Daily News reported that Thailand's netizens were having a feeding frenzy after Thailand's DPM and Health Minister - the much criticized Anutin Charnvirakul - was denied entry to Switzerland to attend an important World Health Organization meeting. 

 

The minister - who started the pandemic calling foreigners "dirty", continued with various protocol breaches and tame denials and presided over the early debacle of slow vaccination now has a country ban on his CV.

 

The minister was one of the first to get a Sinovac jab at the end of February in a much publicized PR stunt with PM Prayuth Chan-ocha to persuade the public about vaccines like Sinovac before locally produced Astra Zeneca vaxes were ready in June.

 

The Swiss authorities deemed that two doses of Sinovac and one booster with AZ were enough to bar the minister. 

 

Anutin spent yesterday bigging up his role in the pandemic and waxing lyrical about how Thailand had the options of many different vaccines to fight different strains during the pandemic.

 

But he was forced to admit that he couldn't go to Europe until he got a fourth booster shot and that this will have to be an option for others who needed to travel for business and leisure purposes. 

 

Daily News published examples of netizens poking jibes at the minister amid a plethora of "5555's" - hahahaha's in the Thai language.

 

One suggested ironically that the minister might send a construction worker in his place.

 

While another just went with "Som" - short for the phrase "som naam na" or 'serves you right'.
