cormanr7 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 So lots of people want to know what the number of tests/day is. A bit of research leads to https://github.com/djay/covidthailand#testing where we find the PCR tests/day. These in turn come from https://www3.dmsc.moph.go.th. So for the last two weeks (data updated to Oct. 2nd) we get the following (see table). More interesting data on the latter site with details of the accredited labs for COVID PCR-tests (now more than 350 though on some days they manage less than 30,000 tests !). Now the fun starts: the number of positive tests is a lot lower than the officially reported number of confirmed cases. This trend started roughly mid July and early September the number of positives was some 33% lower than the confirmed cases (see figs). The github site has a few pages on the possible reasons for the discrepancy which you can read yourself but there is no clear answer. I did note that some of the accredited hospitals potentially use pooled samples which in theory allow detection of more than one case per PCR test. Looking at the table another unexpected observation: the number of tests/day varies by a factor of almost two, yet the positive rate is in a narrow range (15-18%). Unfortunately there seems to be little explanation on the moph site what the data actually represent it is just given as 'date/positive/tests'. There are loads of other data on the github site. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to disagree with you as it is a jumping off place to head to many places and does quite well with tourism. Many places to see and things to do before jumping off to the islands Koh Chang, Koh Poda, and Koh Kut, as well as having several of the border crossings with Cambodia. Ergo why they probably are worried about cases expanding. It is not that far from Bangkok, Pattaya or Ang Thong Chantaburi has had 11,664 Covid cases so far during the Covid pandemic, and with 264 cases reported yesterday has a reason to tighten up things in their view.

Anyone i know who has been a long term visitor to Thailand, is just going to give the place a wide berth. What happens when the packed gogo's of Nana Plaza and LK Metro get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only attraction I recall was some temple up some ruddy great exhausting hill, very difficult to get to and the type of thing off my list these days..... hardly doing much to worry Phuket and Samui. I guess high numbers of Covid are due to the border proximity.... yes I have used those too, but I hardly even knew which Thai province I was in to simply get my passport stamped again.

No surprise there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Now lets wait and see if they are moved down to Level 3 for the US instead of being at Level 4, which will make it more amenable for folks to travel here. However, the current restrictions on quarantine will still pose a problem for many folks as 1 week in quarantine, be it a Sandbox or not for vaccinated folks and the multiple testing via PCR will still keep people from coming if they only have a 2 week vacation. However, the caveat here is that the sandbox destinations need to be laid out for all to see so they can decide if it is affordable for them, if the locations are amenable to local travel without a guide and so on.
