Thais routinely take it every six months and it kills most gut parasites ( I don't want to be so bold as to say all ). As I said, it's nothing to do with personal hygiene, it's food supply. Pork in particular and the Thai habit of eating raw prawns are common factors. Every time I leave Thailand I take anti-parasite medication with me and use it when I return home. It's usually a three to five day course.

Finally, over the years I have continually stated: 1. There's no such thing as self-insurance. You are gambling - full stop. 2. NEVER ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE FIT ENOUGH TO FLY HOME FOR TREATMENT. 3. Always share your insurance details with someone in Thailand and your home country as you MAY NOT BE IN A FIT STATE TO CONDUCT YOUR AFFAIRS. this time I'll add one more - Get in the habit of using anti-parasite medication. One girl who was part of my general social circle was diagnosed with a brain worm, commonly associated with undercooked pork. Prawns and some fish types are also a source of worms. Your personal hygiene is not the issue, it's the food supply. I don't think they've got to the bottom of Eddy's infection yet and there was some suggestion it could have been a parasite. If you live in Thailand long term, go get the cleansing medication from the pharmacy. Better safe than sorry.

And before the thread descends into a bickering session. 1. He thought he had a stroke. 2. It turned out it was a brain infection. 3. Yes, he is insured. 4. And the insurance company are directing the treatment. It's been a real rollercoaster for Eddy and he did make a couple of mistakes along the way, but consider the fact he was ill before being harsh.

Some of you will be aware that YouTube vlogger Steady Eddy has been ill for a few weeks with a brain infection. He's due an operation this weekend and I wish him all the best, as no doubt many forum members will also. Also, all praise to Nick Dean for the support he has shown to Eddy.

ps - I forgot to mention it cost me £60,000 to put my daughter through a masters degree in Paris. Compared to that, £9,250 is cheap. -

I'm Scottish, it's free - and here you go. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.if.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/pensioner_millionaires_FINAL.pdf -
This is a ludicrous argument and you clearly haven't thought it through. Many people have been jailed as repairmen have discovered child sex abuse images on their laptops. The most famous example was Paul Gadd aka Gary Glitter, who spent a lot of time in Thailand. And you are suggesting that some type of doctor/patient confidentiality should come into play? I strongly suggest you engage your brain before posting. Read the link: https://www.eclecticblue.org.uk/remember-me-this-way/

Oh, look. The ramblings of a financial illiterate. By your reckoning if you don't have a million quid in the bank your not a millionaire? Grow up, man. Far too many of you seem to be deeply annoyed that your fellow Brits are doing well financially. Raging that people who followed basic financial advice by buying a house and funding a pension are well set. What is it, jealousy? Anyway, I confess to being wrong. The figure according to this report is not 20%. It's 27%. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.if.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/pensioner_millionaires_FINAL.pdf -

The pathetic ramblings of a brittle, lonely man. You'll need to rent a girlfriend as women don't like weak men. -

Scotland is free for four years. Fees are limited in England and Wales as mentioned. What was the point of your comment? Are you bored? -
Only 16. A mere 16. And clearly I learned far more in 16 than you did in 40 The OP should heed my warning. To make matters worse he appears to now be dealing with at least three families. The wrong person emerges and he?I'll find himself in a very difficult position. But maybe he should listen to the Internet tough guys here. Everyone that's lived in Thailand knows forv40 yesrsxrecommends that farangs should go head-to-head with connected Thai's. Isn't that right? Idiot.

