covid 19

[barrymac]

is it true  the hospitals are full in pattaya and if you have covid you can not get a bed and treatment

[Jeffr2]

Not that I'm aware of.  Had an emergency with a friend a few days ago.  BPH was open, but his condition required a specialist in Bangkok.  Bumrungrad was full as were several other hospitals in Bangkok.  I think Samitivej in Sri Racha was also full.

 

He had to wait in the emergency room at BPH for quite some time until a bed opened up at Bumrungrad.  They transferred him at that point.

register on the first symptoms and they will put you in hospitel (10 days from 30k).

if worsening at anytime, you will get hospital. You get ambulance transport to the nearest available one.

They are opening new wards with common rooms with 20-30 patients (closing down wards with geriatrics).

Also they are releasing the other patients with other conditions, to make space for covid wave

No true.  I know several who have the virus and all are doing home quarantines.  They were tested positive by a local hospital.

were they asymptomatic or mild symptoms? delta or omicron?

are they thai or foreigners?

have their own house/condo or rented hotel room? how many other in household?

what is their age and do they have underlying conditions? do they have insurance and how large?

that questions all to consider

Mild symptoms, not sure of the strain.  All have their own places.  With others in the household.

 

I know of perhaps up to 20 who have the virus now.  All except a few said it was mild.  A few said it was like a really bad case of the flu.

 

TBH, I was surprised they were told to quarantine at home.  One guy was with his kids and the hospital did go to check on them. 

 

I think the worry is if you arrive here and test positive, you'll have to pay for the quarantine.  It's a serious concern.
