Dengue fever is a life-threatening disease, but most sufferers will recover if they receive a timely diagnosis and proper treatment. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case for the late Karen activist living in Phetchaburi's Bang Kloi, Gib Tonnamphet.
Gib, 44, who had been fighting for Bang Kloi residents' right to return to their ancestral land deep in upper Bang Kloi, succumbed to the disease on May 24.
