  1. I was i Thailand in 2013.  In the last week of my holiday I lost the use of my left leg for no reason.  I went to hospital and nothing could be found.  In the following week the symptoms got worse with pains in my back and arms. and I lost the use of my right hand.   I went back to hospital and still was told nothing could be found to be wrong;.  I was given a pain killing injection at a cost of 3000 Baht.  It made no difference to the pain.  I managed to get a flight back home the following day to the UK.  By the time I arrived I could not walk and got assistance to the train station.  The following day I was taken to a UK hospital were various tents were made with no visible results.  After two weeks in hospital It was confirmed I had Guillain Barre Syndrome an autoimmune disease,  A very rare disease.  I would say from my own experience this man has the same complaint and needs treatment.   He may need a long treatment but is in most cases, curable although may be left with some disability.  A message to his wife tell the doctors to look at  Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS)

  2. I remember 25 years ago in a bar in Hong Kong with a friend.  When my fried stuck up a conversation with an older working  women.  He told her he lost his cheery at The Bottoms Up Club, with a young lady  just after the 2nd world war and her name was ruby.  The older lady replied my name is Ruby and I was working just after the war at that club, Still working 61 years later.

    When I return from the UK I'm normally on a late flight so I stay over in Bangkok and have a night out.  On a recent trip I bumped into a bloke I've known for a few years. Sitting in a bar opposite Big Dogs & Morning night I commented that the girls were older and uglier than I remembered them to be 20 years ago. To which my mate commented 'Yeah, its the same girls"........🤣

     

  4. I have a Thai friend with duel nationality.  Thai and Vanuatu.  She owns property in the UK with a long time partner and spends 6 months in the UK and 6 months in Thailand.  She is unable to travel to the UK on her Thai, passport without a visa but was able to travel on her Vanuatu 60 visa free country passport.  However since last year 2022 the British Government now state she will need a visa to enter on her  Vanuatu passport.  My question is with her long term partnership and property in the UK would she have a problem getting a visa form the British Embassy in Thailand to travel to the UK for 6 months.?