Always listen to Internet hard men, they know how to deal with Thais. 🤣

So your defence is - "we allowed ourselves to be overrun so you can't blame us?" The only two countries in Europe that allowed this were England and France, chasing the tail end of the post-war industrial boom. They imported vast numbers of foreign labour then a few years later the mills and factories shut down. The same thing is being repeated, we are entering the Age of Robot where labour will not be required and we're importing the uneducated in vast numbers. -

I've seen this girl before, she's different class and this video doesn't begin to show her ability. By the way, if she take's one of her weapons to you. you're a dead man. I don't care how big and strong you are. Full name - Rayna Vallandingham -

I better explain why we're forked. When everything is based on race or religion, competency goes out the window. The colour of skin or religious belief is more important than actually - you know - doing a good job. Then the jobs for the boys start, the gravy train starts running at full stream, and jobs that don't exist in the real world start to appear on the public purse. If this sounds like the rants of a white supremacist, I suggest you look at the South African election result this weekend as former ANC voters are heartily sick of having the p*ss taken out of them. And just like Mugabe, you've got next to no chance of pulling corrupt ANC officials of the golden tit. And what happens then? the basic job of governance collapses as we see people in positions of power who are not only useless, but know it and don't care. Like this idiot. Do you know what Robinson really wants? His bins emptied, a chance of seeing his GP within two weeks, and for wee lassies to grow up without being r*ped. Don't we all? -

You may be unaware that many of the child victims of these grooming gangs were sent to Scotland for protection and rehabilitation. English local authorities were paying Scottish social work departments as much as £3000 a week to support these kids. The financial bill is astronomical. The root of this is the playbook. The 5% rule. As soon as a group gains 5% influence they are in a position to group vote representatives into power. Once they are in power they set out to run their agenda. American readers will be familiar with the infamous Tammany Hall Irish bloc vote. It's not just a Muslim stunt. all immigrant groups congregate then start to gain influence. Make no mistake that the race agenda in the country coincided with certain areas having bloc votes based upon religion and colour. 1987 saw Diane Abbot elected, for example, and that was the start of race infecting everything. This very day she is national news again and is using her race as a shield. No white politician could put up a performance as truly dreadful as hers and expect to remain in position. When the 5% becomes 10%, we're forked. -

Correct. And may I point out another difference. It's long been known that the paramilitary organisations and police had a close relationship. What many of you don't know is that here in Scotland - and this is a fact - the police will approach people of ability to short-circuit justice. It's called good policing. I refuse to believe that it doesn't happen in England too - there are far too many well-known stories of English police interacting with gangsters and not only for enrichment reasons. The difference with the grooming gangs was the racist aspect, they - and the entire civic structure of English governance with a few heroic individual exceptions - abandoned ship. It was and still is a national disgrace. -

Yes it's racist. Do you think the IRA would have turned a blind eye to these groomer gangs. Or the UVF, the UDA, Red Hand Commando? Do you think Scottish and Irish gangsters would have turned a blind eye? Here's the bottom line. The English ponied it. And that includes your "gangsters." -

I'm going to be controversial and the English coterie among my friends have discussed this. Why was there no grooming gang scandal in Scotland or Ireland? Why did the only attempted terrorist attack in Scotland result in a majestic calamity for the perpetrators? Why has there never been a similar attack in Ireland? Why did 40 people stand and watch the killers of Lee Evans peacock around the street for 20 minutes? Do you think 40 Scots or Irish would have done that? This goes back to Harold Wilson and Denis Healy mid-60's and has continued since. The English have crapped it and ran from their major cities. You have literally surrendered London, Bradford and others. And here's the difference. The Scots and Irish would have taken the groomers away early doors. We look on with utter amazement at what the English have allowed. Why did I mention Wilson? He knew that Scotland would kick off due to The Troubles. He feared that. He did not fear the English kicking off as you don't have the societal bond of the Celts. Hundreds of years of religious war prepped a certain psychology. -

Robinson is powerless. The government knows who to fear. Keep your eye on the entire island of Ireland. The experienced among you would never thought you'd have seen this in Dublin. -
Oh look, a troll. First post on the forum is this targeted, demented drivel. Let me answer, and it's not directed at you are you are not worthy. Three years ago one of my pals was deported on trumped up charges after crossing swords with an influential Thai. Beware the velvet dagger.

The interesting thing is that you think you are being clever with your replies. With a fire of a thousand burning suns you are convinced you are correct. Good for you. I wish you good luck in suggesting to an influential Thai that their son is a sexual predator. You'll soon find out where you rank in this society.
