Good gosh, wish the best for the old bloak, God speed man. I would like to request the Thaiger run a similar front page news article for each and every person who is in a Thai hospital, with a 50/50 chance of living or dying, who needs financial assistance… which is likely 90% of the people who are hospitalized… just saying! We are all equal, thus each suffering family should be given the exact same news coverage and publicity for financial assistance. Thank you Thaiger.
