As a side issue, I'd like to know what happens if you die in thailand and have no relatives. Friend (75) across the road has thyroid cancer I guess, pretty bad, obviously it will kill him at some point. He has 2 months rent deposit and is up to date. Who takes responsibility if he pops his clogs ? The owner ? Does she use her 2 months deposit to cremate him ? Who claims his body ? She is not a relative obviously.
