You must have heard of her, she helped us British Expats during the Covidv19 pandemic. Well that's what the medal's for. I can't recall any help the Embassy provided me other than a link to apply for a number to get vaccinated.

For all five inoculations against covid-19 I had I first of all have to thank the Thai Government as they were free of charge. In part because I had reached a certain age, later because I've got a workpermit. I don't remember who told me about the first one but in these things I know you'd better keep your eyes open and so some checking yourself. Various FB entries were very helpfull. Also local support groups like the BM.  |

I think it was the rural expats that gave them a wake up call. We know the Embassy serves the interests of the British Government, we're a distant 2nd place consideration |

Its highly amusing to see the deputy at the British Chamber of Commerce receive this gong...her name is Phenix btw.
Given we offered a 24 hr service treating potential death as a mere sideshow at the critical end of the pandemic I expect I'll be receiving my knighthood shortly.
With much hilarity are such gongs delivered to pen pushing administrators...who no doubt feel their contributions to be stellar.
Mirth and disgust all wound up together like a pint of flat ale in a Spoons pub.
