......My MD has no confidence in Sinovac of which all hospital staffs by now have gotten at least one dose, he said most well to do Thais are going to Europe or the U.S. for a vaccine. /QUOTE]
According to my better half, none of his Thai friends or family members want any part of Sinovac for the reasons you mentioned.
He feels he's young enough to be able to recover from covid if he had to - without concerns about any side effects from a vaccine which is gaining a reputation for being "cheap Chinese garbage". I couldn't agree with him more.
The way Thailand is handling the vaccine procurement and distribution is beyond appalling...it's a disgrace.

"The way Thailand is handling the vaccine procurement and distribution is beyond appalling...it's a disgrace."
It's entirely predictable as I did in fact, predict. This is a society where every decision made by any official has 'what's in it for me?' attached. This isn't like that, demand far outstrips supply so if there are any backhanders going then they're going the other way. This is far beyond the experience of almost any Thai in government.
The general probably couldn't get his head round the idea that he could spend billions on vaccines and not get his share of the cash.

This thread is a long way off topic.
Maybe the obnoxious hydras, trolls and grammar N@zis may have been at work, but I have no intention of checking. Perhaps the off topic material could be transferred to a sandbox ?
Back on topic, I expect out of the people who might holiday in Thailand, most of them would want Quarantine conditions which are predictable.
Not like the kind of shambles in Phuket, where people who share a plane with one person who fails a PCR test are sent to a quarantine hotel for 2 weeks, at their own expense.

It's impossible to predict what's going to happen from one day to the next right now.
Planning holidays in the middle of this mess with predictable quarantines is like rolling the dice. Maybe you win. Maybe you lose. No one on earth can change those odds right now.

#1 Whatever scheme Thailand introduces for tourists, it is clearly sensible to observe it in action for at least a couple of weeks before joining in. Let some other people be the guinea pigs & find out if people can be randomly incarcerated after 1 other person on the plane fails a PCR test. Or some other form of random & illogical discrimination against tourists.
#2 Unless someone has a serious reason to return to Thailand (e.g. home or family), it makes no sense to go there right now an uncontrolled rise in cases. After all, that could end up with a full lockdown, so not much of a holiday.
Now give it 5~6 months and even Thailand might have vaccinated the majority of the population and be past the current upward trend in cases.
