A body can be donated to science, but the conditions for donation, such as under 65, within 24 hours, not from an accident, can not be meet by a foreigner’s death. An example from Madidol University. https://anatomy.sc.mahidol.ac.th/old/bodydonation.htm Or Chuulalongkorn Hospital. https://chulalongkornhospital.go.th/kcmh/en/body-and-organ-donations/

If there are no family in Thailand, the embassy will try to contact a next of kin, to deal with the body. The embassy normally only assists and not pay for anything. Some families may not be able or want to get involved because of costs, etc, and can give permission for a friend to have the released to them for cremation, if such friend is available and the friend will then have to pay the costs. Current law in Thailand states that a unclaimed body is not cremated, but must be buried, after a period of time, normally done by a local charitable foundation. Thanks to @JensenZ who posted a link of those details in the below thread.

Yes, it depends on the police doing the death report and the hospital. It can also depend on who talks to the police and hospital and the persons medical history/suspected cause of death. The UK Embassy will not chase up if a post mortem is not carried out. Have helped a few friends, local to me, and some have been sent to the Police Hospital, BKK for post mortem and some have not.

@Sheryl gave good advice, but if you choose to do it yourself, you need to consider. Where you die, will affect the total costs. If you die at home, with no hospital history of medical conditions, the police normally require the body is sent for a post mortem. That will mean additional hospital and transport costs. If you die in hospital, with no suspicious circumstances, then a post mortem is not normally required. Hospital storage costs at a government hospital is between 200 to 400 baht a day. UK embassy body release letter can all be done by email and costs nothing. Hospital report and police report, will be needed to register the death and get death certificate at local Amphur, costs will vary, but not expensive. Most temples will do a simple cremation, no need to have the body overnight at the temple, just transport straight from hospital for cremation. Coffin and transport costs can be arranged locally. No need for cleaning the body, food, service etc, unless the wife wishes to show off a bit (issue of ‘face’). Then just pay a local undertaker, plus the temple normally requests you have a few monks present, which should not be more than 10000 baht, but again varies between temples. The undertaker will arrange collection of your ashes with your wife. You both can sort most of this before you die, and hopefully you have a friend who will help her through the procedures after your death.

Try this and see if it helps “For online payments, you can pay with a debit card, credit card or via PayPal. Agoda accepts five payment processing networks: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, JCB and Carte Bleue.” https://trvlguides.com/articles/how-to-pay-on-agoda-card

How the deferred prosecution plays out, will decide if families of the passengers on the max 8 crashes, 2018 and 2019, will be now able to take Boeing to court for real compensation. Maybe the question of why corporate America were given so much leeway, needs to asked of the previous administration. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/02/13/boeing-prosecution-737-crashes/ Here is an analysis of the current Boeing situation from a different view point, by looking at recorded data/information. “Experts say Boeing-averse passengers’ fears are understandable but largely unfounded. And data from the National Transportation Safety Board suggests the number of Boeing accidents and incidents involving passenger flights this year is in line with previous years going back at least a decade.” https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/have-boeing-planes-really-had-more-problems-lately-look-at-the-numbers/ The new whistleblower Sam Saleshpour, claims are being investigated by the FAA, and Boeing’s response has stated that “Salehpour's allegations were "inaccurate" and contrary to the findings of comprehensive testing that had found the 787 could operate safely before needing "conservative maintenance routines." “. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., who chairs the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee investigations subcommittee, said he received a whistleblower's allegations earlier this year and had invited Salehpour to speak at a hearing on "Boeing's broken safety culture" next week. Blumenthal and committee ranking member Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., also wrote to Boeing and the FAA. https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024.3.19-PSI-Letter-to-Boeing-CEO-David-Calhoun.pdf Boeing also says it makes its employees aware of their federally protected whistleblower rights which are designed to protect employees against retaliation, in its ethics and compliance policies. https://www.boeing.com/sustainability/ethics-and-compliance Boeing, the company, has three divisions, Commercial Airplanes; Defense, Space & Security; and Global Services “Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) builds commercial aircraft. Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) builds military airplanes, rotorcraft, and missiles, as well as space systems for both commercial and military customers, including satellites, spacecraft, and rockets. Boeing Global Services (BGS) provides aftermarket support, such as maintenance and upgrades” I myself have an interest in aviation safety and like to deal with facts and data, and try to use credible and reliable links to support the information I post. I have no agenda to push when discussing Boeing, Airbus, FAA, NTSB, etc. but like to base judgement on all the available details after the investigations are completed and any charges/changes are made/required.

