webfact Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 A second field hospital, to accommodate COVID-19 patients from Bangkok’s Klong Toey slum area, is being planned, with an old building next to the Port Authority head office as the first choice of location. After conversion, the former warehouse would be able to accommodate 200 patients. Being an old structure, however, the warehouse may not be suitable, due to the level of dust and poor ventilation, so Saphan Temple, in Phra Khanong district, adjacent to Klong Toey, which can accommodate an additional 200 patients, is the backup location. The first 200 bed community isolation facility in Klong Toey district was opened there last Friday, to separate those infected with COVID-19 from others in their crowded community, before being transferred to hospital.

Popular Post Excel Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 That doesn't look fit to be a cattle shed let alone a hospital. Speaks volumes for what the Government/Army/others thinks about normal Thais in this country 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Boomer6969 Posted May 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 Seems that the Thai army doesn't want to chip in. Lumpini park isn't far away, there is also the new green zone the develop. Set up some tents, it will be a lot safer and humane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berybert Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 That place is where Port futsal club play and also the Thailand national team often train. I spend about 2 hours in there 3 or 4 times a month and must lose several pounds each time because it is so hot inside. If you were to spend two weeks in there as a Covid patient with no symptoms there is every chance you would be as sick as a pig by the time you left.

They would have to bring in portable units I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah really inviting, I wonder how many are sticking around to be found positive and get a two week stay in something that resembles a milking shed.
