Make representations in every country = go begging because we didn't order any from the manufacturers in time, because we thought we could make money by doing it ourselves.

Yes, they are going begging for vaccines.

Why don't they ask 1 rich family - CP - to put in money so Thailand can buy some vaccines?

Why not ask other rich families here in Thailand that have made money of this pandemic to contribute as well?

Get the military to put in a LOT from their budget for the countries well being ... 

 

Thailand has options, but likes to act like a 3rd world country when it suits them.

This joke of a gov needs to stop the charades with Thanathorn too!

Thanathorn had the b*lls to come out in Jan '21 stating how bad the current strategy was for procuring vaccines and HE WAS RIGHT!  Yet they still go after him ... 

 

Why can't someone charge the people in that made this mess - Prayut, Anutin, the Dr that goes along with Sinovac, and the CP family - for malfeasance and ineptitude!   If it gets thrown out of court, then someone else bring up charges.

Chicken little would be considered an optimist in this debacle.

   '...pulling out all the stops...'  Hardly.  Sounds like a complete waste of time.  How's a Thai embassy going to procure millions of vaccines?  Maybe they will manage a donation of a few thousand here and there--and we will get another news story.  The millions of vaccines should have been ordered months ago--and not by the foreign ministry but the health ministry.  Just another news blurb in the never ending 'pretend we are doing something' exercise.

quoted the IT expert and spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that the ministry were working hard all over the world to secure vaccine deals.

If he is an IT 'expert" then he needs to realize that not everybody is, and make their expatvac user friendly.

"The IT Expert" Is that the one who put the SH in IT,?

Pulling out all the stops? I'm sure there are quite a few 'stops' still in place. Their need to support the King being the biggest one - surely his marvelous AstraZenca factory is one reason we should love him even more!!!

Better late than never. (in this case, ridiculously late) 

Sounds like a finance problem, I thought the boys that pay the piper had plenty, obviously not going to part with it.

Pity the boat has already sailed - many needless deaths at the door of Prayuth!!!
