The crew of HTMS Chakri Naruebet have tested negative for Covid-19 after two other sailors from the country's only aircraft carrier were earlier found infected with the virus following a visit to a beer garden.
Navy spokesman RrAdm Chettha Jaipiem said yesterday that tests on 210 crew members quarantined in the reception building at Sattahip naval base in Chon Buri, and 60 others still on the ship, showed they were not infected.
They must still complete a 14-day quarantine, he said.
The mass testing was carried out after two of 11 sailors from the ship who went to Pah Daeng beer house in Sattahip district were later found to have been infected.
The date of the visit was not released, but the navy announced the infections on Monday. The same day, 270 other members of the crew were quarantined.
The two infected sailors were admitted to Queen Sirikit Naval Hospital.
Another 33 crew members were ordered to isolate at home as they had no contact with the infected men, and another 16 were not on duty at the time, RrAdm Chettha said.
