Thais are now calling it Koh Phe which means Goat Island instead of Turtle Island.

Or do they mean Koh Pee which is ghost island.

Really I think they should just go all out and call Serial Gang Rape and Murder island; and change there municipal logo to a skull and cross bones.

One-night

Amazing the foreigners who come to thailand and believe that if they are unlawfully killed there will be a thorough,balanced,detailed investigation. The country doesnt carry out such for its own folk so why do you think your family will get anything different?

I think the main complaint is blaming it on the people who can't defend themselves and protecting the killers. That mostly doesn't happen where we come from.

I cannot really understand why the Myanmar Government are not being pro-active to protect the rights of their citizens in this case.

Very strange

That was tongue in cheek right? That's why emoticons are sometimes necessary.

Definitely better than rat.

I have had my Lifan Cross for 4 years now, certainly I have gotten my money out of it. For me it makes complete sense because I use it almost exclusively off road as a farm bike, I am quite sure I will keep it forever. It has needed a few repairs, I got a new starter for it this year. But the kick start works fine and I almost didn't bother. Other than than I had a bad wheel bearing right from the start (long story) and The front brakes are permanently squeaky.

Oh, and I got a different throttle because the original is a horrible design and it kept wearing out where the cable slides through the plastic. I think my headlight is still on again off again, I don't know because I never use it at night.

I have likely put about 7000 into repairs for it in 4 years. I think if a had a mainstream bike I would have had some repairs by now too, but who knows.

That being said, I quit using the bike for long rides. I simply do not enjoy it. The cornering is horrendous because I now have aggressive knobby tires on it. But even before that, A 3 hour cruise seemed quite demanding.

If you need a bike for cruising, this is not it.

If you mostly make short runs this bike is quite suitable.

The bike is better off road than on. But as a hill climber (I am talking serious hill climbing) it can do it - but 1st gear is too tall You will soon get tired of trying to keep the revs up and the speed down on difficult off road areas. This also effects engine braking which on this bike lets you go too fast on tricky downhills, forcing you too brake too much. Thist could be fixed by changing a sprocket.

I love climbing on this bike, but I am deathly afraid of coming back down after some bad experiences. You can't have bike that does everything well. I have pushed this bike very hard off road, I always wore out before it did.

Hopefully coming to a 7/11 near me.

Then you can take the little lady for a romantic dinner at 7/11

Only if she brings her wallet.

Yes but Dr. Pornthip is a darling of the army it seems so there still could be bias. I hope not, Thailand could sure use a bit of fair and honest justice about now.

Ummmm Donuts

The bigger they are...

I didn't know there was any trouble in the sleepy little CR forum, I thought it was well behaved and courteous.

But then there isn't much reason to visit. We just don't have much going on. Me included.

Here here!

Quite a good pointing picture. He at them, them at the cash. It's like an alien ritual we will never completely understand.

Ahhhh!

Is it coincidental that Sean is wearing a punch knife around his neck?

this version shows a little more detail.

This is not of course any kind of proof, but it certainly makes you think. Perhaps it's the kind of thing you wear when you want to fit in with the AC crowd

As other people have said.. Not a knife

Thanks for clearing that up, it really made no sense for him to wear a knife, days after a murder.

Here is Sean`s Google+ page. Alot of pictures from his previous visits to Koh Tao.

Can anyone make out what the yellow stickers in the background says?

Sean also worked at Karma Bar during his previous visits to Koh Tao.

It says: For Sean Where's Chai?

Huh?

Love it. Come Koh Tao, we don't have Ebola!

That is the top of the list of pros, I would hate to see the list of cons.

Perfect 10
