As of March 17, 2024, Thailand had approximately 4.76 million confirmed COVID-19 cases. In that same period, there were 34,576 deaths from COVID-19 in the country.

Impact on the economy in Thailand The Thai economy was heavily impacted during the peak of the pandemic. Various restrictions were imposed in the country, resulting in businesses being temporarily interrupted or even permanently shut down. This resulted in a marked decrease in the gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020. One of the most impacted industries in Thailand was tourism. For months, Thailand had exercised regulations for visitors, such as quarantining, causing the tourism contribution to GDP to drop significantly.

Impact on the society in Thailand The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted the ways of life of Thai people. Apart from additional concerns for their health, Thai people had to adapt to changes in their daily lives. Some key changes include the increasing popularity of online shopping, cashless payments, online education, and even working from home. In January 2023, a survey conducted on online shopping behavior in Thailand suggested that the majority of Thais have shopped online more. Working from home also became the norm for many employees during the pandemic. For further information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, please visit our dedicated Facts and Figures page.

IntroductionThe arrival of COVID-19 vaccines in Thailand has supported the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among health care workers (HCWs) in Thailand before and after vaccines' availability and investigated factors (both enablers and barriers) affecting their decisions.MethodsTwo online self-administered questionnaires were distributed to HCWs in two time-periods: (1) the pre-vaccine arrival period (prior to COVID-19 vaccines' arrival in Thailand, January 28 to February 16, 2021); and (2) the post-vaccine arrival period (April 21 to May 9, 2021). Descriptive analyses and multinomial logistic regression were conducted to examine factors associated with vaccine hesitancy.ResultsThere were 55,068 respondents in the pre-vaccine arrival period and 27,319 respondents in the post-vaccine arrival period. In the pre-vaccine arrival period, 55.0% of respondents were willing to accept the vaccines, 35.4% were uncertain, and 9.6% declined. In the post-vaccine arrival period, ~16% already received two doses of either the Sinovac or AstraZeneca vaccine, and 43% were administered one dose. Approximately 12% of those who had received the first dose were uncertain or not willing to accept the second dose. Demographic and socio-demographic factors of participants, including their sex, place of residence, and whether they were frontline COVID-19 workers, were found to be the significant factors explaining vaccination hesitancy. Moreover, when comparing the pre-vaccine arrival and post-vaccine arrival periods, it was found that older HCWs were more likely to decline a COVID-19 vaccine in the pre-vaccine arrival period; on the other hand, older HCWs were less likely to decline or be uncertain to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in the post-vaccine arrival period.ConclusionInformation on HCWs' acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines, including who is more likely to accept the vaccines, could assist in planning vaccine allocation to both HCWs and the general public, who often believe HCWs' recommendations. This study's findings set out how policies can be addressed to reduce vaccine hesitancy. This study also highlights HCWs' characteristics (including gender, work region, occupation, and history of receiving influenza vaccination) and the reasons they cited for their vaccine acceptance or hesitance.

As of March 2022, about 34.5 percent of Thai respondents stated that they were rather concerned about the current COVID-19 pandemic in the country because they still had to travel for work and contact a large number of people. Meanwhile, approximately 22.2 percent of Thais were not concerned about the pandemic at all.

Easing phases, activities and risk scores for COVID-19 in Thailand.

According to a survey conducted from 24th to 26th March 2020, only 11 percent of the Thai respondents stated that they still visited food outlets or restaurants after the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic happened. Meanwhile, the same survey also revealed that more than half of the Thai respondents still visited grocery stores after the pandemic happened in the country.

The second round in 2020 of the Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA)/Cash-Based Intervention Post-Distribution (CBI PDM) Monitoring Household Survey was conducted in Thailand from October to November 2020. The RNA and PDM were designed as a phone-based survey targeting urban refugees and asylum seekers in Thailand to assess their needs and evaluate the effectiveness of the CBI program in light of COVID-19.

UNHCR Thailand and its partners work to ensure that the protection needs of urban refugees and asylum seekers are met during the COVID-19 pandemic. Having observed increased levels of vulnerability relating to restrictions on movement, loss of livelihood opportunities and access to healthcare, the RNA aims to strengthen the understanding of the situation, need and vulnerabilities of the forced displaced population. This survey focuses on COVID-19 knowledge, experience, behavior and norms, health, education, employment, and access to basic necessities. The findings aim to provide evidence to evaluate and design protection and programme interventions.

Since May 2016, UNHCR Thailand has been using multi-purpose CBI PDM to provide protection, assistance, and services to the most vulnerable refugees in the urban areas. The number of urban refugees approaching UNHCR for financial support has more than doubled since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. To ensure that UNHCR's multi-purpose CBI framework for urban refugees in Thailand is effective, the monitoring was conducted simultaneously with the RNA. PDM is a mechanism to collect and understand refugees' feedback on the quality, sufficiency, utilization, and effectiveness of the cash assistance. The findings of the PDM support the assessment of the impact of CBI for urban refugees in Thailand affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the appropriateness of funding levels, distribution modalities and the use of cash to support refugees.

As of March 2022, about 20.3 percent of respondents stated that the Thai government should reduce cost of living during the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Moreover, fast and convenient access to medical treatment was one of the suggestions for the government support during such time.

BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has imposed unprecedented suffering on social and individual levels worldwide. Vaccines against COVID-19 have been prioritized as a crucial strategy for ending the pandemic as well as minimizing its consequences.ObjectivesThis study aimed to determine the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine among high-risk urban populations in Southern Thailand using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior (COM-B) model.MethodsWe conducted a web-based cross-sectional study in the Hat Yai district, Songkhla province in Southern Thailand, in September and October 2021. The questionnaire was composed of sections on sociodemographic characteristics, COVID-19 vaccination status, and COM-B constructs. We employed a multivariable logistic regression analysis to determine factors associated with the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. We set statistical significance at p < 0.05.ResultsIn this study, females constituted 54.7% of the total participants (n = 358), and nearly half of the participants (45.8%) were in the younger age group (18–29). Of all the participants, 59.5% (95%CI: 54.2%-64.6%) received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Factors associated with the uptake of COVID-19 vaccine and their adjusted OR (95% CI) were being married: 3.59 (2.06–6.24), having a graduate degree: 2.34 (1.38–3.96), gainfully employed: 3.30 (1.91–5.67), having a high level of opportunity: 2.90 (1.48–5.66), and having a high level of motivation: 2.87 (1.17–17.08).ConclusionThe uptake of COVID-19 vaccines was moderate in this population. Moreover, the results showed that the COM-B model is useful in predicting COVID-19 vaccine uptake. The findings of this study could be used to aid future public health interventions in any event of outbreaks similar to COVID-19 disease in Thailand and beyond.
