Food poisoning sends hundred hill tribe students to hospital

BANGKOK: -- More than a hundred hill tribe students at a primary school in Tambon Chiang Dao of Chiang Dao district, Chiang Main were admitted to Chiang Rai hospital yesterday after students said they felt dizzy and vomited after taking lunch.


The incident was reported to the hospital for help take students to hospital by the school director Mr Rungroj Duangdee after students reported unusual condition after they ate chicken rice.

Many said they felt dizzy, had acute Diarrheas and also vomited.

He immediately alerted the hospital and charity rescue workers as the symptom was close to patients suffering from poisonous food.

Investigation later revealed that the school had prepared food for a team of police officers coming to the school to give lecture on drug prevention course for students who are mostly Lisor tribe.

After the lecture, students joined the team in the lunch.

But in the evening after students returned homes, they reported that they felt uncomfortably in the stomach. Some vomited and some said they were dizzy.

Many also had Diarrheas.

Their parents then alerted the school director who later sought help from hospital to send doctors to treat the students.

So far a dozen of students are still remaining at hospital, while others have recovered.

Let the hill tribes die. They're not important. After all, they've been here for hundreds of years and are not even registered Thai citizens. Thais don't care about them. Why should we?

Bit of a stupid statement, even if done with tongue in cheek...

The hill-tribes have not been here hundreds of years, since they mostly migrated from China, Tibet and Burma within the last century. I know the Thais look down upon them as inferior and non-citizens and are only just starting to give nationality and ID cards to those born here, but we do not have to follow such prejudice.

One who considers himself above or better than another is, in that instant, the lesser himself by such a thought.

Actually the hill-tribes are superior to Thais in several ways...but I shall not expand upon that here.
