As you hint in the video, what additional “screening” can be done, either at domestic airports or when travelling by road?
Checking temperatures is next to useless except as a very general guide to numbers, with 80% asymptomatic, and lateral flow tests are little better with over half (51%) of what should be positive tests testing negative – if anything they’re counter-productive as they may give a false sense of being “negative”, encouraging people to relax their guard.
Maybe there’s other “screening” available?

Can you please investigate as to why for 40,000 for outpatient the patient has to pay first 100,000 baht deductable?
It is absurd and money grabbing attitude which discourages patients not to go to hospital despite of they are insured.