Thanks for the link, was aware of this new 787 whistleblower, see previous link. The FAA has; “”The Enforcement Division initiates legal enforcement actions to address noncompliance by regulated entities and persons including certificate actions, civil penalty actions, and informal procedures and settlements. The policies, procedures, and guidelines for the FAA's legal enforcement actions are contained in FAA Compliance and Enforcement Program, Order 2150.3C.” But enforcement and charges by the FAA, will be a lot narrower and limited, than from the DOJ/FBI. Please note also that Boeing has deferred prosecution protection, give on the last day of the previous administration, following the max 8 crashes, and we are yet to see how that effects this investigation and any charges. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/agc/practice_areas/enforcement/enforcement_actions

This Foundation has recorded all incident reports from the 737 MAX and is based on the fact that “U.S. based airlines are required to submit safety reports called Service Difficulty Reports (SDRs) for malfunctions involving aircraft systems in accordance with U.S. law. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is required by Department of Transportation policy to investigate these incidents to determine root causes and to ensure corrective action is taken by aircraft manufacturers and airlines to fix the problem(s).” https://www.foundationforaviationsafety.org/incident-reports

Sorry about the paywalled link, here is a better one. https://aviationa2z.com/index.php/2024/04/11/ntsb-interviews-boeing-on-737-max-9-door-plug-incident/ Agree about the orders, airlines are limited for choices, so the Boeing order book will continue to grow, links to the American Airlines order and a 20 777X aircraft order from an undisclosed customer. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/04/09/business/boeing-orders-deliveries?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo https://www.airdatanews.com/boeing-wins-order-for-20-777x-jets-from-undisclosed-customer/ Also seems that the Alaska Airlines door plug repair, was not the only undocumented repair found by the NTSB investigation. https://www.forbes.com/sites/marisagarcia/2024/04/11/ntsb-chair-says-there-are-more-boeing-door-plug-repairs/?sh=416bb0be3603

So as expected, absolutely nothing. Hope in your will you have left your body to medical science, as your such a superman, whoes body is outside normal science. Life experience, 55555, more like national arrogance which hides your ignorance. Always remember it’s better to be silent and thought, than to speak and remove all doubt. Bye and have a good day in your fantasy reality.

555555 Total BS, so you know better than all the medical advice available. Here are a few facts why electrolytes are important because they help: Balance the amount of water in your body Balance your body's acid/base (pH) level Move nutrients into your cells Move wastes out of your cells Support your muscle and nerve function Keep your heart rate and rhythm steady Keep your blood pressure stable Keep your bones and teeth healthy Please don’t reply, I have far better things to do than debate with an ill informed key board specialist, unless you can pease supply a credible link or research that electrolytes are not needed or are just an advertising con! As the old saying goes, put up or shut up, as your personnel view is misleading and worth about zero. Maybe start with this article which was medically reviewed by Natalia Johnsen, MD courtesy of American College of Lifestyle Medicine. “Dehydration is extremely common; At least 518,000 people are hospitalized in the United States each year for dehydration. About 10,000 of those who are admitted to the hospital for dehydration each year die there. Prevention of Dehydration The No. 1 way to prevent dehydration is to drink fluids! Consult your healthcare team to find out what’s optimal for you. In general, during hot, humid days or other situations that deplete fluid (such as exercise or illness) take a sip of water or a hydrating fluid with electrolytes every 15 minutes.” https://www.everydayhealth.com/dehydration/#:~:text=At least 518%2C000 people are,(1)

Good data and information. Further details show that Boeing only delivered 29 planes in March, while Airbus delivered 63. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/09/boeing-airplane-deliveries-drop-during-q1-amid-safety-crisis.html NTSB have said that Boeing and FAA staff are to be Interviewed this week for 737 max door probe. So the problems/crisis continues, which can only mean more reduced/restricted output. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/esg/boeing-faa-staff-to-be-interviewed-this-week-for-737-max-probe

That is good, people should know their own bodies and how best to hydrate themself to suit the temperature and what they are going to be doing. No hard and fast rules, but be flexible depending on the situation, but ensure you always drink enough of suitable liquids. I personally sweat a lot, so use warm water, mixed with some electrolytes, as I can drink it quicker, to replace my fluid levels. My profession did not allow for light weight loose clothing, so I developed strategies on how to hydrate myself, to prevent the problems occurring, and have used that for living with hot spells.

