Thai Enquirer Summary

Covid-19 News

The plans for the masses to be able to get themselves vaccinated by walk-in seems to

have come to a dead end again, and this time it is was clarified by both the Prime

Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.

The Prime Minister reasoned that walk-in vaccination services could create a

scene of turmoil when large numbers of people gather in 1 spot. The government

did not want to proceed with the service because the country does not have

enough supply of Covid-19 vaccines to allow walk-in like what is happening in

the United States.

He said the government wants the public to go to the Mor Prom (doctors ready)

mobile app to book for Covid jabs. The Prime Minister also asked the public to

stop talking about walk-in services for now until the government is able to figure

out clearer guidelines. He said walk-in services are a complicated issue that needs

a good management.

A Thai media outlet has reported that a Polish engineer who travelled from India on a

vessel arrived in Songkhla had received treatment in a private hospital in the province,

sounding the alarm that the B.1.617.2 strain that was 1st detected in India may have

already entrenched through the Thai soil.

However, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has come out

to deny reports on its official page that the infected engineer remained on the

vessel and did not reach the Thai shore. The patient has received treatment by a

private hospital. The infected engineer has not disembarked the vessel.

Dr Taweesin Visanuyothin, the spokesperson of the Centre for Covid-19 Situation

Administration (CCSA), said the CCSA is keeping watchful at the B.1.617.2

strain after the variant has been found in a cluster of more than 50 unlinked cases

at Changi Airport in Singapore.

Today’s Covid-19 numbers remain high

Total new infection - 3,394

Inmate cases - 1,498

Community cases - 1,896

Total new death - 29

Total patients recovered - 4,450

There are cases now that some people’s vaccination plans have been delayed by up to 2-

months as they checked their information on Moo Prom application

The authorities have come out to blame that the hospitals have taken out the

names but that is something that can’t be done that easily.

That the application developer has now changed the mode to stop any such

amendments by the hospitals.

Former Transport Minister Chadchart Sittipunt has come out to reveal the fact that only a

small Covid-19 prevention budget of 750,000 baht has been allocated to cover all prisons

nationwide. This averages out to only a few baht per inmate at a time when 11,670

inmates from just 13 out of the 142 prisons have tested positive for the virus.

In his Facebook post yesterday, Chadchart included a link to a Corrections

Department document, dated May 11 and signed by Director-General Ayut

Sinthopphan, which granted this amount to protect all 142 prisons nationwide, to

procure and provide surgical masks, sanitizer gel, disposable gloves, personal

protective equipment (PPE), infrared thermometers, 70 per cent Ethyl Alcohol

and cleaning sprays.

There are about 310,000 inmates in prisons across the country, according to

information from Justice Minister Somsak Thepsuthin. After doing his maths

Chadchart said only an average of 2.41 baht per inmate is provided to fight

Covid-19.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education resolved to postpone the opening of the 1st term at

all schools run by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to June 14 due to

rising concern over the safety of students, parents and members of the public.

The report came after the Bangkok’s Committee on Covid-19 Situation

Administration’s meeting chaired by Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang

which resolved to delay the opening of the 1st term of the new academic year

following the rising number of Covid-19 cases in the capital.

Economic News

The Cabinet yesterday opted to approve another 700 billion baht as stimulus to help

offset the impact of the 3rd

wave of Covid-19 in Thailand.

This is an addition to the 1 trillion baht that has already been approve last year

and comes on top of the many other such borrowings in the past in the name of

Covid-19 pandemic.

Local media has reported that the funding available to be used so far stand at 1.8

trillion (unused funds)

Out of this 1.5 trillion is lying idle for the use for the pandemic stimulus

and 300 billion is for the use by the Ministry of Public Health.

An executive decree has received approval from the cabinet which will allow the

government to seek an additional 700 billion baht to revitalise the economy

battered by the resurgence of the Covid-19 outbreak in the 3rd

wave.

The decree will authorise the government to borrow the money to rehabilitate the

virus-hit economy as well as fund schemes to help people and entrepreneurs

affected by the 3rd wave of the pandemic which has been more severe than the 2

previous rounds.

The government proposes to spend 400 billion baht of the new borrowing to help

various sections of the society affected by the new outbreak, while 270 billion

baht will be used to revive the economy, the people said. About 30 billion baht

will be set aside to finance medical supplies and vaccines to contain the latest

outbreak.

The fresh borrowing can be completed before September 30 next year and is on

top of an ongoing 1-trillion baht debt plan authorized by the cabinet last year to

fund pandemic relief measures.

Sirikanya Tansakul, Kao Klai (Move Forward) Party’s deputy leader, has come out to

reveal that the executive decree seeking an additional 700 billion baht loan is a 4-pages

document. She urged the public to keep a close watch on the 2022 budget appropriation

bill approved by the Finance Ministry to allow the government to seek an additional loan.

Sirikanya also called for the public to keep an eye on the cabinet’s meeting that

will discuss a clandestine letter submitted by the Defence Ministry, asking for a

budget of 387 million baht from the central budget set aside for use in combatting

the new wave of coronavirus. Sirikanya claimed that the Defence Ministry plans

to use 207 million baht to fund security services under the emergency operation

centre. She speculated that the Defence Ministry will make use of such a budget

to tackle political demonstrations, instead of using it to combat the outbreak.

