All kinds of businesses, but not all kinds of foreigners. Hmm

Thailands priorities are different to the rest of the world.

Forget the elder generation, forget the sick, forget the unemployed, just inoculate a resort for profit.

It would appear that Phuket has become the focal point in Thailand for COVID-19 vaccinations for purely economic reasons that may or may not be viable in 'restarting' tourism in one province in Thailand. As for the vulnerable groups of people outside of Phuket (and in Phuket itself)  - we will have to wait and see.  And for foreigners in Thailand, it will certainly be more 'wait' than 'see'.

I would say Phuket is the focal point as a trial, nit 'for purely economical reasons'.

Not being first or second in line doesn't mean being left out.

Just Phuket? Why not nationwide?

 

is this all going to be province by province, location by location?

 

Yesterday the deputy or por dor, wife's nephew, was whizzing around the village with a pre filled list of residents to get their signature for vaccination. As the current lone expat, he asked me if I wanted to sign up. Happy to, I added my name and signature. added

 

Day 1 since then.... We'll see what will happen, especially as the elections are just a couple of months away...

Not nationwide because it would be unwise to start opening up on a grand scale. Phuket is acting as the guinea pig here.

I won't be registering a Chinese made vaccine anytime soon. They can put that where the sun don't shine.

I am in the above group,i have followed the rules regarding restrictions,staying at home etc,and would quite happily do it for a longer period, as ì firmly believe that getting the working age population vaccinated first is the way to go,to expedite communities getting back to normality,and getting the World economies' up and running again.

Im not sure about that I see no indication of a load of Chinese coming to Phuket, according to Booking.com their stats say going by the country the most people looking or searching is from Russia and there does seem a lot of Russians about

 

It appears that the reaction to my post shows that there has been a severe outbreak of humour loss today. Okay.

Dear Rocket Scientist Gov folks,

So comforting to know BUSINESS people ($$$) in Phuket will be registered & vax'd! 

 

What the heck does that mean for the WHITE DEVILS in the rest of Thailand!!!???

 

Your jabbing thousands of Thais every day in BKK, = GREAT, but are our arms/shoulders just too much of a RACIAL hurdle for you to contemplate? This is pure, plain, simple, TRANSPARENT racism! For the whole world to see!

 

Your Tourisim Minister might want to consider the adverse affect this will have on the Thai economy in the future! 

 

Yet I still LOVE Thai people, Gov not so much!

Oh, not the 'racist' card again...

The whole world shows favoritism regarding its own family for example. The whole world. A wealthy father will buy a luxury car for his son, and ignore the family next door who has financial trouble at the end of each month. Same.

People generally take care of their own family before anyone else. Just the way tit is.

So Thailand is taking care of its people, and will get to visitors when the time comes.

Nothing to do with race.

What would you think would happen to a Thai who got citizenship in America for example, here on vacation, no national ID, simply no longer part of the extended family of Thai people.

Wait it would be....

What a STUPID reply, people die from Covid, whether they are Thai or USA/Aust etc, nothing to do with helping out neighbors. USA/Aust/UK do NOT discriminate on race/color Thais are being vaccinated in such countries exactly the same as their own citizens!!!!!! So forget your race card BS! 

 

My arm is the same as yours. This Gov changes its mind every single day, June 1st, June 7th, August, maybe September. We didn't bring covid to Thailand, the Chinese spread it all over the world. I don't see race I see people, I've been color blind by CHOICE all my life.

Same, will get it when the good stuff arrives, don't want the Chinese stuff anyway!

Orchid resort was busy yesterday.

Aren't they doing us a favor, but not making the jab available to us? What's the hurry, let's wait and see?

Hehe, a bit confused as you seem there.

Actually, liberal countries are HELPING people from other countries. That is the basis of immigration policies in liberal countries. USA CANADA, both have now a liberal government.

Thailand is different. Immigrants or visitors want to come to Thailand, must show money first. Just the way it is.

But I agree with you, not a race issue, but a nationality issue, in some countries.

The best I could do now do to the confusion in your text.

My employer is very quiet. Just as well, as I do not want the Chinese vaccine.
