(Adds detail, background) By Ju-min Park and Tony Munroe SEOUL, June 19 (Reuters) - An outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in South Korea appears to have levelled off, a health official said on Friday, as the country reported just one new patient, a day after Thailand reported its first case. A total of 166 people have been infected in the South Korean outbreak, the largest outside Saudi Arabia. The Thai case, a 75-year-old businessman from Oman, does **t appear to be linked to the South Korean outbreak but will spread anxiety in the region, even though the worst appears over in South Korea.
