One factor could be the climate.
Euros and most westerners are not sued to the heat/humidity combination.
Add age, stress from new environment/cultural differences, health issues, alcohol, medication and going out more often than back at home...recipe for prahok.

Yes and no. Heat reduces blood pressure by opening veins and arteries, diet and more exercise due to good weather affects diabetes, humidity helps with some lung disorders.that genius wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 7:41 am One factor could be the climate.

After 18 months here on no meds my doc was amazed when I got home and my BP was normal and so was my blood sugar. Within 6 months I was on medication again.
There is a caveat though. recently doctors warned that cutting out you blood pressure medication entirely can be dangerous because it can spike at night in hot climates, and over doing it in the heat can also stress the heart as much as in the cold so.... Tons on google about it

It seems I am the only one here who happened to know him personally. All this speculation on boards about people who died is really absurd, at least most of the time. Nobody knew him, but off you go. Why do people always have the urge to put their worthless 2 cents in.
Harald lived way out in the boondocks, so to speak, was building a small resort on an isolated stretch of beach, and right on the beach too, about 25km from SHV. He invested quite a bit of money in this place, but wasn't finished yet. As the picture shows he was quite a heavy guy and did have health problems. He was in early retirement. It could have been a stroke or a heart attack; at least it was a peaceful death in his sleep. He was a nice guy, so RIP.

Why? They're too busy not answering the phone or responding to email... and closing at noon to go off and socialize with champagne & caviar at other embassies.
You could be next.

I don't really care about the cause of death. Never do. Since you are the only one on here in the know, not a worthless 2 cents kind of guy like the rest of us, what nationality/nationalities did Herold/Harald Gummistiefel hold?rubberbaron wrote: ↑Tue Feb 13, 2018 11:46 am It seems I am the only one here who happened to know him personally.
