A Pattaya homeless man's sudden death has led to concerns and investigations by Thai authorities. The man, 50-year-old Noi, was found dead near a bus stop in the intense midday heat. The authorities are exploring whether his death was a result of a preexisting health condition, a severe heatstroke, or possibly a combination of both.

 

On the day Noi was found, temperatures were soaring. His lack of movement in the extreme heat initially pointed to heatstroke - a hazardous condition characterized by high body temperature, altered mental state, nausea and vomiting, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, and headaches.

 

There are also suspicions of an underlying health problem Noi was dealing with, which could have been aggravated by the heat, according to a local who wished to remain unidentified.

 

Among the locals, Noi was known as a familiar face who kept to himself. His death was a sad event that shocked the local community.

 

Noi's body has been sent to Banglamung Hospital for an autopsy to establish the exact cause of his death, information which should help in piecing together the circumstances leading up to his unfortunate passing.

 

In light of this unfortunate event, authorities are advising the public to take precautions during the hot summer months. Tips include staying hydrated, avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, wearing light clothing, and never leaving kids or pets in parked cars, quoted a public official.

 

He cautioned against underestimating the heat, labels it as a silent killer, and appealed to everyone, particularly individuals with underlying health issues, to stay safe and take care of their health.

That does not help homeless people.

How do they receive the advice?

No phone, no internet, nothing.

They are not going to receive the vote buying 10,000 baht yet they are still people and they are probably the ones who need it most.

I can't imagine why people don't spend a lot of time walking about in Supermarkets, banks, sitting in the Ampoer, hospitals etc.

The homeless people are usually unwelcome to these premises.

Often deterred to enter such buildings(stopped by the security guards).

Or they themselves feel reserved to walk in.

In most cases, air-cond comforts are for the better-off.

It is always the least fortunate that is left to fend off themselves.

Especially in the 3rd world.

Very sad, but true.
