Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
Thanks francois but i'm already thinking along those lines as he goes to Uni in Udon and there's several good private Hospitals there so i've asked him last week to speak to 2 of them and get back to me asap.

This is cheaper than the 3 shots for Hep B over a period of months. Suggest a hospital.

Maybe spell Isaan correctly so he understands what you mean when you say the word?
Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
Is there a "correct" way to spell Issan in English? and even if there is, how does that help a Thai guy know what you're talking about? surely for him it would be your pronunciation?
Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
Resurrecting an old thread....
I would like to add getting him vaccinated for 'Diphtheria' to this list...my BF was struck down by this a few weeks ago and it was very nasty...he was unconscious for several days at one point and we were lucky to get him into a good private hospital quickly.
Irony is I did get him vaccinated for Hep A, Hep B & Typhoid last year.

Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
Good idea Alex; will put that on my to-do list for the bf. I doubt that he has gotten that vaccine along with the usual mix of tetanus and pertussis which are combined in one shot.
Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
no problem Francois....hmmm yes Tetanus that's another one to definitely add to the list also. Do you mind me asking...do you usually get your BF's inoculations carried out at a Government or Private hospital ?
Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
Private hospital; Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital.

Interesting that this topic has resurfaced given that cdnmatt's latest musings suggest that the best thing you can do for yourself if involved with an Esarn boy is say good-bye.
Re: Best thing you can do for a Issan boy?
