Agree. But even more so in this case. My understanding is that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and emphysema doesn't happen ovenight. I have freinds who suffer from similar conditions and refuse to change their lifestyle and get help. 77 years old, fixed in his own world, wants to live in warm climate, doesn't want to change, hoping negative things will just go away by themselves. I have more sympathy for his daughter. Just my opinion and I could be 100% wrong in this matter.

"The order is related to this case involving the suicide of a Kyrgyzstan national in Pattaya who had allegedly been tricked into prostitution" Give me break! A chief of police fired because of a foreign woman tricked into prostitution and subsequently commited suicide. The journalist is got to be joking. Us readers of Asean Now may not be the sharpest tools in the shed but we are not that stupid.

Mission accomplished, got your attention. Why spoil a great story with facts .... 555.

I think you have to read the full article linked to Pattaya News before making a comment. IMHO the words "strange circumstances" is an understatement. Not sure what the relevance of the statement that the owner was staying with her two student nephews visiting Thailand has to the death of the Krygystani woman. The female owner mentioned that the she gave the Krygystani woman one of her rooms as a favor to her ex-girlfriend. Begs the question if whether the owner, ex-girlfriend and Krygystani woman are lesbians. Jealous lovers? Had to throw that one in to add to the intrigue (smile).

Another question I would be asking is he on meds. Has he a history of mental illness or mental disorders? It is not uncommon in Europe for individuals who are not suitable for travel to be granted a passport based on their human rights. If this is the case then his embassy is morally obligated to get involved and disclose all information. Governsments issuing passports to the mentally ill must be held responsible for their actions.

So what you mean is if I lose a whole lot of weight, buy some black shorts, I too can look like a 20 - 25 year old drug addict, I'm on top of it, I'm tired of loking my age of between 65 and death.

Hello All, the reason I'm late to posting to this article is that I just got back from Berlin, Germany using Scoot. It took 13 hours 20 minutes to get to Singapoe. No videos, no complementary snacks or refreshments. Not even a bottle of water, My uderstanding was that for long haul flights such as this one airlines were obiliged to provide some form of nourishment to their passengesrs. Apparently not! The Nottingham man has my sympothy and I can relate to his anxiiety. For those who say he should deal with it and move on should take a course in empathy. The same people who would be scraming to the rooftops if this situation happened to them.
