FWIW, Just saw these mystery deaths being covered by Anderson Cooper 360 on CNN. It entailed the same varying causes that have been speculated in the few Thai media sources that have covered it. Believe it would be in the best interest of Thai tourism to stop ignoring that it has happened and determine what caused the deaths. Thailand seems hellbent to destroy it's tourism industry when it needs it the most. With coups, airport closure, riots, LM charges against foreigners and most recently suspicious deaths, it seems as though Thailand is systematically chasing off tourists one country at a time. One can only hope there are no more mysterious deaths. That would surely attract much more negative publicity that Thailand's tourist industry can ill afford.
I retired here because I fell in love with the LOS years ago. Having said that, it's distressing to see what's happening these past few years.
Did I do good SJB?

Hi Ray , a pretty accurate description of the "facts" of which only those who are "mentally challenged " would disagree with,LOLOL.

Villager, Please tell me that we don't have any "mentally challenged" folks here.

Off topic: Have we met on another site a while back?

So, we started out discussing people who die on Phuket, inclusive of an American woman and a Norwegian person who did it on Ko Phi Phi, the OP then suggested we discuss drug trafficking in Vientiane, along with wrongful incarceration (assumedly in prison rather than a hospital), Pach talked of justice,Ray brought up cartoon characters, and now we're onto the airport closures and the effect on the tourism industry.

Would it be possible at this stage to ask what IS on-topic in a thread like this one? :lol:

Oops. We haven't talked about the weather yet. It's a bright and beautiful day here in BKK.

And..........There are still dead ferangs and little publicity in the Thai press.

Excuse me for asking, but I'm just curious over the syntax you used for the word "farang"?
Not quite sure who yet but you do indeed remind me of someone... :cheers:

My condolences. Was he wearing a crash-helmet, and if so what kind?

He fell off his motorbike and got runover by a truck! The truck ALWAYS wins these ones, (or most of the time anyway).
What's there to interview? And if you read Duma Key by Stephen ////// (2008), you might learn that there is anecdotal evidence of people shooting themselves in the head (once) and still surviving.

---o0o---

Maybe he could have spent that month at a Ju-Jitsu training camp?
