    I'd guess that almost all of the Americans are returnees (two of my American friends are completing their sandboxes today and lamming out to Pattaya on today's last Nok Air flight to Utapao). If they wanted a tropical holiday, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii are much better options at the moment.

    Especially as almost everything in Pattaya is closed.

    it's not the uk governmrnts job to vaccinate expats, if you want the vaccine it is being provided free of charge within the uk, so go home. vaccinating expats in thailand, or any other country, would be a slippery slope as all uk expats around the world would expect similair treatment, a massive undertaking. expats in thailand are not a special case.

    You are well aware that the majority of expats would not be able to return to their families, as the requirements for covid insurance are way too expensive.

     

    I have no idea how many UK expats are currently in Thailand, although Immigration should have an up to date figure.

    I would expect it to be nowhere near the 415000 donated, therefore if the vaccines cannot be prioritised for UK nationals, it shows the disdain and contempt shown by the UK govt towards them.

     

    Currently in Pattaya there is no way to get a vaccine, this was confirmed yesterday in the British Embassy Vaccine Update.

    Registration in Pattaya has been temporarily suspended.

    The virus is now widespread in Thailand. It is not going away without mass vaccination.  Is it not better to let fully tested and vaccinated people in without other hurdles.  They are low risk in terms of infection.  They will spend significantly more than a poor unregulated refugee slipping across the border from Myanmar. Time to get real. 

    To properly open up Pattaya needs the workers who have returned to their homes, mainly in Isaan.

    The majority of these will return without having had a vaccine in their home towns.
