saw a very sickly looking foreigner

 

his feet were extremely swollen and purple and his toes looked mangled.

 

how does someone let their feet decay so badly? 

 

is this some form of incurable disease? or are people not getting proper medical treatment because they have no proper health insurance?

I guessed it was diabetes.

He cant afford medical treatment due to no insurance in thailand? 

 

Those diabetes legs do look revolting, mostly self induced, of course type 1 is a different story

There might be many reasons for what you observe when observing foreigners.

 

a. dementia

b. illness, either mental or physical, or both.

c. intentional

d. a bad hook-up with a Pattaya Bar Girl, is a reasonable assumption

e. old age

f. reading too many Topics on TV Farang Pub, probably...

 

g. Feet might have been soaking in brine...and who really knows because you did not ask him the question which you are now asking us....

Surely those are hippo legs... ?

 

I had a great German pal many years ago in Phuket who was the head chef at the the airport catering company.  Due to all the sweet food that he had to concoct and eat, he had diabetes.  Finally had to chop his legs off and he died soon afterwards 😞

possibly, not sure.

Yeah, I'm sure a lot of people have health issues.

I wanted to ask about this because I'm wondering if foreigners are avoiding medical treatment due to lack of insurance and lack of funds.

Why not ask him. Was he old or young?

Old.

I suppose I could have asked him. Didn't occur to me.

Why does it bother you so much that I'm asking on here?

Hi, looks like no complete cure.

What the doctors can do, mostly prevention of its spread.

As well as stopping its progress.
