What I'll say about those links, and it may be different now, but I received zero response from wherever I tried. I guess the BIG QUESTION is, when were those links last updated. There were many pages offering a good service, but none did.

It does seem strange that the authorities in Thailand are raising their concerns about COVID, but doing very little in the way of making vaccines available to those that might need/want to take precautions?

It'll be down to cost (how many will respond to having to pay for the service), and short shelf life. A huge investment if nobody walks through the door for vaccination.

Just thinking logically (yes, I know TIT, so logic doesn't count for much), my cousins in the UK now receive an annual Covid/Flu booster. If Thailand has a market for Covid jabs again, wouldn't it make sense to obtain/provide the Covid/Flu booster for use here as well?

Logically yes, but as you’ve said, that doesn’t often apply here - I got my Covid and flu booster in the UK last October, but not sure whether I’ll do the same this year - I’ll decide at the time depending on what’s happening!!
