Thai Enquirer Summary
Covid-19 News
The Public Health Ministry has come under fire from the opposition Pheu Thai Party following reports that a 5 milli meter vial of the AstraZeneca vaccine has now been extended to 12 doses. The party claimed that health officials have been instructed by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to offer 12 doses, instead of 10 as per the dosage requirement stipulated on each bottle of the vaccine.
A 5-ml vial of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine contains 10 doses, according to the label. Pheu Thai Party deputy spokesman Chanin Rungthanakiet has come out to reveal Anutin’s order to health officials in each province and provincial governor to extend the capacity of doses in a 5-ml vial to 12 doses before AstraZeneca vaccines produced in Thailand will be ready for delivery to the government by June.
Chanin said he believed that Anutin wants to help the government to cut costs and boost distribution of AstraZeneca vaccines among Thai people.
In response, Dr Opas Karnkawingpong, director-general of the Department of Disease Control under the Public Health Ministry, has come out to say that a vial of AstraZeneca vaccine is allowed 12 doses because the AstraZeneca
manufacturer has offered an excess of 20-30 per cent in a vial. That means instead of 5.5 ml in 1 vial, the manufacturer offered a bonus of 6.5 ml in 1 vial. Therefore, 1 vial of Astrazeneca vaccine has up to 12 doses.
Chanin called for the manufacturer of AstraZeneca vaccines to come out to explain possible ramifications from Anutin’s order.

Political News
Today the ‘Emergency Decree’ that has been in place for more than a year on the pretext of ‘controlling’ the spread of Covid-19, is set to be proposed to be extended.
The degree is set to expire on May 31st and the decision is set to extended by another 1-month or at most 2-months (until July 31st).
Tomorrow marks the 7th anniversary of the May 22, 2014 coup against the government of former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
The coup of May 22, 2014 was supposed to be a short lived coup but the then army chief – Prayut Chan-o-cha continues to remain in power until today.
His key people – Prawit Wongsuwon, the man who borrowed million dollar watches from his dead friends, yesterday said that the government is not bored as it has been in power only for 2-years (elections of 2019).
. To mark the anniversary of the coup a new hashtag is happening and small gatherings are happening all around the United States and other parts of the world by people of Thai origin.
.
The opposition has threatened to reject a draft budget bill for the 2022 fiscal year of 3.1 trillion baht and boycott a draft executive decree authorising the government to borrow an additional 700 billion baht in fears of the government side’s attempt to seek political gains.
Wisarn Techatheerawat, the Pheu Thai MP for Chiang Rai, said the opposition parties have come to an agreement that they would not accept in principle the budget bill for the next fiscal year scheduled for its 1st reading in the House of Representatives from May 31–June 2, citing that the proposed spending plan is irrelevant to the country’s crisis.
Wisarn also disapprove of the cabinet’s approval for an executive decree to allow the government to seek an additional 700 billion baht loan in a secretive manner. He said the 1st batch of loan worth 1.9 trillion baht did not help the country reel back from the crisis while he suspected that some budgets have been used to help the coalition parties boost their voter bases. He feared that the government will appropriate 700 billion baht loans for political gain.
Digital Economy and Society (DES) Minister Chaiwut Thanakhamanusorn is pushing to amend laws to thwart fake news and illicit content.
The DES Minister is said to set up a new committee to follow up on related laws to tackle fake news. The Minister hinted at the possibility of combining the emergency decree with the computer crime law to block all illicit webpages and content on social platforms.
He said Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha instructed all government agencies during a cabinet meeting to monitor improper and illicit content has spread through social media platforms and report back to him every 3 months.
Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha told Japanese media yesterday during his speech, at Nikkei’s Future of Asia conference held in Tokyo and online that the local epidemic in Thailand is under control despite the worrisome numbers.
He said the situation has shown a good sign since the infection rate is not increasing but stabilizing.
He has called on global leaders to allow Covid-19 vaccines to flow freely — rather than using them as political or diplomatic tools — and to cooperate on measures to restore travel as he put it:
“Given the government’s economic measures and inoculation plans, we believe that economic activities can resume, and Thailand can fully open the country,” Gen Prayut said.
One day after Bhumjai Thai Party MP and spokesman Paradorn Prissananantakul criticised Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha for his move to cancel walk-in vaccination services, Paradorn has come out to say he did not take aim at Gen Prayut but said his Facebook comment is to attack the “Mor Prom” (Doctor Ready) Line Application that has some sort of dysfunction.
Paradorn then said he chose to criticise the system on his Facebook, instead of direct communications with the coalition government to avoid creating an impression that a conflict is rife in the coalition.
He admitted that he was contacted by Bhumjai Thai Party senior members after his Facebook comments went viral. Paradorn said he was told by the party’s senior members to soften his tone.
A report said Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, as the Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) leader, said he saw Paradorn’s Facebook comment but he had no opinions. He asked the Bhumjai Thai MP to rethink if his comment is appropriate because Bhumjai Thai is a coalition party. However, Paradorn’s Facebook comment is not a reflection of conflicts inside the coalition government. He perceived the issue as a personal comment, Gen Prawit said.
Gen Prawit also said the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) is the unit tasked with the vaccine distribution plan.
Former deputy transport minister Thaworn Senneam and former digital economy and society (DES) minister Buddhipongse Punnakanta gained assets after joining the cabinet while former education minister Nataphol Teepsuwan was almost 200 million poorer, according to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).
