starky

As far as thai smile goes everything back to normal with food and drink service to UTH. Masks are still the norm.

Heaps in udon but not everywhere definitely not all 7/11s . Bars is a lucky dip. If you want cases go to the bigger Thai style "bottle shops" they will sell by the case.

Who’s being a hero, this OP is about the Vietnamese girl, not about the others, the others are in all the other thread on this fire, there are multiple ops on it. the topic of this OP is clearly on the first page.

All the other threads? This is the only one in the first 3 pages of this forum. None of them mention the Thais who were hurt at all and mostly concern Sia B. Don't extract the urine mate.

 As I said feel free to go through all these "multiple" threads and name just one of the Thai nationals that got stuck at Sirikit.

Used to be horse races at Udon every week not sure if it has restarted since covid. More ponies than horses but a fun day out.

No you didn't, you clearly said this:

 

 My sympathies for the other Thai's who were caught up in this tragic affair, whose lives came to an end and for those who will carry on suffering for the rest of their lives are already expressed in the other OP's but here, just did it again for you. Moving on and back to this OP

 

nong kim who will suffer for the rest of her life and have a heavy hospital bill on top. Something the other Thai's luckily do not have. While she should have had insurance that fact is this was criminal negligence at the very least and the very least that should happen is for her to not only be reimbursed but additionally have compensation from the club owners, as should everyone involved, not the measly amount being banded about at the moment. A total disgrace but that's already been covered well in the previous 9 pages.

Yes you speak of nong Kim like you have some massive connection. You should tear a pocket. The only reason nong Kim has a massive hospital bill is because her friend moved her from Sirikit to a PRIVATE hospital.

Check my post history on my posts for the tragic deaths of the Thai's in the 5 other previous OP's on the matter

Yep done that I'm saying where is your concern for the Thais that didn't get the luxury of being moved to a private hospital?

There will be another news story next week and this bird will matter just as much to you as she does to me. 

 I love all this false concern. Why don't you pull some money out your bank and cover her bill if you care so much. Be a white knight get her removed from a hospital and take her under your wing. Or better yet pay for one of the Thais that had to stay in Sirikit get a better level of health care. By next week you and your concern for her will cease to exist and you will have another little Thai story to whinge about.

Deflection helps those that show little sympathy for her plight

What about all the others? Jesus wept. Forget deflection hows about cherry picking sympathy? Do the Thais not deserve your concern? You know the Thais that had to wait in line at Sirikit while little miss vietnam got transported to  a private hospital so you could whinge about how evil Bangkok hospital pattaya is.

There’s more than 2 camps here, there’s also those of us who stick to the topic and what happened to this Vietnamese girl with 80% burns

What about the 10 Thais with 80% burns that no one gives a fxxk about and ended up in agony waiting at Sirikit? How they doing?

Really, in Thailand I had a detached retina, there was nowhere in Ubon province to fisk it, I had to go on a 500km road trip to a hospital that might be able to fix it, thankfully they did.

 

In 2002 I had the same in the UK, I was operated on that same night.  ????

 

 

 

Unfortunately despite much of the faux outrage and shirt tearing we all realise this is part of the reality of living in Thailand. The smarter of us prepare and try to deal with this as best we can. Others wait until too late and then decry something they knew to be true all along.

The online BMI calculators say you're obese.

Id imagine so and thats true even with 12% body fat. Your organs dont recognise a difference between fat and muscle. But by that scale every NFL, NBA, MLB, NRL etc etc player is morbidly obese. So you worry about BMI ill worry about my fitness levels  ????

Having attended a few local public hospitals and seen that can do just the basic treatment , although the bigger public hospitals can offer a bit more than the smaller ones 

So that's a No!

Some people were complaining that she even got treated in a private hospital , they seemed to be suggesting that she should have been left outside in the car park in agony and left to die 

Oh back to the car park ????????????????????. More unsubstantiated nonsense. She was in a hospital and moved to another one. She was never left in a <deleted> car park. End of.

Yeah plenty of flip floppery in this thread. The result would be the same basically world wide. Even if you were treated in a private hospital they would stabilise you then kick you the <deleted> out. Simple. Cruel? Yes. Unjust? Maybe. True? 100%

The public hospitals are very basic , they do not have the means to treat people (80-90% burns) with such bad injuries .

Proof? Evidence? Of the 10 we are speaking of or just speculation? Also yet another good argument for having medical insurance. Especially in a country like Thailand.

More that the biggest hospital in town is prepared to kick out critical, immobile, patients if they can't pay any more. Sorry, you missed that point!

Sorry you dont understand how private hospitals operate. How about the 10 public hospitals whos job it is to ACTUALLY treat her or Sirikit you mad at any of them? Lol.

I have experience with the place in question... but why don't we stay on topic.

Sweet. What was your point again? Liability insurance for an illegal venue? Her lack of insurance? Or private hospitals operating for free?

I guess you are mistaken. If they cared more about people then money they would be broke and could not provide any service. This is a really expensive patient and i can understand the hesitance of the hospital. They could be out of pocket a lot money. 

 

So many people are against mandatory heathcare as its to expensive but expect hospitals to treat them free. Bit of a contradiction. Its easy spending other peoples money and telling them what to do when it does not hit them personally. 

 

In this case the fault is totally with the club and its insurance and its safety. But people make it a problem of the BKK hospital. 

Well said . Post of the thread. Another one with impartiality and common sense.

Just now, jacko45k said:

It still comes across as vey mercenary... particularly to us from the West where health cover is provided and certainly cannot be refused. Perhaps accident cover or health cover would have helped her but young people do not think of those things.... the venue should have had liability insurance don't you think?

Illegal venue operating illegally? What do you think. Free health care in the west in a private hospital? Yeah right?

 Read it again mate. She was at Sirikit who were willing to treat her. Her friend drove her in her car to a private hospital . Paid the deposit so her friend could be treated. She was never refused treatment and no where in the west in a private hospital do you get free health care. Absolute nonsense.
