Hopefully those impolite visitors who feel it's not rude to go shirtless around streets and shops will be banished there.

Many thanks for the kind and generous offer. I am hopeful that local professionals/doctors will at least make her clear on the major dangers of dealing with what is effectively part of the Thai mafia. There is some hopeful progress. Greatly appreciated 🙏

Luckily I have no family or legal tie ups and greatly feel for those who have that in this type of situation. Desperately hard for this in Thailand with no gamblers annonymous, which must be a great help. We are split, but when things get really, really desperate for her, feel she'd find a way to have them reach out to me. Stories I hear in that regard are troubling.

She's had her own condo for 6 months. Not close to me, but have kept in touch. I am trying to safeguard myself #1, but would help me if she steered herself to a better place. Appreciate your thoughts 🙏

That is indeed the heart of the problem. She can't even manage the first step of admitting she has a problem and needs help. I am trying to get her help to "stop" or at least manage things without loan sharks, understanding that she genuinely needs to stop. More now for my own safety than hers. Hope that can work as you suggest 🙏

Thanks the doc at pattaya bhattamakun hospital was useless. pills will do nothing. WIll check out Korat amongst other places which will admit her. Cheers

No good deed goes unpunished 😞

Agreed, I am making preparations for that, but there's a lot involved with GPS thro various means to locate someone. Especially those who you least want to contact you. At the moment, trying to buy some time to get that done as securely as possible, with the hope that she'll revert to just losing what she has and never do anything further with loan sharks. Lawyer says I should have nothing to worry about, but theory and practice are two different fields. The support networks in TH to help with this, seem pretty pathetic compared to UK and USA. If it gets to a bad amount, then everything will end immediately.

Forgot to mention that 1323 was one of the first numbers tried and they recommended to her she be admitted to hospital, but my ex (separated 6 months ago) lives on her own planet and ignored it 😞 Most of the time my attempts to help get abuse and threats to call police. From what I've heard, that would make mafia retribution more likely. If it wasn't for the fact that I love where I live, It's my dream place and don't want to lose it, I would otherwise give up.

Many thanks. I had checked some of those out, but will do those more fully. i have tried to withdraw access to money, but it's so easy for thais to open a new account and that's all she needs is to get money from mafia😌 Medication not being taken. Probably throws out pills. Refuses to admit she has a problem😢 Family doesn't want to know and her friends have same problem. Greatly appreciate your input🙏

My situation was exactly the same as last year, but in addion to residency letter, lease, form and copied pages was also asked to provide. 1 - 12 month bank statement 2 - condo owners chanote 3 - condo owners passport page Definitely more strict at jomtien this year, but eventually got it it OK. No agent involved as per prior year

My ex has developed a true daily addiction for online games, which has extended to getting large sums of money from loan sharks to fulfill her continued losses. We are still friends and fortunately I'd kept all her gold and savings safe in fear of this problem continuing. It was a major reason why we broke up. Fortunately that covered her recent extortionate losses, but it's now all gone. She now has nothing. But can't stop. Despite losing large sums every day, she has the classic belief that she will win it back. I tried to attend a likely redundant Gamblers Annonymous meeting in Jomtien with no luck. I'm assuming that was in in the dim and distant past. Gamblers Annonymous HQ has been of no help. Does anyone know of such meetings anywhere? Went to Mind Clinic. But her problems were beyond anything they could assist with. The government hospital who I hoped would admit her, simply gave her pills. I seriously doubt they will help and she will not reliably take them. As this is forcing me to seek alternative accommodation, so hopefully thugs who go after her can't find me. Despite speaking with a lawyer who says I have no legal tie-up or in theory worry, but I just want to do what I can to be safe. If I could find a private addition centre, I would pay for that, but all the decent ones I see specialise in drug addition. They're a good family, but with no money. I don't want them to suffer from mafia actions, but most of all I want to be safe. If anyone can genuinely help with comments or direct messages. I'd be very grateful. Thanks for reading this 🙏 BTW Based in Pattaya, but will consider other locations for help. US and UK are a non-option coz of visas.

I've seen the classless videos from this low life scumbag. He is clearly a low intelligence idiot and should be deported. I would also note that he sounds like he is from india

Thanks. I'm aware of that and do that locally, always going to pharmacy. However, in this case I knew I'd need to see the doctor again. I didn't want to raise any concerns that I hadn't followed his advice and I didn't know if I'd need a prescription for one of the others. I was a little woozy after the local too! Didn't consider at that time that he'd probably not know if I'd purchased the prescriptions at the hospital or not.

After eventually finding my medical records, it showed that my memory was disconcertingly way off and I'd had a check very recently. However, as I've also been having nose issues which had taken me to Bangkok Pattaya, I decided it was worth seeing Prof. Parit Mekaroonkamol as recommended by Sheryl and others at Medpark Hospital, regardless. He did feel that it was worthwhile having another gastroscopy despite being less that 2 years since the last, which had indicated a relatively small area and no dysplasia. I had that done only yesterday. I will be hearing more and probably another consultation post biopsy in the next few weeks, but I did want to note that the the 16,500 cost is nowhere near the overall total. For a short consultation, the gastroscopy and pills for Heliobacter Pylori, to date I'm at 32,000B I will say the hospital cost of pills was more extreme than I'd previously experienced. For example Amoxicillin 500mg x 56 was 1400B. I will say Prof. Parit Mekaroonkamol is reassuringly knowledgeable and English is excellent. I'll update further after results and subsequent visit(s).