Yes very good informative and advice, but best to consider hydration before and during any period is better than trying to recover and suffer after. When I expect to exercise or work in heat I always use electrolytes powders and find I also I hydrate better on room temperature water, rather than cold water, that is just my personal preference. But just like anything, too many electrolytes can be unhealthy, if done to excess. I doubt you are going to overdose on them, but; Too much sodium, hypernatremia, can cause dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea. Too much potassium, hyperkalemia, can impact your kidney function and cause heart arrhythmia, nausea, and an irregular pulse. Too much calcium, hypercalcemia, can lead to fatigue, lethargy, seizures, and bone and joint pain. Too much magnesium can cause muscle weakness, nausea, dizziness, confusion, and heart arrhythmia. https://www.wellandgood.com/overdose-electrolytes/

555555 Showing my own stupidity now or dyslexic fingers, last date should say 2009, not 2019.

555555 Hope so, it was her 6th. She also did say “If I want 15 kids then so be it”, wonder if she has her own sports’ team by now.

I am sure the poster will appreciate your advice. Just a shame that the poster has not used the forum since 2011. Did you really not notice that the comment you are replying to was made 15 years ago, 2019.

I believe they are going after the company in the main, as it was Boeing, as a company, that got a deferred prosecution agreement, on the last day of the last administration. Any prosecution will lead to further compensation claims, that will run into billions. The company will be the focus, but a few individuals may also face some charges. The FAA is also investigating a Boeing engineer's allegations about safety concerns on the 787. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boeing-787-dreamliner-whistleblower-faa-investigating/#:~:text=The Federal Aviation Administration is,787 Dreamliner raise safety concerns. The ongoing crisis/problems is affecting the delivery of aircrafts. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/09/boeing-airplane-deliveries-drop-during-q1-amid-safety-crisis.html

Please remember there is a big difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion you can normally deal with yourself, but heat exhaustion requires medical care and attention. The same easy preventative measures will help avoid both, drink plenty of water, not alcohol, avoid dehydration, wear light coloured loose clothing, think about time of day when exercising or working in the heat. https://www.healthline.com/health/heat-stroke-vs-heat-exhaustion

Yes agree, but I never said it does. What I said was “suspected concentrated, sun rays”, and there is not enough details in the report to tell us what was inside the car, that focused the suns rays to cause the fire. The report states, “origin of the fire was traced back to the rear seat where he had stored dry tissues and toothpicks”, I suspect the focusing of the suns rays would have been caused by something like a bottle, glasses, sun glasses or any other reflective object, left in the car, which is not reported in the article. That would have focused the suns rays onto the combustibles, hence causing the fire. Which is also a rare and unlucky incident. If you don’t believe that possible, can you please tell us your suspected cause of the fire?

How Boeing's latest crisis could imperil its 2021 Department of Justice crash agreement, and how they are now facing fresh pressure from families of the victims of two fatal Boeing 737 max 8 crashes, in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people, to be criminally prosecuted. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/explainer-boeings-latest-crisis-could-050352423.html

Great video. People often don’t realise that if you leave a cheap lighter in direct sunlight, you risk a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion), because the lighter contains both liquid and gas, and when heated the liquid will produce more gas, which will expand and cause higher pressure, and if any weakness in the plastic body it can lead to an explosion. Little chance of a fire as the BLEVE is caused by heat from the sunlight and it would require an ignition source to start a fire. If anyone does not believe it, please go out and put your lighter on the car dash in direct sunlight, I accept no responsibility for any damage if anyone is stupid enough to try.

Analysis of where the Boeing problems started. “Boeing’s fall can be traced back a quarter century, to when its leaders elevated the interests of shareholders above all others. “Crush the workers. Share price. Share price. Share price. Financial moves and metrics come first,” was Boeing’s philosophy” https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/boeings-long-fall-and-how-it-might-recover/

5555 more total irrelevance, so now you are just trolling, and still embarrassing yourself by using emojis, when you are unable to offer anything constructive. This thread is not about EVs, but it does show that you have zero knowledge about what you’re posting. It is impossible to educate anyone who lets their arrogance hid their ignorance, and just chooses to follow their own agenda. Bye, I am out of this nonsense, please politely go and stalk someone else.

55555 insults, really? So you’re thinned skinned, but seem happy to throw abuse at others, as often seen in the pension threads. Each UK fire service, do risk assessments and operational procedures on all hazards and risks. I provided a link to a generic example above, which includes EVs. If you let me know what your knowledge is of the fire tetrahedron, I could give you some basic information on how offensive and defensive firefighting strategies, are formulated.
