Doc yes I have or I wouldn't have mentioned it.
Oct 15th "Another Cambodian has succumbed to the COVID-19 virus in Thailand. This is out of the 112 new fatalities, whose ages ranged from three months to 93 years old including four Myanmar nationals. The three-month-old baby had not a chronic disease"
Yesterday "Out of Thailand’s  82 new fatalities reported yesterday, many  between the ages of 17 and 92.

They included a Cambodian, three Myanmar nationals, a Belgian and a Russian."
"Another Cambodian national died from COVID-19 complications in Thailand.

Last week:
"A Cambodian was among three foreign nationals who were declared to have died from the virus in Thailand, the other two being Myanmar nationals."
Do you want me to go on Doc or can you take it from there?

The fact that "another Cambodian dies", a human with family and friends is of little significance compared to keeping the numbers down. And you think there is a coordinated intent to add those people to the list of Covid deaths to manipulate the opening of Cambodia to pre-Covid tourism and business operations? OK, let me think about that one.

I guess you missed this headline in the KT today?

15th consecutive day of ‘new normal’ low cases for Cambodia as The Kingdom looks towards ‘reopening’

So no I'm not aware because I haven't read the KT today as of yet. So pray tell what has "another normal day" have to do with articles in the KT on Cambodian Covid-19 deaths in Thailand? A bit of a stretch isn't it?
Another "normal day is 267+25 today. The "normal day" yesterday was 265+26. The "normal day" two days ago was 268+25. Sure it's "normal" compared to a month ago when there were 650+ cases a day so exactly what's your point other than trying to be a butt head?

Personally I think assuming the Cambodian government is counting deaths abroad so Cambodia won't open up is a bit of a stretch.

AFAIK other articles in the KT plus what happens in reality (reducing quarantine for vaxxed people) are showing quite the opposite direction from the Cambodian government.

Yes, please do go on.

I only found 3 articles in the Khmer Times about Cambodians dying in Thailand, one yesterday, Aug 15th and July 28th. However, you did say you read it "every day".

So be a good chap and let me have a few links to all the articles you've been reading everyday that I have missed.

Thanks in advance...

Kammekor, my original topic was more of a query than an accusation. You seem to have forgotten or lost the plot! My query still remains the same. Why? The KT doesn't run articles on Thai's that die in Cambodia from C19 and I'm sure there are some and I doubt the BKK Post doesn't run articles on Thai's that die here either!

Cambodia swa: FYI the chances of catching Covid in Cambodia are .73%. The chances of dying if you're infected are 2.28%. In 2019 1,950 people died in traffic accidents in one year. As of today after 19 months 2,634 people have died from C19. Do the math!
