Asiantravel Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 On the Thailand live website today it has a heading “Influenza and diarrhea not found among protesters “ . And then earlier on I was talking to someone in Pattaya who said they were looking after a family member who had fever and diarrhea . Does anyone know if there some kind of virus going around which we should be aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSixpack Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Why would anyone think there is any virus going around? At any given time, some Pattaya tourists or residents have diarrhea from eating street food--and may call it influenza as well. There even may be a case or two of real influenza. Just another attempt to create a baseless rumor and stir the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, why are you attacking me for asking a simple question and possibly even alerting people that there could be a chance of this happening? And based on the comments already written by OMGImInPattaya and ROBINPATTAYA you already seem to be wrong as you so often are regarding anything you post on ?

Tolley Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 There are always viruses running around especially in Pattaya. It hasn't rained for awhile so it is probably worse that usual. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That topic refers to the whole of Thailand, not just Pattaya. Yeah, in the whole country, you can at any given time easily find a few more cases of influenza, and of course many of diarrhea, the latter a constant in Thailand, esp. among the stupid farangs. Sorry, means nothing. So even in the Health forum you've similarly failed to create an artificial panic, sorry. Next.

balo Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I did the mistake to visit Pattaya Memorial Hospital today for some blood tests , I am sure I will end up with a flu now , most of the people were coughing and had a running nose . And most of them Russians , they should rename the hospital to Russian Memorial Hospital . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybgood Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Well.....I get a December cold in chilly Eastside Pattaya every year, this year I'm still sniffling after 7 weeks........ not sure if it's the thin, dry, dusty air or something going around......?

Popular Post Woody1 Posted January 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2014 JSixpack, I normally agree with your posts, especially regarding, "Pattaya bashing" but on this one you are wrong my friend! There has been a virus of some sort, not sure I'd call it flu (as I'm not qualified to do that), but I know dozens, probably into the 100's of expat and local friends who have been suffering (in Pattaya and elsewhere in Thailand) including myself over the past month or so with flu like symptoms. It's probably down to weather changes (country wide), who knows, but it's definatley there! After 12 years here I know it's not down to something I've eaten. Sorry OP that I can't give you an exact reason / explanation, but there is a virus / bug going about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
