A translator went on Facebook to report that a 46 year old Thai woman had been abandoned by an agency who she paid to find her work in South Korea.

 

Saengdeuan Leucha went to the country on November 25th but had a severe reaction to the cold weather there and suffered a burst blood vessel in her brain.

 

She was paralysed on her right side and unable to speak.

 

Thais in Rung district of South Korea helped her to hospital but there was already a bill of ten million won or 300,000 baht as they tried to contact relatives.

 

The woman is from Chaiyaphum in north eastern Thailand.

 

Thai Rath reported that she had paid an agency 80,000 baht to find her work. But now fearing police action the agency had taken down their Facebook and Line pages.

How does cold weather give you a stroke? Hope she makes it back home.

I think the whole travelling to foreign countries without "medical/travel insurance" has been flogged in Thai media.  Hope she makes it home safe.

Scum

I know people who were left without passports and could not get back for years. I suspect some never did, working illegally in manual labour on farms and the like.

 

Worse still are the Thai family scum who steal whatever meagre money comes back, fail to pass it on to the kids of the people overseas and use it to feather their own nest.

 

Yet incredibly the Thais who have been robbed by their own simply shrug it off whereas we'd be getting rope and digging a hole.

or she had undiagnosed high blood pressure or knew but did noncompliant on medication.

Thailand should make medical insurance mandatory for their own people traveling abroad instead of trying to flog off worthless insurance to first world tourists who mostly are in possesion of medical insurance already.

But I suppose there is no money to be made trying to be a good parent to your Thai subject, easier to rip off the farang.

46?

I do hope this poor woman recovers.

Freezing has to be one of the most frightening things for a Thai person.

I can imagine it being used as an interrogation method.

There you go again mate, guessing without a clue as to what caused her stroke. S. Korean govt is cruel in the extreme to foreigners. I know that fact from first hand experience.  I pray she gets home but w/o someone footing the doctor bill one never knows how S. Korea will react.

What a bunch of rubes

 

For Pete's sake.

hypertension is a main/leading cause of stroke.  simply a fact.
