Still does not get it, that its his own Citizens that need to be vaccinated first, not the Tourists.

He gets it

> Meanwhile, the government has signed contracts to procure an additional 105.5 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines from six manufacturers, namely, Pfizer Johnson and Johnson, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, and Sinopharm, by the end of the year.

Lets face it, it's an overarching placebo plan dependant on decreasing figures in C contracted & associated fatalities, these move in the wrong direction or not move then we do not pass go.

What have they actually said; we can reopen in 4 months with emphasise on the big if...the goalposts have moved progressively in an inconclusive projected timeline. If they want to wipe out any form of Tourism they are going the right way about it. You can't have a glass of wine with your meal...for what? WTF difference does it make? hotels cannot open on a maybe...

You can now have a foot massage; what about me as I'm only 6 inches? They are hampered by unchallenged regional incompetents, rant over, I'm opening the whisky...

Promising, but remember that TITS always applies and there is always room to screw it up.

Great point by earlier post that this does not mean all entertainment venues will be open.

Is this the same guy that said The Vaccination Rollout is going as plan, while appointments are being cancelled and a vaccine shortage is all over Thailand?  

[OKAY]

Why a 120 day wait on this? What changes about vaccinated farang in 120 days?  No, 'They' do not get it.

Nothing changes on your end, but 120 days will hopefully be enough so the people already here could get vaccinated as well. Don't forget that just because your vaccinated, doesn't mean you aren't a carrier.

The big IF is whether Thailand gets to grips with vaccinating it`s own people in time...I,m doubtful on that.

Very doubtful as well. Also many will have the Sinovac/Sinopharm which we have no idea if it's effective on the delta strain since it's barely effective on even the original strain. Mutations and variants are also happening/being discovered more quickly now and leading to rising cases and more serious cases even in countries with decently high vaccination rates, who knows what we will have in 120 days.
