Do expats actually subject themselves to living in Lamphun ?

This in itself could prove to be an exposure to mental health issues.

There is a virus like that going about in various parts of Thailand and Cambodia right now. Some people get just the GI symptoms, some just the throat, some both.

High fever (meaning 39 C or higher) would be an indication to get medical help, as would inability to keep fluids down. A lower fever and able to take fluids, if the patient is neither a young infant nor very elderly, could try just managing at home symptomatically - paracetemol for the fever and any aches, activated charcoal + electrolyte solution for the GI aspects, and plenty of rest of general fluids. If persist or worsens then doctor.

Sounds like garden variety norovirus outbreak. Easily spread through person-to-person casual contact as well as secondary contact.

My son is in hospital for this now. IV saline and antibiotics. 1 week with symptoms and 3 days in hospital and he is now getting better.
