According to this ... https://www.acs.org/pressroom/presspacs/2010/acs-presspac-august-4-2010/fast-forensic-test-can-match-suspects-dna-with-crime-samples-in-four-hours.html 4 hours is possible. But I doubt that such service is available here.

Just saying that the "toast" suggestion is a possibility. The tea/coffee could have been consumed prior. I have not read any official confirmation that the poison was in the tea/coffee cups (nor the glasses).

In the BBC news report you posted in a related topic, the reported said that 6 glasses were found - each with dna traces of one of the 6 victims.

Bob. Just my thoughts. Did you work for the NHS and get paid by the local authority, or did you work for NHSBSA - providing services for the NHS? If you were paid by the local authority during your career and NHSBSA are just the people administering your pension, then I'd think you have a Government pension. If you worked for NHSBSA, maybe it's non government. Would be a good idea to write to your pension provider asking for clarity.

Government pensions are covered in the UK/Thailand DTA. Here is a list of Government/Non Government pensions according to HM Gov. https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/international-manual/intm343040 You will notice that National Insurance pensions (which I assume means State Pension) is, oddly, not a Government pension.

I think, when it comes to wanting a taste from home, we prefer the taste of the things we grew up with. For example: When I am recovering from an illness, only Heinz tomato soup hits the spot. Nothing wrong with Batchelors or Baxters, but they're not what I crave. Of course, you are correct about the duty and taxes.

I stay indoors with windows and doors barred, and have the aircon set to 22C.

I think that DDT is prohibited in Thailand, but I'm sure that the "fogging" chemical (whatever it is) is not good for one's health. Like you, I make sure that we all stay away from the smoke - pets too.
