The 43 patients are in three different hospitals in Bangkok,
Samitivej Srinakarin hospital said in a statement.
At Samitivej Srinakarin hospital, where 34 of the patients are,
seven are in intensive care - three Australians, two Malaysians,
one British and one New Zealander, the statement said.
The other 27 patients from the flight at the hospital include
eight British, six Australian, five Malaysian, and two
Philippine citizens, the statement said.
Two people were discharged from Samitivej Srinakarin, while two
from Samitivej Sukhumvit hospital were transferred to Samitivej
Srinakarin to join hospitalised relatives, the statement said.
On Thursday, the Samitivej Srinakarin hospital director told
reporters 22 patients had spinal cord injuries and six had brain
and skull injuries, but none were life-threatening.
One passenger died of a suspected heart attack and dozens were
injured on Tuesday after Singapore Airline Flight SQ321, flying
from London to Singapore, encountered what the airline described
as sudden, extreme turbulence while flying over Myanmar.
The flight carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew diverted to
Bangkok for an emergency landing.
