Police learned that he had come to Thailand with his daughter and friends for a holiday five months ago.

Five month+ holiday?

 

Was he working for the GRU?

 

Maybe Bellingcat spooked him???

and had no money, no proper visa, worried about getting found out and deported back home.. etc?

Last time I had a a bad toothache, had the tooth pulled by an excellent dentist in Khon Kaen = 500 Bt. Know what? that damn tooth never ached again.

He came to los 5 months ago for a holiday !!!

Him, his daughter & friends have no work to do back home? I think something fishy here...

Never heard of suicide brought on by toothache before, R.I.P. mate.

In the U.K. i would always buy Ibuprofen for pain but it's not available here. While suffering with sciatica here in Thailand recently, i discovered that GOFEN 400, which is available over the counter at virtually all pharmacies is actually ibuprofen 400mg. 

Just a tip for any of our expat friends who may require pain relief.

Go figure. I walked into a pharmacy a decade ago here and asked for ibuprofen and she gave me  .Gofen. you just have to ask. You can also just ask for tramadol its made here in thailand. Under a different name but chemists know tramadole Cheaper than gofen by far and 10 times better for real pain issues. Its a opiod but not crazy kind.

The tramadole issues here make getting it a bit funny but its here if you ask and you are not a teenager. For youre information

Try this. I recommended to an ex in BKK and she now reports no more migraines. Amlodpine 5mg every evening before bed. Hope it works for you.

Be aware that Amlodopine has side effects other than curing migraine in about 50% of users. Easy to look up online.

Plenty of Russian famlies here who stay long term and rent a condo . Where do they get their money from ? I suspect online work and trying to get Russian tourists to pay upfront fees they can live on. Like a travel agent , of course all illegal .