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha has come out to threaten restaurants in dark-red

zones that they will face closures if they fail to comply with new regulations that allow

until 21.00 hrs and only 25 per cent tables, or 1 person per table in a bid to reduce the

economic and social impacts.

with their friend/loved ones etc.

speed up vaccine distribution and logistics, communication, IT operation

and extra vaccine procurement.

GDP growth forecast from 1.5-3.0 per cent. There is a chance of a further

cut.

Governor and the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand to drive government

plans to vaccinate manufacturing workers nationwide.

The cabinet has approved the reduction of social security fund contributions from 5 per

cent to 2.5 per cent for 3 months under Section 33 as proposed by the Social Security

Office (SSO).

The cuts, applied to contributions made by both employers and employees, should

help both sides while boosting circulation and improving the post-Covid-19

economy.

216 baht a month during the same period from 432 baht during the 3-month

points with a trade value of 98.214 billion baht in line with the direction of overseas stock

markets and investors’ worries about Covid-19 cases eased.

people recovered from Covid-19.

NSL Foods Plc, a bakery and snack manufacturer distributing through 7-Eleven

convenience, will go public today with an initial public offering (IPO) of up to 75 million

baht in revenue in the next 5 years.

SET-listed companies reported a net profit of 256 billion baht for the first quarter, an

increase of 137 per cent year-on-year, as surges in oil and petrochemical prices boosted

Thailand's total market cap.

cap, have reported their first-quarter results to the SET. There are 754 listed

Investment. The net profit is a 45 per cent increase from the previous quarter and

37 per cent higher than analysts' consensus forecast, according to Asia Plus

Securities (ASPS).

Therdsak Thaveeteeratham, executive vice-president of ASPS, said the energy

sector, which includes petrochemicals and commodities, was the most profitable

segment in the first quarter, as prospects of an extensive global vaccine rollout in

the second quarter and a worldwide economic recovery drove commodity prices

to keep rising since the beginning of this year.

SET-listed Jay Mart registered a record quarterly net profit of 333 million baht in the first

quarter, up 218 per cent year-on-year, buoyed by revenue from its mobile device

distribution business. Its revenue surged 8.2 per cent year-on-year to 2.88 billion baht in

Jay Mart, saw its sales in the first quarter reach 1.99 billion baht, up 24 per cent

year-on-year.

Political News

Former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and his sister Yingluck Shinawatra appeared

on ClubHouse yesterday to talk about ways to help the younger generation think on ways

they need to think in order to be relevant in the future.

Both former Prime Ministers who were ousted in coup in 2006 and 2014

respectively, called on the people to ask those coup makers on what the country

has achieved in the years since the coup.

May 22 marks the 7th

anniversary of the coup against Yingluck.

The Prachachon Khon Thai (Thai people) group submitted a letter to Prime Minister Gen

Prayut Chan-o-cha through the complaint centre in Government House, calling for Gen

Prayut’s resignation to allow the parliament to pick a new prime minister.

Phichit Chaimongkon, a co-leader of the group and a friend of Progressive

Movement chairman Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit when the 2 were members

of the student federation of Thailand, submitted a letter to Sakesakol Attawong,

an assistant to the prime minister’s office, to call on Gen Prayut to make his

sacrifice by stepping down after failing to lead reforms in the country and solve

the current crisis.

The group called for Gen Prayut to resign to allow the parliament to pick a new

prime minister but not from a list of prime ministerial candidates proposed by

political parties.

The group demands an outsider prime minister to lead the country through the

time of crisis, Phichit said, proposing Supachai Panitchpakdi, former director-

general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and former secretary-general of

the UN Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad), as the most suitable

candidate.

Former Democrat list-MP Watchara Petchthong yesterday submitted a letter to Prime

Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha expressing his intention to donate his 3-month salary

amounting to 36,000 baht which he had received during May-July 2021from an ex-

parliamentarian fund set up by the Secretariat of the House of Representatives.

Watchara said the purpose of his donation is to contribute to the government’s

fund to procure Covid-19 vaccines. He also called for the Prime Minister, cabinet

ministers, members of the coalition parties, senators, all political office holders

and chairman of the state enterprises’ boards to donate part of their salaries to

help fight the crisis.

Pakdeeporn Sujaritkul, uncommon law wife of parliament Speaker Chuan Leekpai, on

her Instagram @manuj_mae, asked Chuan if he will continue to row the boat or steer the

boat to the river bank if he finds a hole in the boat. The boat may sink in a whirlpool.

Pakdeeporn, the mother of famous YouTuber Surabot ‘Pluem’ Leekpai, put up

such a post after reports that the opposition is preparing to file a motion of no-

confidence against the government while Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha

is facing mounting pressure from many groups for him to resign or dissolve the

parliament and calling on the Democrat Party to revise its stance as a coalition

partner.

However, Democrat Party leader Jurin Laksanawisit has come out to say that he

had not thought about the call.
