At least in the U.K. (apparently unlike Thailand), the government there is continuing to provide the newest COVID XBB vaccines for free to those deemed most at risk, in addition to now a new pay-for-service option for the Pfizer vaccine for everyone else. Part of a growing trend involving the direct private (non-government) sale of COVID vaccines, as is now occurring in Thailand per the OP in this thread:

Boots to offer Covid vaccines in England for nearly £100 a jab

Pharmacy to offer Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to those not eligible for NHS booster shot from next week

 

Boots is to offer Covid vaccinations for almost £100 a shot, making it the latest provider to sell the jabs to those not eligible for a booster through the NHS.

...

The announcement by Boots comes as vaccination services gear up for the spring booster campaign, in which people aged 75 years and older, residents in care homes for older people, and people aged six months and over with a weakened immune system will be offered another Covid jab free on the NHS.

 

However, with eligibility for this and previous campaigns limited, most healthy people have not had a booster jab since late 2021, and experts warn their protection will have waned over time.

Worth noting - three of the four Thailand venues cited in the OP here offering the newer COVID Pfizer XBB vaccine are doing so at lower prices than the Boots England offering above.
