TLDR : Answer Summary
Foreigners living in Thailand, particularly those on retirement visas, can currently access the Sinovac vaccine, with the AstraZeneca vaccine expected to be available soon. Registration for vaccinations has begun at some private hospitals, although availability may vary. Information on other potential vaccines remains unclear, with updates expected around August. Some expats have expressed frustration over the slow rollout compared to other countries.

you’ve answered your own question. Paying for quarantine which can be lengthened as they see fit. More money to be made than spending it on vaccines.

wrong, as if a few thousand doing ASQ would make any difference to the GDP. They want and need tourists back as it's nearly 20% of GDP but cam only do it when they have the majority vaccinated which will likely be by Q4

I went to BNH and Bangkok Christian yesterday to see if I could register. Christian had no information and did not allow registration. BNH allowed registration and took time to make sure they had all of the information and contact through my line and email and telephone. No projection update but registration was a simple matter there

I inquired yesterday at private hospital in Kalasin and they could not even give me an estimate on when a vaccine will be available

From probably end of June at private hospitals available.

At the moment it's just Sinovac, soon also Astra-Zeneca, later maybe more choices (options), but that's not sure yet.
