May 28, 20242 yr I hear Gop of Nice Boys has succumbed to an infection (TB?) in a hospital in Suphanburi Friday. The cremation is to be Wednesday. He was the boyfriend of Kong, a waiter there. He cared and lived with him until his passing from TB in 2019 (during CoVid). From the pictures of GOP, it just looked like bad acne and I didn't think it was serious. (And now his friend dumps gambling advertisments above the Facebook announcement- how rude!) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100067494271039
May 29, 20242 yr What is going on? This succumbing to TB thing is occurring way more than it should be. Wasn't TB supposed to have been eradicated back in the 1930s or 1940s ? https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=970904385038613&set=a.507281118067611 Do any of you in the know understand why this is occurring several times each year to our guys ?? Please illuminate us - as I find it very disturbing and when I ask my Thai friends about why this is happening frequently, they just shrug their shoulders.....
May 29, 20242 yr Popular Post is sad....guess we all need to be careful. I think it'll only get worse in the future with all the vaccine deniers not giving their kids vaccines that many of us have taken to help eradicate some diseases.... https://wellcome.org/news/tuberculosis-curable-and-preventable-why-do-millions-still-die
May 29, 20242 yr Tuberculosis is a frequent complication of HIV+. I had one Laos friend die from TB who had HIV another friend with HIV also has TB.
May 29, 20242 yr Very sad. Golf was very nice guy. He was a great pool player. I spent time with him in the bar whenever he was there. The other boys told me he was positive. I was surprised they told me as usually they don’t get involved with informing falangs about personal Thai matters.
May 29, 20242 yr TB is often the first indication of Hiv+. I don't know whether this is the case now but I recall reading about strains of TB that are resistant to the usual medications across the world. I remember a Thai guy some years back who made zero progress while under the common (perhaps cheap?) medication at his hospital but was able to find the money to buy a more effective one which worked quickly.

June 2, 20242 yr Author His name was Wanchai. His Nickname was Gop. Nicknames are often given to make them unappealing to spirits that may steal them. Ex: "Non" means "worm". Ever known a person with "Moo" as a nickname?https://www.bananathaischool.com/blog/thai-nicknames/

June 3, 20242 yr On 6/2/2024 at 10:21 AM, orson said: What does GOP mean? Gop usually means Frog. Drug resistant TB is an increasingly serious problem and very difficult to treat. If Gop was co-infected with HIV, the odds were stacked against him.
June 4, 20242 yr Author Low body weight is also a factor in TB. Both Gop and Kong were very skinny, as many Thai are.
July 25, 20242 yr Author OMFG https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0ygx1LYdAHLbd44azx1Ynj7nbC3jRSZfgGz7LzWeknfMwpao6sWU59o5ZZNVLRRF3l&id=100067494271039&from_close_friend=1¬if_id=1721895517709149¬if_t=close_friend_activity&ref=notif Hello, this is Golf. I apologize for everything I lied to you about. I went to work abroad. I was deceived into working abroad. I let my friend talk and asked for money from you to give to me to pay for the expenses. Going abroad is required.It costs a lot. The person who took me to work said that the money was good but they didn't give me anything first. I sincerely apologize. Can you come back and talk like before? I beg you, I won't lie to you again. Great. Now bring back KONG.
July 25, 20242 yr Great to heat Gop is alive but questions lingers - who was cremated on that Wednesday mentioned in OP. I know dead body but whose ?
July 25, 20242 yr Honestly?! What dicks, presumably they were in it together. I know there is a level of desperation etc, but they had clearly established a positive reputation which must have been with more than just the posters here and they have just trashed that without consideration for the upset that it has caused those who were fond of them(and might have helped them if they had just been honest).
July 26, 20242 yr This is shocking to me. But I’m glad he’s alive. I found it hard to believe he would go downhill so quickly. Now it makes more sense that he was lying. I wonder if his boss at Nice boys would have told me the truth of his situation.

July 28, 20242 yr I’m still a bit confused. T0ol1, did Gop only post on his Facebook page? It says content not available. Or did he message you personally? Who lent him money to go abroad? Will he be working at Nice Boys again? So many questions but are there any answers?