The NACC yesterday published the declared assets and liabilities of three former ministers following their exit from the cabinet in late February.
Thaworn reported 127 million baht worth of assets and 30 million baht worth of debts upon leaving the post. Before assuming the cabinet post, he and his wife reported 124 million baht worth of assets and 25 million baht worth of debts.
Buddhipongse declared 203 million baht worth of assets and debts of 410,000 baht to the NACC when he left the post. He reported 194 million baht worth of assets and 1.3 million baht debts upon taking office.
Nataphol reported assets worth 1.98 billion baht and debts worth 122 million baht, compared to assets worth 2.11 billion and debts of 130 million baht declared to the NACC when joining the cabinet.
Amnesty International Thailand set up 41 mannequins at a Bangkok shrine on Thursday in a protest against what it said were politically motivated charges against children. Each of the child-sized mannequins in front of Mae Thorani Shrine in Phra Nakhon district carried a sign displaying the age and charges filed against a minor for taking part in pro- democracy protests.
“From our documentation and observation, at least 41 children under 18 years old have been charged in 37 cases for involvement in public assemblies and expressing their views,” Amnesty International (AI) Thailand’s director Piyanuch
Khotsarn said. Of these, five individuals in six cases, including a 14-year-old child, are facing charges of lese majeste charge and other serious criminal offences.
He added that this was the first time children had been charged with lese majeste (royal insult) under Article 112 of the Criminal Code.

Economic News
The Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) reported that new vehicle production in April was 104,335 units, up 322.30 per cent year-on-year but down 35.79 per cent from March this year. The rise in April production is due to a resumption of production after lockdowns imposed in the beginning of 2020 were lifted.
Domestic car sales surged 93.07 per cent in April from a year earlier to 58,132 vehicles, coming off a very low base last year when the country was in a full lockdown.
Sales rose 25.47 per cent year-on-year to 74,295 cars in March, a month before a 3rd wave of coronavirus infections started, the FTI reported.
The 3rd wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has dampened vehicle sales at the latest Motor Show, prompting the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) to delay its new car production target this year.
Surapong Paisitpatanapong, vice-chairman and spokesman of the FTI’s automotive club, said the latest Motor Show took total bookings of around 27,800 units while more than 30 per cent of bookings to receive vehicles have been cancelled, compared with 5-6 per cent in normal circumstances, Surapong said, citing factors like financial instability and the rejection rate for auto loans which has rocketed to 20-30 per cent, compared with normal circumstances.
The FTI will wait 2 months to examine the impact of the global semiconductor shortage and 3rd of the pandemic in Thailand before setting its car production target.
Earlier, the FTI expected the total volumes of cars sold to reach 1.5 million units with half exported in 2021. The 2 factors are decreasing the total volumes of cars sold, which was expected to reach 1.5 million units with half exported in 2021.
Social media users have shared a video clip of Surapong Laoha-unya, CEO of Bangkok Mass Transit System Plc (BTSC), as the operator of the BTS skytrain, asking for the government to repay its overdue debt to the company. The clip was displayed on an advertising screen installed on BTS Skytrain.
BTSC asked the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) to pay it back around 30 billion baht in outstanding debt incurred from running the Green Line extensions from the Bearing-Samut Prakan and Mor Chit-Saphan Mai-Khu Kot sections.
The message on the screen read the BMA and Krungthep Thanakom owed more than 10 billion baht for hiring the company to operate the Green Line extensions and 20 billion baht for the installation of the train system (electric and machines) for the Green Lines.
The company has resorted to all channels to provide services to the public. We are appealing to Prime Minister Gen Prayut to address this problem.
Bangkok Bank chief economist Burin Adulwattana has come out to warn that Thailand’s household debt that is ballooning to a new high is a ticking time bomb.
Burin forecast that Thailand’s household debt could rise to a new record of 92 per cent in the 1st quarter of this year, from 89.3 per cent of GDP in the 4th quarter of 2020.
On top of Thailand’s economic woes, the Bangkok Bank chief economist predicted that Thailand’s economic growth could stand at 1-2 per cent or less if the government fails to administer vaccines to create herd immunity as planned. This aspect will send debt problems among families at the grassroots level to worsen.
The resurgence of Covid-19 infections in the 3rd wave has sent Central Retail Corporation Plc (CRC) to slash its revenue growth target for 2021.
CRC decided to cut its 2021 revenue growth target to 10 per cent, from 10-12 per cent from that of 2020 at 194.311 billion baht, says Chief Executive Officer Yol Phokasub.
Yol hinted at the possibility of cutting investment budget by 10-15 per cent from 16-18 billion baht. CRC already postpone new investment projects in 2022 which are Robinson Department Store in Phuket, the rebranding of Robinson Chon Buri to Central Mall and the opening of GO!Mall in Vietnam.
In the 1st quarter of this year, CRC posted total revenue of 49.031 billion baht, down 9.7 per cent year-on-year, with a net profit of 459 million baht, down 48.4 per cent YoY.
As usual the summer season also means that the prices of eggs rise and this time the rise has been a little more painful to the consumers as they are holed up in their houses and eating a lot more eggs than usual.
Egg prices have risen by 0.60 baht or 26 per cent in the last 45-days
