Because the system for Thais is based on Thai ID numbers. And is entirely in Thai, including need to type in entries in Thai.

 

The article is incorrect in stating that foreigners are unable to register on the current app. Some can and have. But only those with a Thai ID number and able to navigate the Thai language aspect.  Save to say majority of foreigners are not.

 

Another factor is that the vaccination in June is restricted to people over 60 and with chronic diseases. The vast majority of foreigners in Thailand are migrant workers and very, very few of them would qualify, so no real need for a system for them to register now as not negligible for that phase.

 

While expats tend to hear the word "foreigner" as meaning "western expats" that is nto what it means to the Thai government. Western expats are a very tiny minority of the foreigners living in Thailand.

 

 

Ah ok I see so there's no foreigners in Thailand over 60 with Chronic Illnesses then such as Diabetic etc.

Well sure if they have a Thai ID they will be counted as Thai and those who were able to register somehow slipped through the system but don't mean they will get a Vaccine. Migrant workers don't count then? mmm
