Popular Post webfact Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 Patong beach, Phuket (Photo by Lillian SUWANRUMPHA / AFP) Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has reiterated his intention to open Thailand fully to foreign visitors in the next 120 days, or within October, and is urging everyone to do their best to achieve that goal. “I would like to confirm, once again, that every agency and individual must do their utmost. (I) don’t want anyone to begin with the thought that the goal is unattainable. Today, the people are struggling for survival. Every passing day and week is important for them” said the prime minister. “We do the job with a clear target,” he said, as he predicted that there may be some disruptions, such as delayed vaccine deliveries, the possible emergence of new variants or other factors. Meanwhile, 91.4% of respondents to an opinion poll, conducted by Super Poll, said they agree with the government’s plan to reopen Thailand, in parallel with proper disease controls, after at least 50 million Thais have received their first vaccine dose.

When are these shots arriving? Do the peasants have a choice of vaccination? When are the expats living here going to be able to register for their jabs? When are those pesky expats actually going to get their shots? Lots of waffle, but nothing to back it up. 30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chelseafan Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 I pray this will happen chiefly for the Thai people but we all know it won't. This Government couldn't arrange a <deleted>-up in a brewery. If on the outside chance they get their act together, I'm pretty sure they would put too many restrictions in place for anyone wanting to come. 18 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kadilo Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Good luck to them in reaching this target. At least it looks like it’s now got the publics backing and they actually want tourists back. Things must be biting hard. It’s a difficult target but an achievable one if they get their act together quickly. I hope for everyone’s sake they manage it.

Popular Post starky Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 I also urge everyone to do their utmost to get the country reopened. Ideally from the top down .

So when things do not go according to his plan, he will say, not my fault, pathetic / useless individual. 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DrJack54 Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) What happened to TWO shots? Is ONE shot now acceptable to be classified as vaccinated.

Popular Post bradiston Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 50,000,000 / 120 = 416,666 shots per day. Never going to make it at the rate they're going. And that's just single shots. Of whatever they can get their hands on. Which appears to be very little. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post riverhigh Posted June 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2021 Absolute rubbish statement. Private hospitals back in December of last year pleaded with the Thai government to allow them to order the covid vaccine but were turned down. Even now their are restrictions on how much they can order. The blame is solely on the Thai governemnt for this mess. Absurd to expect business to invest money to re-open their businesses in October which will never happen. Thai governemnet has my vote of no confidence. 31 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 Another day another speech of the UTMOST importance and only the people can make this work, Really? what flicking planet do you live on Mr. PM. You started with an unworkable Idea because of a lack of vaccine, you forced yourself and will upon the people when you caused them financial ruin, and now you will blame them when this does not go off because the virus is just now ramping up and people are unvaccinated. 5 hours ago, webfact said: 91.4% of respondents to an opinion poll, conducted by Super Poll, said they agree with the government’s plan to reopen Thailand, in parallel with proper disease controls, after at least 50 million Thais have received their first vaccine dose. Yes they agree with opening when and if the above is met, not before then. Money is at the root of this as the PM will not kick down anymore money to the good people. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dialemco Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 Mass vaccination is the only solution to opening for International Tourism. Premature opening before vaccination could be a disaster and delay opening until well into next year. At least it is now accepted that many unregistered Thai's previously employed in tourism industry are suffering severe hardship without any help from the Government 5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
