It really is beginning to look as if Thailand has made a major miscalculation with it's vaccination plans, not only with ongoing outbreaks but also with travel restrictions possibly placed on the Country by others.
Thailand, as we all know, has taken it for granted that 1000's of tourists will be queueing to visit as soon as Thailand gives the green light for them to do so.
But if the UK's plans for opening up access to Countries its citizens can safely visit for a holiday becomes the norm, then Thailand is in big trouble (I have only copied parts of the article relevant to Brits travelling abroad):

Popular holiday destinations could be opened up to British travellers at the end of June under a government plan to ease restrictions in time for the peak summer season.
Ministers are expected to allow quarantine-free travel from May 17 to a small number of “green-listed” countries that have a high level of vaccinations. People returning from “amber” and “red” countries would still need to go into quarantine on their return.
The government has said that it will review the plan on June 28, when the rules on testing and quarantine could be relaxed for amber countries. These could include popular European destinations such as Spain, Italy and Greece.
Ministers are due to confirm the list of which countries will fall into which of the three categories early next month.
To the dismay of the travel industry, the government is also due to insist today that it is still too early to book overseas travel, instead urging people to wait until further details are released next month.
It is probable that quarantine-free travel will initially be reserved for a handful of countries with the highest vaccination rates, such as Israel, the US, Malta and parts of the Caribbean.
The government is understood to be considering prioritising travel to countries where 50 per cent of adults have had at least one coronavirus vaccination. That would initially limit travel to a small number of foreign destinations.
Other factors will also be considered, including countries’ infection rates and their capacity for genomic testing to detect mutant strains.
Paul Charles, founder of the PC Agency, a travel consultantcy, said: “Green countries are green for a reason, with lower virus and higher vaccination rates. Any testing for people travelling to and from the UK has to be minimal.”
