webfact Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 An 82 year old Thai man tragically died after he was stung by a swarm of wasps in an abandoned house in the Isaan province of Maha Sarakham. ThaiRath reported that the old man, Sai Romyen, requested to use the bathroom at a local grocery shop nearby his house on the incident day. Unfortunately, all the bathrooms were occupied by others so Sai walked to an abandoned house nearby the shop to use the bathroom. While en route to the bathroom, Sai stumbled upon a discarded motorcycle, which had become a nesting site for a swarm of wasps. Triggered by the unexpected intrusion, the wasps reacted with instinctual aggression, swiftly attacking the intruder. by Petch Petpailin Photo via ThaiRath Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/82-year-old-man-dies-after-being-stung-by-swarm-of-wasps -- Thaiger 2023-08-18 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

proton Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Would they be those tiny wasps not much bigger then a ghat? They give nasty bites all over you almost before you see them, never seen big wasps here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give nasty bites all over you almost before you see them, never seen big wasps here I've seen big wasps on a golf course in Chiang Mai. The nest was only about half a dozen of them. The guy I was playing with had been in Thailand a long time, and said just 2 or 3 stings could be fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is joking about it. They're suggesting that it wasn't him simply entering the area that made the wasps attack him, but that he might have interfered with the bike and that the disturbed the nest.

SiSePuede419 Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Don't worry. I got revenge for this man by eating their cousins last week. It's considered a delicacy here. Of course if you're allergic it could send you to the ER. ???? Wasp larvae+green Chile sauce+sticky rice Personally, I prefer crickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
