The developments were discussed in a recent meeting chaired by Kittipong Sukhaphakul, Deputy Governor of Prachuap Khiri Khan, which saw attendance from Dr. Wara Selawattanakul, the Provincial Public Health Doctor, and representatives from related agencies. The meeting aimed to review the status of significant infectious diseases within the area, particularly noting the emergence of Legionnaires’ disease cases from February 9 to March 18, 2024. The reported cases include one Myanmar national residing in the Sam Roi Yot district and four foreign tourists living in Hua Hin, with two hailing from the Netherlands, one from Sweden, and one from Germany. These individuals, who were staying in a mix of accommodations including hotels, condominiums, and guesthouses, have prompted a thorough investigation and control measures by the Provincial Public Health Office. Efforts include surveying and sampling water from the residences and hotels involved, inspecting Hua Hin’s municipal water system infrastructure, and identifying potential sites of contamination. Legionnaires’ disease, a bacterial infection presenting symptoms akin to the flu such as fever, headache, and severe cases leading to pneumonia, is spread through airborne droplets and the aspiration of contaminated water. Notably, it cannot be transmitted from person to person, but the risk of outbreaks necessitates vigilant monitoring. In response to the detected cases, Hua Hin Hospital and Bangkok Hospital – Hua Hin are coordinating to screen for new instances of the disease, including tests for the genetic material of the Legionella bacteria. Deputy Governor Kittipong Sukhaphakul has emphasized the importance of maintaining standard chlorine levels in the municipal water supply while awaiting the results of the water sample tests. Despite the disease not being highly transmissible among people, a significant outbreak could potentially impact the region’s tourism sector. Forget the health concerns. They are more worried about damaging tourism dollars

I had one bigger than that taken from my back many years ago. It was done in office. No hospital needed. It was almost as big as a tennis ball. Local anesthetic was only used. In Thailand though they will insist on hospitalisation or to be done in hospital simple for the extra money. It won't be cheap for a foreigner

So this guy who was not is politely saying he will not allow the real winner of the elections to take his new position.

My 8 year old daughter got it in school in Prachuap. Nasty. Worse than COVID. Took a week for symptoms to subside. Luckily she did not need hospitalisation. But we had to work hard to keep the fever at a stable temperature.

It never really has been a great tourist attraction. 10 years ago the monkeys were roaming around free and raiding nearby shops as well as attacking passerby's... Only in the last few years have the people been complaining. Also they are using the excuse about development in the area taking away the monkeys habitat. But anyone who has been there know that their habitat is the city. And no development would change that. They spouted off about sterilising the monkeys. But they were doing that also the past few years and it did not help. They need to change the city and make a home for all those monkeys if they really want to do something constructive. Perhaps relocate all monkeys to government land and make it a tourist spot. If they don't the monkeys will continue to rule this city as they do now.

I thought they were trying to stop or reduce the water splashing and make songkran more traditional.. they seem to be using the words soft power alot as an excuse. 4 days of driving around wet was quite a bit. I can not imagine being wary of water throwers to drivers for 3 weeks. It also does not say if it will be a national holiday for those 3 weeks... Will government offices be closed?

Pathetic how this person can manipulate the police and procedures even as a convict. This should set a precedence to others who are not filthy rich. I would really like to see other people get the same type of treatment this man is getting.

Why do your posts seem to always be there to put down the foreigner? Instead of being about the OP?

Hmm let's see... I have 2 Thai daughters and one Thai son.. daughters are on P3 and P4.. son is in Kg3.. I have been teaching in Asia and Thailand for 11 years.... My 3 year old knows foul language as seen on TV and in movies. Knowing the words for bad language does not give them full understanding.... My comments about no feeling at that age meant they have no pleasure. So for their not talking about it means they were threatened to keep their mouths shut about it... Clearly you do not know much about kids or what happens in Thai schools... I have 7 of my own kids. Have been teaching primary English for a very long time and still do it. Also, have seen and heard threats made to students not to tell family what happened in school that may be bad by a teacher. I have seen worse and know it was never told to families of students... You can live in your fantasy world but it will only last until you realize the power a Thai teacher holds over kids that age. Even a foreigner teacher. Thailand teachers. There is muchpre abuse that never gets learned about simply because the fear instilled into the student if they say things badly about what is seen or done. Including but not limited to molestation. It is one of the biggest problems in Thai schools. That and the abusive hitting of small children.

