Two points I would like to make here: It seems to have been forgotten that a Chinese Doctor in Wuhan who discovered the Covid virus reported it to the authorities who quickly admonished him and hushed it up. That Doctor later died from - Covid I think this can suggest that those Authorities is at least partly responsible for allowing Covid to leave their borders. Reparations or even accepting any responsibility? Good luck with that one! Secondly, as it relates to the USA, the first diagnosed case of Covid was of a woman from Wuhan but little was done to prevent the debacle over the next two years under the Trump administration.

If cost is a very important factor. then the house to which I refer is about B6,000 per month. It has aircon, only 5 kms from the city centre and in a fairly quiet area. The cancer hospital itself is in the countryside and other hospitals in Lampang centre can be recommended. Good luck with your quest.

Hello Mate, So sorry to hear of your situation and hope you can find somewhere suitable for your wife's chances of recovery and meanwhile enjoying some level of comfort. I have one idea I am in Lampang, close to a house I am aware of that is available at a very low rate and is only 6 kms from a dedicated cancer hospital. The house is very nice and spacious beside a lake and is fully equipped. If you think it would be possible to transfer your wife's treatment from Chiang Mai to Lampang that would be ideal.

The simple answer, is because it is neither a game or a sport!

If you have been bitten by a dog, there is a risk, so vaccination is necessary in my view. Going to any hospital for treatment, Doctors will recommend vaccination also. Nothing to do with anybody trying to sell you something!! I have been bitten twice in Thailand while out cycling, first in 2010 and next time 2018 Neither dog was a soi dog. The costs of treatment and the vaccinations were easily manageable - the injections - about ten in all - were not remotely painful for me and I can assure you I am a wimp when it comes to needles and seeing my own blood! Anti-Vaxxer? Prepare to accept the risk!

British Man, 27, Vanishes in Thailand Before Flight Home
ChrisKC replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
I am not sure if I am right but does a signal from his mobile phone indicate 100% that Simon was the one with it? -
Before deciding to retire to Thailand, I visited a few times, including staying for a month, twice (with my then English wife) and we did a lot of research! Having lived here for many years now, I am very surprised at how little we knew when we first landed here and staying for good and a for few years after that! I now live in a predominantly Thai environment with my Thai wife and I know for sure that I have been accepted by every Thai person I have met!

I am very happy here; I don't have any problems with Thai life. I am unaffected by most of the negative aspects highlighted by some on this topic. I DO care but they are outside of my control so there is nothing I can do to change them so don't complain about them and place myself under unnecessary stress . There is one thing that irritates me greatly and that in more than 20 years, I have seen no attempts by Government, The Ministry of Transport, the Police or Parents to do anything meaningful to reduce the risks of death and suffering from traffic accidents!

Realistically speaking, do you think Trump will last till November?
ChrisKC replied to watthong's topic in Political Soapbox
I hope he will last long enough before November to start a justified jail sentence. -
Are you offended at being called Old?
ChrisKC replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Being "old" or perceived as old will be a pre-requisite for some Thai women seeking a short term relationship with a happy ending - for her! I am being facetious!! When I am asked how old I am, I say in Thai, "ONLY 79" -
Have some new socks but I won't wear them in public

Have some new socks but I won't wear them in public
ChrisKC replied to ChrisKC's topic in General Topics
Another point about this little story is that my Thai wife didn't realise that the unfriendly message on the socks was very rude. I have seen Thai people wearing that message on T Shirts and I am sure they don't realise either! -

Are foreigners taken for granted in Thailand?
ChrisKC replied to bob smith's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It isn't any foreigner or any Thai - one example or even many hundreds cannot be generalised to everybody. When I read the title, I thought maybe this is from Bob, looking to denigrate all Thais and to infer all associated foreigners are gullible enough to fall for the ungrateful Thais. Also, I have noticed there isn't any "middle ground" with you - Nightmare or Paradise I have been in Thailand for more than 20 years and in a few different places and, while reading and hearing about some peoples experiences, I certainly do not deny there are those who take advantage and those who let them! Where I have lived for 7 years now, my life is 95% around Thai people and am satisfied that most of them are not of the characters you write about in your post! -
VP Kamala Harris Had 92-Percent Staff Turnover
ChrisKC replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
This current post is a metaphor for an ongoing rhetoric from unhinged Trump and now the Turncoat J D Vance, that suggests in due course an end (death) to the era of Trump and MAGA Just out of interest - when was USA great to which MAGA relates? -

VP Kamala Harris Had 92-Percent Staff Turnover
ChrisKC replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump has been digging his own grave for a long time now and already, his minion, JD Vance, has his shovel in hand to help him finish the job. -
VP Kamala Harris Had 92-Percent Staff Turnover
ChrisKC replied to KhunLA's topic in Political Soapbox
You claim there is a "written statement" you are (apparently) I am only the Messenger - don't shoot me! Go to this video on YouTube (there are others) "Very Scared Trump officially cancels debate with Kamala" It must be obvious that the contents of the written statement show the truth of the title. Given that, technically, Kamala hasn't become the nominee, all the signs are very much in her favour, except of course to Trump Supporters. -
