I have/had a farang friend here in Pattaya who is having a mental health issue and does not understand nor believe it. I have suggested he try to get medical help but he tells me I am the crazy one. It is very frustrating to try to help him or even speak with him. I do fear for his safety but do not know how to help him.
One thing you must do is have a trusted friend, such as Executor, and give him PINs for your ATM cards to your bank account. Don't leave these numbers in your safe or where someone can have access to them. You can put these numbers on your mobile device/computer if you wish. Also give your trusted friend a key to your room in case of emergency and access to your safe. Once you die the police will come to your room to get your Passport and whatever else and lock the room.
This is especially important for someone who lives alone.