I don't understand whythe issue here. You can always cancel the ride stating the driver did not show up. There is no fee for that to you... Also it downgrades the driver and eventually they will lose their jobs. I have had drivers ask me to cancel many times.. I only contact the app customer service and explain this and they write a complaint against the driver.

This part really got me laughing. However, increasing concerns around low-quality non Thai knockoffs flooding the market have prompted the Thai government to take action. how can it be lower quality compared to Thai being it is the lowest quality in market? Every time I have bought Thai quality they come apart after only a few times wearing it. Surely Non-Thai quality can not be worse

Time to break out the shoe box full of 19 envelopes. He will get the parole and then pay his way out of les majesty conviction. What really amazes me is that if he had a Les majesty charge pending then why did he get a royal pardon reducing his sentence.. and why prosecutors are unable to go question him? The man may be in a hospital but he is supposed to still be in custody. So he has no rights to refuse police interrogation. All of this recent news seems to be a deflection to his being released in 2 weeks on parole.

Girls at that age would not have feeling and not understand what was happening.. this story says the girl had told her brother about it and the brother acted on the info.. also if reading other stories most Thai men threaten the young girls who are instilled since day one in school that the teacher can do anything they want to the kids.

From what I have read in other posts. Pedos are not treated badly by other prisoners here. I guess it is because most Thai men would do same if given the chance. In America the pedo would be bending over and taking it up the arse daily and forcibly in a prison and the guards would never be around or see anything.

Those big trucks are supposed to be in the left lane... I hope the driver is charged for his illegal actions causing bodily harm. Ohh wait, I forgot this is Thailand and being charged for driving offences means paying off a bribe.

Thai kids are taught from Primary age in school that they can do almost anything they want and not do what is told without any repurcussion or punishment or responsibility for any actions they do. So as they grow older they get into situations that lead to this happening and then run off knowing their will be little to no punishment or responsibility meeted out to them. What does anyone expect? It will only get worse as they grow older and are shown this.

Actually... The man who posted the initial comment retracted it and issued an apology for his misunderstanding. So in doing so it would not damage the reputation of the company. In fact it would make the company look good to its customers. Now though, by showing that they will prosecute for slander makes the company look so bad.

You are missing alot. They need to actually discipline without violence. They need to follow through with assignments and have grades reflecting actual work done. They need to get rid of the stupid values classes Prayut began. The Thai teachers need to stop teaching rote and allow the kids to be creative with their learning. Then they need to stop using tutoring as a means to collect cash by withholding information in classrooms causing the less apt kids problems. The parents need to stop using school as a babysitter during the day and actually hold their kids accountable. Many things need to change but never will.

What incentive is there to make babies when most Thai men leave their pregnant woman for another girl and when parents for the most part do not even raise their own kids. They send them to grandma. Then of course go to work as a bar girl haha. There is not any incentive like monetary gain and welfare assistance, medical or even child care for the single woman who actually want to work.

Just curious.. but did you get letter from ampur also stating you can take the child out? From what I recall that is also required.

That would be impossible if you were holding a retirement visa.

You are naive to believe and conclude this is a sad story. How many times have you all read stories in the news as reported by a Thai and later learned the woman or man lied to save face. Let them put all or any emoji they want to use to express themself. I am guessing this comment was made by someone who did not read the whole story and how this woman disappeared almost everyday until late in the evening. For all you know she was having an affair with the neighbors husband and can not say he is the father to the wife.

Actually unless rules have changed in the past years the limit is 20,000 mah and the airlines will check it at security checkpoint. You can verify limits with the airlines

If anyone recalls the last wage increase. Prices for food increased and quantity of food served became less yet that wage increase did not really change anyone's lifestyles. Instead Thailand household debt increased substantially as a result.. I wonder what this wage increase will do for the average person working legitimately and for the consumers.

I am curious if they will remove the classes taught in school about Prayut's core values lessons that take away from my kids real education.
