I knew him, he was a sort of long term tourist who moved between Europe, India, Nepal and here. He looked terrible, like a corpse. I knew he smoked weed and drank, he was often completely incoherent. I suspected he was into heavier stuff but he never talked about it. He usually stayed in BKK1 and seemed to have plenty of money, he had a Ducati motorbike that I couldn't understand how he controlled. Anyway RIP you crazy fucker.

No mention of the guesthouse. The name is usually mentioned.

Was it less of a guesthouse and more of an "Inn & saloon"?

What is this showing positive for? The product code is DOA74005 Panel-3 Test but I can't seem to find what 3 drugs it is supposed to detect.

Gonna venture out on a limb here and say Meth.

It's a blurry pic, but think it says "MET" positive and one of the negative results is maybe "AMP" - and cannot make out the third.
