t0oL1 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 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 reader, Ruthrieston and vinapu 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmfj2648 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 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.....

Popular Post floridarob Posted May 29 Popular Post Share Posted May 29 is sad....guess we all need to be careful.

kokopelli3 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 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. siriusBE, Daddy415, floridarob and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonen Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 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. jamiebee and t0oL1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Londoner Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 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. jamiebee, floridarob and kokopelli3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t0oL1 Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 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".

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.

t0oL1 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Low body weight is also a factor in TB. Both Gop and Kong were very skinny, as many Thai are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. khaolakguy, vinapu and Olddaddy 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinapu Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Great to heat Gop is alive but questions lingers - who was cremated on that Wednesday mentioned in OP. I know dead body but whose ? t0oL1, reader, floridarob and 1 other 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaolakguy Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 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).

Shonen Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shonen Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
