    I am not sure whether you actually need to go to CW in person.

    >> I did PM you a step-by-step instruction on how to register on the IO TM-30 website and file your TM-30 on-line (either in lieu of your landlord, or as possessor of the place where you are staying).

    To access your PM-messages just click the letter-icon next to your Profile when logged-in to the Forum.

     

    The TM30 can be done online but the TM 27/28 needs to be done at the immigration so they can put the bottom part of the form in your passport

    At a private hospital, quite a biot - at least 350k is my best guess.

     

    At a government hospital nothing provided it is done at the hospital where the person is registered or one they refer to (they must refer if they are unable to provide the care needed and for pacemaker insertion most hospitals cannot, will usually need to be regional level or university hospital.  Still free with letter of referral from the hospital of registration.

    Thank you

    Can someone explain continued beach closures?

     

    this escapes me.......then again, if you give me 2 pencils, I’m busy for hours.

    Our beeches never closed but now only about 5% of people are wearing masks and still sitting in groups, in my province we have not had a case for over 40 days so most people think this is not a big problem now

    Thanks for responding. I'm still not fully getting how pneumonia deaths could be about 137 times as high as reported and no mounds of bodies or social media reports...but, can't be true of Covid 19 (that it's way, way higher than reported) or we would see the mounds of bodies and get the reports. Yes. There has been a lot of focus on Covid 19 lately. But, Thai people aren't completely ignorant of their loved ones dying by any cause and aren't completely ignorant of what pneumonia is...or so ignorant and in a different way the the same arguments would not apply.

     

    Confused.

    I have been thinking the PUI figures are those that had covid but did not have to stay in hospital and were sent home to self quarantine, and they are only quoting the people that was sick enough to require hospital treatment but that does not explain the low death rate

    Please do not read this as sarcastic but I am genuinely interested...

     

    Have you heard of any cases of pneumonia in your local area? Seems from one government source there have been several thousand deaths from pneumonia since the start of the calendar year though today they also said there were only 50. Would the lack of local stories, gossip, and social media posts about pneumonia deaths make you inclined to believe that there were actually only around 50 and not 7,000?

    I understand what you are trying to say but pneumonia is not talked about in the news as covid 19 is, I would think that not many Thais know what pneumonia is but I would think most know about covid

     

    Oh and they not have a tv station for pneumonia like they have for covid 19

    WELL we all know how this pandemic started  - by authoritarian regime trying

    hard to hide an outbreak.

    very dangerous game is been played in thailand.

    then numbers are funny and completly manipulated in accordance with the

    global lockdown and expected reopening.

    if it was up to the thai authorities, they would keep the economy open and

    would not care less about few thousand deaths, maybe it was the right thing

    to do.

    but don't believe a second to those numbers. insult to any intelligence.

    While I think that the figures supplied are not completely true there are now 49 provinces with no cases for more that 28 days, and I cannot understand why we have not heard about even 1 case in these provinces on social media or via Thai gossip

     

    In my province we have not had reported case foe 40 days and I have not heard of any here, but when we had 2 cases in Jan/Feb I heard about then a day or two before they were reported

    That the R506 source uses some other method for counting deaths due to pneumonia than the death certificates, and that the data there is what is in the graph.

     

    It also tells the same as the graph: the case count in 2020 was higher than 2019 in January and February. The drop since then might be because people aren't going to hospitals to be diagnosed because they are afraid of the covid. And it's unknown how long it takes to feed those stats to the system, could have a lag of months.

     

    Not really that useful info at all, but good to know that system exists as well.

    Thank you
