Has anyone been asked to go to the wattana psychiatric hospital

[weegee]

I cant say why yet....but it's not over. But at least we got him through stage one...

Now the hard parts starts.

Thank's for that, please keep us updated on his progress.

A great ending to what could have been a tragedy.

Well done to all on Thai Visa who were able to help this man.

There is a lot of tomfoolery on these boards but when the chips are down people really pulled together for this guy.

Again well done and a great big pat on the back folks.

If ever I'm in trouble, I know where I'm coming for help.

Oh BTW, Can anyone lend me a tenner until payday.

Weegee went the extra 9 yards, to his credit.

[slipperylobster]

The subject was brought up. Yes...there are girls who drug men. (Mostly in your alcohol). I read several reports, and, have been a victim of this. Being in the wrong place, with the wrong attitude will make you a sure target.

Does witchcraft exist in Thailand. Hell yeah. I have a neighbor, and half the village here goes to his wife for spiritual help. Thankfully, they are "White" magic. This was emphatically repeated me. It seemed important that they wanted me to know that they did not "do" the "Black Magic".

Buriram, and those places close to Cambodia, do believe in Witchcraft....both black and white. My girl confirmed this...without question.

People in a weakened state, may be drugged, maliciously. Irrational behavior, and especially alcoholism, make a ready victim. Bar girls, throughout the world, have been taught techniques...passed down through the ages. I remember one specifically, in the Philippines, who dabbed her nipples with LSD, from a postage stamp sized square of cellophane. Altered states of awareness in the victim, and subtle innuendos, suggestions, can leave you whimpering in the dark.

Extremely bright colors and hallucination. Long term flashbacks, seeing ghosts and demons, time will tell. Was it alcoholism, D.T.s, drugged food and drink.... You will only know a few years from now. Flashbacks will slowly stop, if it was the LSD. Eventually, it all goes away.

We shall see, what this was....I hope.

[mrtoad]

Good on you weegee and the others that have been involved in helping this guy out. Sounds like it really could have had a tragic ending.

As a few others have said, there are some good people on this board.

[ericnoodeeka]

what a remarkable story.

i hope the guy is ok.

for me, i must be the only farrang here who never sen any of this stuff.

been here over 6 years, we have a 4 year old daughter, my wife works as a tax inspector, and i work about 7 mnths per year

abroad.coming and going.

am i really the only person here who leads a normal life??

all theses stories, amazing.

if i ever found this forum before i married my wife, i would never have come here.

but as so far, i truly enjoy it.

also, all her family work hard, nobody comes in my house uninvited, and nobody ever asked me for a penny.

seems i must be the lucky one, or the other lucky ones never post on here.

as a foo note, its been so nice to see that some people on here went out all the way to help this person,

so very commendable.

it has also restored my belief in this forum which i was going to leave, but after reading all this, i have changed my mind.

im trully impressed and humbled by the actions of weeggee and unknown others.

to you gentelmen, and i mean gentel men, i take my hat off.

[weegee]

Is there a Doctor(real one) on the forum?

I need to get some info....thanks

It is because of the company you keep. A good man, who chooses a good wife, and good friends...may never be exposed to the darker side.

Some people are drawn to the dark... of those, there are a few that get swallowed up. Not many will return.

This forum has many happy men with good relationships. I ended up well. If you really pay attention, you will see that it also contains stories where things did not end up well.

Perhaps a sign that said...Buyer Beware, would be appropriate.

If you work 7 months a year abroad. How exactly do you have a "normal " life?

??????????

so all the people in the forces, international truck drivers, oil rig workers, doctors without borders, misionaries, expat workers who work abroad, all dont live normal lives to u??

a very strange statement indeed.

[ericnoodeeka]

and im not picking on u, just find it strange.

and looking at site name, i am also a biker .

its not because u do work away for 4 weeks, u cant live a normal life.or is it?

[EmptyHead]

At least he is safe in BKK.

Some western food, a massage, and a good night's sleep should work wonders.

All the best.

Ask on the health forum weegee or send Sheryl a PM might be better in this case.

No I don't think they are "normal lives" in the sense of being with your wife and family on a day to day basis as most people are. There is nothing wrong with living a life like that but I don't consider that it's normal!

By the way. It's not a dig at you or anyone else!

If you can't find an inhouse Dr weegee, seriously get him to the mission hospital. They literally saved my sons life and treated us like royalty. I couldn't be bothered doing an insurance claim and paid cash. A few hundred dollars (equivalent) for 3 nights and a mountain of tests, intravenus medication etc.

ok i get ur point, but by ur calculation, half the world is not normal, and also, im not digging at you or anyone else, just a reply.

[taony]

I just found this thread, but glad to hear that he was able to get help before we had to read his story on the Thialand News page.

[harrry]

Everyone has problems sometimes. It seems he may need some help. His thai family may have gone over the top in trying to solve a problem and may have in fact put more pressure but it seems some help is needed. Please get the help that is needed. It is not the end of the world.

It is good that at some times some of the forum members are willing to get together to help somone. We can ignore or filter out those who just wanted to put the anti thai message.

[choochoo]

Is there anyone in Bangkok that can give a few hours of their time please...He needs lots of expats around him for a while...

If you can, and are willing, please PM me....

pro bono or paid work? does i need work permit?

it takes years for these kind of guys to become capable of taking care of themselves......not a few hours.

[choochoo]

At least he is safe in BKK.

Some western food, a massage, and a good night's sleep should work wonders.

All the best.

a massage and hes right back where he started.........................lol.

[choochoo]

Now you get him on a plane and send him back to europa!

[slipperylobster]

Has he an insurance plan, with his outfit? Travellers' insurance?

Detox? Sounds a bit like the tremens. Serious stuff.

If so, he needs treatment asap. It can be fatal.

[Gecko123]

Don't understand why this guy wasn't taken to a hospital for a medical eval immediately.

[Soutpeel]

Don't understand why this guy wasn't taken to a hospital for a medical eval immediately.

You dont understand because you dont know the full story thats why

[slipperylobster]

Don't understand why this guy wasn't taken to a hospital for a medical eval immediately.

A clinic would be a good start. Not expensive.

[Chairman Of The Board]

Guys, Unless it is relevant to the OPs situation, can we try to keep this thread clear.

It has been established that this is a genuine case and there are a few (very capable) Samaritans helping this guy now.

We are being well informed of the progress of this matter and I presume that Weegee will keep us updated.

We don't need this thread to be turned into a discussion about lifestyles or a place to get all self righteous about the virtues of marrying a good girl.

Thank you for your understanding and compliance in this matter fellow posters.

[weegee]

Ok you internet Jockies....help me with this

I have his name not his passport number...He is British as you know. He has a daughter in UK, and she needs to be contacted, OR, someone needs the British Consulate here to contact her....What can be done ????

If there was a photo of this guy on TVF...most of you would be physically sick....

[slipperylobster]

There are "complications". I do hope the British Embassy (yes, yes,...I know...but procedures) gets a look at this man.

Clinical evaluation....mandatory.
