I make a new conspiracy theory. 
The virus is from Mars!

the Chinese sent a rover to Mars that secretly sent a sample back that contained the virus. To be sure the Mars sample was safe they sent it to the hunan lab where it escaped. The virus is mad about earth invading Mars and is intent on taking over humans brains making them into martians. The only way to stay human is to get vaccinated! ?

You might be right there Vintage, and it is my belief that they have taken over the brains of the Thai government and controlling Thailand until they are strong enough to take over the world!

That Anutin looks a bit alien to me . . .

The UK is doing absolutely nothing to help it’s citizens here I wrote to the embassy only the other day, and received a box standard fob off email back 

Thank you for your email.

The nationwide rollout of vaccines in Thailand began on 7th June. The Thai government has said it will include all foreign residents, starting with those over the age of 60 or with the following health conditions: 

Severe Chronic Respiratory Disease 

Coronary Artery Disease 

Chronic Kidney Disease (5th stage) 

Stroke  

Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy 

Diabetes  

Obesity (over 100 kg or BMI greater than 35) 

If you meet these criteria you can register for a vaccine via the Ministry of Public Health website https://thailandintervac.com/ (registration opens daily at noon – 3pm). 

If you do not meet any of these criteria, you can register for a vaccine via https://thailandintervac.com/expatriates 

We are aware that vaccine appointments are currently full; however, the Ministry Of Public Health advises that more appointments will become available as soon as possible.   

The only vaccines that have been approved and procured for use in Thailand are AstraZeneca, Sinovac and Sinopharm. You may not be able to choose which you receive. You should contact the hospital or vaccination centre for more information if you have any concerns. The Thai government anticipates that Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson vaccines will be available by the end of the year. 

The only vaccine centres currently available are Vimut, MedPark and PhayaThai2 hospitals, which are all in Bangkok. It is anticipated that more locations will be added in future.  

As Provincial Offices manage the distribution of vaccines, some provinces may prioritise different groups or have different ways to register for a vaccine. You should check with your local provincial authority.  

The Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) also anticipates that vaccines will be available at private hospitals throughout the second phase of the vaccination rollout. They will provide more information when available.  

We understand that the Government Pharmaceuticals Organization will place an order for 10 million doses of the Moderna vaccine on behalf of the Private Hospital Association. The first batch is expected to arrive in October and will cost 3800 baht for two doses. We will provide information about how to register for these vaccines when available. 

For more information on travel and living overseas during COVID-19, please visit the coronavirus (COVID-19) pages on our Travel Advice website.  

You can also sign up to our Thailand Travel Advice and UK in Thailand Twitter and/or Facebook pages to keep up to date with any future announcements.  

We will issue updates direct to your email when we receive updated information from The Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) and Ministry Of Public Health relating to the vaccination programme in Thailand. If you would like to receive these updates, please reply to this email. 

Kind Regards,

UK Embassies have evolved a system to avoid responsibility and work.

They do this by denying emails answers, by limiting these to certain days and time, which includes answering the telephone, and such as using the stock cut and paste answer you received Col.

A few years a go a UK citizen was dying in Pattaya. The Bangkok embassy would not answer the emergency telephone or emails or any telephone.

I contacted the Foreign office and a month later all calls to the Bangkok Embassy went through the foreign office in London. The Bangkok Embassy HAD to answer a call from the foreign office.

I suggest if you are being stonewalled, contact the foreign office in the UK.

These civil servants think they can sit in a cheap foreign country, on British wages, and ignore British Nationals who pay their wages.

Prove them wrong.

It is interesting that the USA government is helping Thai people but not helping their own citizens in Thailand.

Good point
