Couldn't be caused by the 5 star menu by any chance could it?

What part of the country is this jail located in?

Geezer

Kantharalak is in Srisaket overlooking Cambodia.

I wonder if the 2 who died are the Swiss thieves caught at the airport,  guess they wouldn’t have any immunity to diseases in there.
