Family Rush to Rescue British Man With Mystery Illness in Thailand

The family of 72-year-old Raymond Wallace is racing to bring him back to the UK after he was hospitalized in Hua Hin with a severe but unclear illness. Initially diagnosed with pneumonia, his condition worsened to acute respiratory distress syndrome, with conflicting reports suggesting possible kidney issues. With his travel insurance expired, hospital costs have soared to £3,000 (127,500 THB) per day, prompting his family to launch a GoFundMe campaign. His daughter Karrie and her brother are flying to Thailand to gain clarity on his condition, as doctors warn he may need a transfer to a Bangkok hospital. Wallace had originally traveled to Goa to reflect after losing his partner but unexpectedly ended up in Thailand.
