Thai health authorities confirmed a third death from swine flu after a naval recruit succumbed to the disease on Monday.
The death of the 21-year-old Royal Thai Navy conscript came as the number of confirmed cases of the A(H1N1) virus hit 1,330, a health ministry statement said.
Thailand's first death from swine flu was a 40-year-old woman in Bangkok who died Friday. A 42-year-old man from Chonburi province, 80 kilometres (50 miles) from the capital, died two days later.
Thailand reported its first case of swine flu on May 12.
The virus has infected nearly 60,000 worldwide and killed more than 260, according to the World Health Organisation.
