Bangkok Airports to Serve as COVID-19 Field Hospitals 13 hours ago Thailand Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob said this weekend that the arrangement for another 7,000 beds was being made due to the current coronavirus situation in the form of COVID-19 field hospitals, as a large number of patients are waiting for treatment. Suvarnabhumi Airport alone will be able to accommodate over 3 times as many patients as Bussarakham Hospital. Japan has stepped in with 1.5 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccinations to help Thailand in its battle against COVID-19. The unused areas of Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports will both be used for the setting up of field hospitals.
