would want to withhold this information, after all they treat the people like buffalo. But better to identify the vaccine, and the rarity of this response, than hide it.
1 in 500,000..more than likely an underlying illness.

OP...there is only one strain so far...everything else referred to is a 'variant'...just wish they would get it right...you're giving people the impression there is more than one Sars-CoVi-2 virus.

The simple answer, to a somewhat complex process, is you obtain a house registration book, known as a "Yellow Book" from the Amphur where you reside. Having that yellow book facilitates obtaining the pink ID card also from the Amphur.
Married or not is not a requirement BUT a marriage to a Thai does make the process easier.
Your questions are best answered by going to the Amphur and asking them what they will require. Bring any documentation you have concerning your immigration status (passport, TM30, etc.) and residence (lease or??) with you to facilitate the discussion and a Thai language interpreter if you are not a fluent speaker.
Start with that....
...my Amphur also required the presence of the village headman (poo-yai) to vouch for me living in his zone..FYI.

This is not about the efficacy of individual vaccines, but the changing situation brought about by variants that are more transmissible, and a change in strategy for the deployment of available recourses.
I am not making any value judgment concerning the recourses and the response. , they are what they are, and .Both are arguable.
Simply saying that since conditions have changed, so should the response , what is so unusual about that?
..nothing at all..at least you're on the ball.

Let me translate for you....
They do not have enough vaccine, so the "plan" must be adjusted.
...translate what?....they have plenty of Sinovac to begin..it doesn't matter if you mix vaccines as they all translate very well on their spike proteins.

I understand your frustration with the late response to the situation by the Thai government, They thought they were going to delay having to buy vaccines early when they were expensive and in low supply, by closing the country, And procure vaccines later when most of the major vaccine producing countries were vaccinated and they could get it cheap. And they almost made it, but they did not count on variants.
To a varying degree every country changed it's response to reflect conditions as they change. No to do so would be irresponsible and against basic management techniques. This situation is unprecedented, and different, even from city to city ,It changes in unpredictable ways.
There is no playbook.
One of the basic tenants of system (any system) management is monitoring and adjustment.
I am not making any excuses for them, but IMO , making nessacery , or at least what is perceived to be nessacery at the time , changes, is a good thing .
...it wasn't about the variants...it was about the few cases of clotting and extreme side-effects that prompted FDA and the GPO here to go back to the manufactures to investigate further before the all-clear was given. The Sars-CoVi-2 virus responds to all vaccines that have been produced. All the variants are knocked off by the vaccine.

...why are they waiting...if they have enough for the first dose...get into it...the 2nd dose can follow...get it into arms right now!

What a useless futile attempt.
UV rays from sunlight kills the virus on surfaces, so the only chance for this to be effective is at night.
Rain purifies the air.
A 70% alcohol solution is needed to destroy the virus, but alcohol evaporates many times faster than the 30% water content in the mist discharged under the drone blades. So what alcohol content percentage remains after being blown around that actually lands on a virus to kill it?
...exactly..all you end up with is a nice clean drne under-carriage.
