Delta sub-variants found in local samples
Four new sub-variants of the Delta strain of the novel coronavirus have been found in samples analysed by Ramathibodi Hospital.

The head of the hospital's Centre for Medical Genomics, Wasun Chatratita, said the sub-variants were detected in samples sent to the centre from several hospitals across Thailand.

Prof Dr Wasun said sub-variant AY.4 (B.1.617.2.4) was found in 3% of samples sent in from Pathum Thani, while AY.6 (B.1.617.2.6) was detected in 1% of samples from all over the country.

Meanwhile, sub-variants AY.10 (B.1.617.2.10) and AY.12 AY.12 (B.1.617.2.15) were found in 1% of samples sent in from Bangkok, he said.

To date, experts have identified over 60 possible mutations to the genetic make-up of the Delta strain. Of these, 22 are known to be responsible for the emergence of new sub-variants.

The first Delta sub-variants which have been verified, AY.1 and AY.2, were first discovered in Nepal.

These new guidelines below don't give me any confidence at all that they are on the threshold of relaxing restrictions.

The initiative sounds great until you think of the hoards being encouraged to travel to Bangkok for vaccination

Left and right hand comes to mind.

Yes, I was also willing to travel to Bangkok, although I was sorted locally. So I'm not criticising.

Thailand has now been added to the UK red list.
Just when we thought it would be possible to come back its back to square one.

I travelled out of Thailand just in time, having arrived in the UK today, otherwise I’d have had to quarantine in a hotel for 10 days
