Thailand DPM and health minister Anutin Charnvirakul told Daily News that he was in discussion with "many countries" to form so-called travel bubbles of vaccinated tourists.
But he would not say who those countries are.
It would not be right, he said, as agreements had not yet been finalized.
Anutin and assistant at the MoPH Sathit Pitutecha and other officials were at an event getting their second doses of Covid-19 VAX.
Daily News said no one showed any symptoms in the 30 minute monitoring period.
Anutin said that having had two doses people would be able to use the evidence to move around along the lines of the "Vaccine Passport". He flashed what has been shown to be an old document.
You can take it with you everywhere, he said.
Though he was at pains to point out that being vaccinated did not necessarily mean you coundn't get the virus just that serious consequences were much reduced.
He played down the large numbers of detainees at immigration who contracted the virus saying that they would be treated at a field hospital.
They were not new clusters, he maintained.
In other news 800,000 doses of vaccine will go into the arms of people in risky areas, tourism places and those of front line health care personnel in the coming weeks.
This will take place in 22 provinces initially though Bangkok, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon and Mae Sot district of Tak will continue to be prioritized.
