    yes and no. 
    Yes: my son collapsed in dep.store and we went to St. Louis Hospital. 5 days under dripper (basic solution nothing special). Every morning (6AM) strange student from local college came to take a blood sample. Why? Maybe study? cost 28.000 THB.
    He recovered himself.
    No: I didn't. It is your immune system that fights Dengue. You just sit and wait until its over. 

    PS: I saw a little girl in our kindergarten after Dengue - she lost so much weight that turn her into a shadow. Literally. So skinny!

    PPS: few years later I got it again. Same suffering and weakness, same change of taste.

    Vitamins don't do much. Its only your immune system fights it. And common sense to avoid places with stale water and pure luck.

    28,000 baht for blood test?

    Saw that in Chiang Mai Ram the other day. It's for a Dengue vaccine. Wonder if it works ? Anybody know something about it ?

    Doesn't work.  Or if it does just for a couple of months.   not recommended.  That what I get from reading the scientific papers. 

    The private hospitals are just offering it for the money or to get rid of old stock.

    The family could consider a cremation now and funeral of the ashes (I don't know the name of this) later, maybe months later.

     

    My parents died at Covid times, and I couldn't go there at that time. I didn't worry much about it. They were dead and my presence wouldn't make any difference. 

    The Will won't wait !

    No mention of a license in the article but for a tourist to drive any vehicle legally in Thailand you need a license from your home country and an international driving permit from that country. I believe most tourists don't have both and bike renters will be unlikely to tell you this legal requirement. Insurers will insist that you must be driving legally otherwise they may not pay out.

    Licenses from the United Kingdom do not need an international driving license however you need a motorbike license she's only licensed to drive anything under 50cc

    Process and requirements outlined in this thread.

     

    https://aseannow.com/topic/1308175-reentry-permit-at-chaengwattana-rd-bangkok-immigration/ 

     

    Reentry permits also available at airports. 

    Very easy process vs trip to CW.

     

    At airport they have a service of filling in form with photo  TM8 etc 200b

    I don't know why anybody would waste 2 hours going to a holiday resort to get a reentry permit when you can do it at the airport or any other immigration office in the country.

    Officially you have to go in person and are photographed. Not sure agents can help with this at CW.

    Does anyone know if someone else can do it instead of going in person, i.e can I send a representative with all the required documents and money to get it done instead of going myself?

    Use to do it without going in

    Alternately the description of how he was found would suggest murder?

    It's very common for suicide victims to tie their hands up.  The  number one suicide place in London is Parks and all the victims always tie up their hands before they put the straps around their neck so they don't struggle to remove the strap so it has nothing to do with murder.
