Thai health authorities probe Aussies’ claim of “two years in hell” after eating Pad Thai in Thailand in 2017

[Isaanbiker]

Happened in 2017 and now it turned out that it was Paad Thai?

 

    I never had a problem and I eat that pretty often. Something smells very bad here.

 

  Even when the hygiene at Thai street food could be a bit better, there's no need to badmouth the food and the country in general.

i was not referring to the alleged source of infection by the couple but to the statement(s) made by thai authorities especially that because pad thai is cooked using high heat such a meal can not be the source.

Capisce?

 

 

You should try writing clearly 101. Then your post would be clear.

There is no way that these Aussie scammers can pinpoint an infection like this to a specific meal on a specific day over 2 years ago from a specific food court. How many other meals did they consume on the same holiday including airline food and airport food?

 

Ridiculous.

...and let's all blame the Chinese:

As part of his nationalist campaign, Plaek Phibunsongkhram, who had been promoted to Thai Prime Minister by a coup d'état, ordered the creation of a new national court: Pad Thai.

However, the most intriguing thing about Pad Thai is, that it's probably not even Thai. Pasta, stir-fried and especially noodle stir-fries are typically Chinese. In fact, virtually every ingredient in Pad Thai does not come from the people the dish is named after. The only truly Thai ingredient is the crushed dried chili peppers.

And the chillis came from the East Indies. ????????????

Actually, chilies were originally grown in Mexico.  When the Spanish conquered Mexico and Central America, they began to eat Mexican fruits and vegetables such as chilies, tomatoes, pineapples, corn, papayas, etc. and proceeded to spread them around the world.

 

Thai food from before 1500 was quite different from modern Thai food.

Mists of time. For sure they are not Thai.

Let's face it, an Englishman invented the kilt and yes I'm a  ( sweaty sock ) jock. ????????

Well, there is the story of the first guy in a kilt in a ladyboy bar who was asked  Is it true you don't wear underwear?

He said put your hand up there and find out.

Shim ( she/him ) did and exclaimed 'that's gruesome'

He replied Put yer hand back, it's grew some more.

How could these 'doctors' find out that this single celled parasite came from eating Pad Thai in Thailand?

Poorly written - they don't mean the doctors found that out - the doctors only found the parasite.

I suffer from the same/similar symptoms, don't want to do anything, feel tired all the time, can't concentrate, really don't want to do much except lie in the bedroom all the time because I'm married and it happens for almost a week every month.

Yeah, it's pretty lame of them to have gained such attention before knowing for sure.

Imported from the Indies, and shortly afterwards exported in the undies.

Was this a proper anal probe, involving chopsticks?

Aussies are surpassing Yanks for whinging.

That'll be the bathroom, sorry. They've sprayed a bit of air freshener and opened the window.

Thailand’s Disease Control Department is investigation a claim by an Australian couple that they went through “two years of hell” after eating a plate of Pad Thai, a popular Thai-style fried noodle, while vacationing in Thailand in 2017.

Unfortunately they broke the authorities' toilet during the investigation, leaving the police with nothing to go on.
