The vaccine did not cause the princess's coma nor was it banned by the government of Thailand. While the princess did fall into a coma, factcheck.org reported that according to the Thai Royale Palace, the coma was "due to a severe arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, caused by heart inflammation following a mycoplasma infection.". The vaccine was also not banned in Thailand as there is a Facebook post from the official Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health account. The post reads, "Thailand was the first country to void the contract with Pfizer. Along with calling for funds of more than a billion baht that have been used to buy mRNA vaccines (fraud) to pay back the Thai people who died.

Department of Disease Control, Ministry of Public Health has conducted a fact check found that such issues false information".

The Thailand Princess did fall into a coma but not due to the vaccine and instead due to heart conditions. Even the Thailand Department for Disease came out to say it is fake news that they banned the vaccine. Therefore this claim is fake news.

The Thailand princess fell into a coma due to an irregular heartbeat as a result of a mycoplasma infection. According to the Berkshire Eagle, "Many of the users link to comments recently made in an online interview by Sucharit Bhakdi, a retired microbiology professor and vocal opponent of COVID vaccines." Within his interview, Bhakdi stated that Thai officials were considering the nullification of their contract with Pfizer, however the Thai government has disputed this and is asking the public to not spread this information.
