A dream holiday to Thailand has turned into a nightmare for a Wishaw man after he ended up in intensive care on a ventilator.
Army veteran Robert Kessell, 66, embarked on a three-week solo trip on November 24 to the Southeast Asian country renowned for its tropical beaches and amazing nightlife.
However, a fortnight into his stay he began to have difficulty breathing and was rushed to Pattaya City Hospital where medics thought it was touch and go if he would survive.
