Thailand still faced both old and new infections in the passing 2023. Significant new cases of Covid infection still appeared but the severity had declined. The HIV infection and the Monkeypox outbreak continued spreading and seemed related as co-morbidities. Dengue fever caused deaths as every year before. Melioidosis, prevalent in Northeastern Thailand, sharply rose. Thailand underscored in elimination of tuberculosis and AI was introduced to overcome the shortage of radiologists in interpretation of screening chest radiographs in at-risk people. The Royal College of Radiologists of Thailand guided and promoted the proper use of AI in triaging purpose. Significant cases with meningitis caused by Streptococcus suis were reported.
