If you have a TE, check your email for the most recent (May, 2021) TE newsletter.
TE is soliciting a survey of members regarding the Covid vaccine.
Questions such as the 'brand' of vaccine preferred (Pfizer, Moderna, Sino, etc), should TE make it 'complementary' for members, etc.
Perhaps they're organizing something to (relatively) quickly immunize TE members....?
Needless to say, I recommend at least completing it.

Looking at the 'six steps' above, my first thought was "what a pain in the aXX"
They think "tourists" will jump through these hoops?
Plenty of other options.

Who needs who?
The US interest, today, in Thailand is minimal.
Far more important are Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
And, btw, who is Thailand's BIGGEST export customer? USA.

Note the key word: "negotiating"
Nothing ordered, finalized, so on, unfortunately.
Take this with a grain of salt.

While Sinovac is 'better than nothing', the director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, has stated its (relatively) low efficacy.

The title is 'incorrect.'
You are not "on your own."
In areas like Pattaya, CM, and Phuket an agent can be used (free of charge) who will do the 90 day reports for you.
Simple and efficient.

This is a VERY serious issue for Thailand (and China) for mid and long-term future.
They get 'old' before they get 'rich.'
Demography is not destiny but it's close.

How many people(?) are going to ON TOP of the quarantine, charter flight, insurance, etc, ALSO pay:
Application Service Fee and Payment Terms & Conditions:
10,000 THB excluding 7% VAT per applicant
The applicant will also have to pay the 2,000 THB visa fee at the Embassy/Consulate

I, for one, despite wanting to return am NOT going through these logistical and financial hoops.

How long is transportation to and from airports allowed to be? Would it include for example Suvannabhumi to Pattaya? Or is transportation intended to be valid only for the local area of those few airports?
Depending on the TE 'plan' purchased, transport may OR may not be included.
And IF transport IS included, it's only to Bangkok from BKK not to Pattaya.

According to an article in the BKK Post (no link, per forum rules), Thai Elite Visa holders can (perhaps) enter relatively soon.
Excerpt: Five select groups of foreigners......travelers who are members of the Thailand Elite Card scheme, Dr Taweesilp said.
TE holders are part of a group of five they're considering allowing to enter the country.
+1 from this TE holder.

Pattaya: Mass vaccination of 40,000 people at sports stadium to begin mid-May
in Pattaya News
Posted
Not only will this 'plan' require millions of dosages it requires:
Massive medical personnel
Syringes, swabs, etc.
PPE (personal protection equipment)
Transport to/from the stadium
Pattaya ALONE, population (500K)
70% vaccinated=350K
implying 1600k/DAY. Every single day.
Don't bet on a 'high season' in 2021.
