Full breakdown of age and occupation would help.

Risk factor is more helpful: It is about 40 % for IDUs and around 29% for MSM.

Does anyone know what time the bridge closes, what time the last bus back from Vientiane is to Nong Khai and if there is alternative transport over the bridge if you miss the last bus - which I heard was quite early?

I need to meet some people coming from Savannakhet to Mukdahan over the bridge. I wonder if someone knows what time the bridge closes? I heard 10pm, with the last bus being at 7pm. If this is the case how can they get over the bridge after 7pm given that apparently it isn't permitted to to walk?

It would be very helpful if someone could give some information about this.

Thanks

From this I understand that you can open an account with Kasikorn without a work permit. What documentation do they require?

On the contrary, I can confirm, having been a volunteer at the hospice that all foreign volunteers were asked to leave after the publication of the book by the volunteer doctor a few years ago. This article does have a few inaccuracies, but what is important is that the subject of this temple is discussed openly in Thailand. I think it is a mistake to be over-critical of this article which brings many important issues to the attention of the public.

A free electronic version of the fascinating book by the doctor who worked at this temple is available in English, Thai, French, Japanese at http://www.stylite.net/MMB/telech-chronicles.htm

Paper versions are available on http://stores.lulu.com/paulyveswery

He also created a website which is a valuable medical resource for any doctor, nurse or volunteer working with patients with advanced AIDS. It contains many photographs helpful for diagnostic purposes or just general interest. Please see:
