TLDR : Answer Summary
The community strongly believes that the email in question is a scam. Multiple users have identified it as phishing aimed at gaining access to personal information or infecting devices with malware. They recommend not opening any links or attachments from the email and checking official sources for updates on the Thai Pass approval.

They are asking you to open it on a PC because the malware or virus is designed to infect a Windows machine. If it was a legitimate document such as PDF or DOC there is no reason why you can't open it on a mobile device.

 Just wondering Gary, some people asked you for the sender's email address but I don't see where you posted it, doesn't helping people work both ways?

Forgive me if I'm wrong and you did do so.

It's Phishing. Hover your mouse over the download button (don't click it) and you'll see the real link is nothing to do with TP.
