O.K. so that was rubbish and she clearly was wrong but don't take away from her credibility as a forensic pathologist.

She was also the one that claimed Rohingya refugees were transporting bomb making materials to southern insurgents, an allegation that few outside of Thailand took seriously but which appeared to justify the heavy-handed treatment of the refugees under Abhisit. (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia/2009/02/20092451910503370.html). She may otherwise be good at her job, but she has always struck me as a publicity hound ... the autobiography, the flamboyant style, the eagerness to talk to the media. Like no other forensic scientist I'm aware of... Even Thomas Noguchi (LA) did not chase the limelight like this one.

ahh yes I remember Thomas Noguchi....hehe....

555 - good one dave2!

4 hours? get real. take a minivan or a taxi.

planted? never know this days

go to Tim Sharky fb and read comments in recent post about motorbikes planting, and people share thier stories...

that creep should be deported.

NSY has probably combed through ThaiVisa reports and comments to get the big picture. They will have more suspects than the RTP I think.

Why would they even look at this site?

555555 thanx for the laugh. get real.

No. Really, why would they? Nothing original here. They could cut out the random chat by looking at the insane conspiracy theory sites. Why would they look here?

because professional homicide detectives look at EVERYTHING and analyze EVERYTHING. they rule nothing out.

The British may have no authority in Thailand, but when did Thai Village Head men have the authority to obstruct law and order? is that part of the new Junta Constitution?

How did he obstruct law and order? What I read is he met with police and he and his brother gave DNA samples and were cooperative with police as was the son who turned out to be in Bangkok when the murders occurred.

heres Nomsod shaking hands with David on the night of the murders...allegedly

notice the swinging arm 0.34

Not seeing it as it is really bad quality and the back of one Asian;s head pretty much looking like any other beyond clothing ...besides already determined it was not him in the video and already determined he was in Bangkok and absolutely no reason to believe he committed this crime and no reason to believe his family can control an entire police force in such a highly publicized case and one under such a microscope. Not to mention they got the two guys whose dna matched the crime scene and were confirmed to actually not just be on the island but around the crime scene around the time of the crime.

determined by whom? you?

JTJ, I still can't find the article but I have screenshots of the CCTV footage, how can I upload a photo into my post, anyone?

You have a single screen shot of one frame of a single video? He was interviewed by the press and he indicated there were numerous witnesses and CCTV video showing him in Bangkok at the time the murders were committed. Police confirmed they have video and school records and interviewed him before clearing him after publicly declaring him a prime suspect and somebody they believed were involved in the murder.

So, what does your single screenshot prove? Is it the same picture of the lawyer holding stills from video footage that the CSI Facebook folks had a field day with before going onto the whole nonsense phone conspiracy?

hahahaha 55555 LOL. thanks for the good laugh. there has not been one - not one of your "numerous witness" who can put the suspect in Bangkok at the time of the murders. you are not trolling but also lying.

.... This despite the fact that police early on showed they were not scared or intimidated by the headsman family. Like other early suspects they came out publicly stating the headsman's family were involved but like other earlier suspects, they were ruled out.

I dont know how you come to this conclusion, no DNA tests and intrest dropped and not mentioned again after a change of plod.

At least in part ruled out because the son was not on the island at the time of the murders.

are you for real? he is seen on the CCTV video footage running, after the time of the murders. did you miss that one????

JD, Enlighten me again... Why is The Daily Mail and MailOnline blocked

in Thailand? And no evading the topic please.

Off topic. They were blocked awhile ago, nothing to do with Koh Tao.

that is about the only thing that i can agree upon with this disruptive poster in each and every thread about this murder case posted on the forum.

Last year you couldnt go into a 7 Eleven without the Thai assistant greeting you with a mouthfull of metal and rubber bands.

Now hardly anyone has visible dental work, so either everyones teeth got better, or money is getting a lot tighter. I dont subscribe to the view that it has gone out of fassion, as you do still see them on what look to be richer Thais.

Those were many times cosmetic & not corrective braces. That fad died off.

Same for many Thai girls you see with glasses...believe it or not cosmetic plain glass

Kind of funny but my wife works with Uni girls so I see/hear all about their fads.

Not to discount what your implying about the economy though.

Funny thing is many of us from the west have seen this all before & it is so similar.

First the drive to own/have more...then the easy money/lending

Then the defaulting...then the banks overwhelmed with bad loans & over priced repossessed assets that none will

pay what is still owed on....then collapse

Difference here is if it occurs the same in Thailand they may not have the tools

to just create more debt as other countries did to bail their way...I wont say out but...deeper in yet still alive...barely

that is true. i thought it was funny when i learned that many of the kids wearing braces on their teeth were for 'fashion' only - or a sign of wealth. a girl showed me how they came off in 3 minutes time. only in Thailand... but also there was a boom of dentists doing ortho work on installment plans, or of course kids borrowing mom or dad's credit cards for 50K worth of cosmetic dentistry.

I can't understand why the stores in KSK import bedding materials, sheets and the like which must attract a huge tax and similar products are at Kad Luang for a fraction of the cost.

Yes, Kad Suan Keow is handy for some quick shopping and TOPS downstairs has a reasonable range, but none of the stores are where I go if I'm trying to stretch the pension to last the month out, with the exception of the mobile phone and accessories stores.

There is also the other consideration, that Chiang Mai might just be over-supplied with mega malls right now, and the city is hardly inviting as far as traffic and parking is concerned.

the reason Thais and foreigners prefer to buy their bedding materials in KSK is because of quality. the quality sold at Kad Luang is garbage. it won't last 18-24 months before it frays and becomes nothing more than rags to clean your house with. KSK has sales 2 or 3 times each year on their bedding with many nice sets imported from Japan at mark downs of up to 70%. yes 70%. and those sets of bed sheets will last more than 4 or even 5 years (350-500 thread count fabric).

there are many Chinese tourists here right now. they get together in the afternoons and swim, go on walks, ride bicycles, etc. and go out and stuff themselves in the evenings. shouldn't be too difficult to go to Taphae and see many groups congregating. i was there this afternoon and there were MANY. i gave directions to 2 different friendly Chinese ladies. get out of bed and into the city where there are people. laying in bed and you will spiral downward.

if you have not traveled alone before then it takes some getting used to. fortunately this is a very friendly city. in Bangkok it would be difficult; not here. get out and be positive.

"90-day check-ins

All foreigners in Thailand must check-in with Immigration every 90 days. They can do so in person at the Immigration office, or submit the forms by registered mail or via a third party. Police Colonel Rutjapong said the Chiang Mai Immigration office is almost at capacity, and encouraged people not to report there in person if possible."

been saying this for years, no need to be going to Immigration for 90-day when you can do it by post. now Immigration is requesting that people report by post.

I'm a bit surprised at how long it is taking the British police to get here. Why weren't they prepared to leave at a monemts notice just in case they were given the go-ahead?

get real. British detectives are already here/have been here for a long time. the "official" team will be coming.

I called the Cabaret Theatre and was told there is currently a show at 8 pm and it is primarily ladyboys.

sounds like a particular interest eh?

All seem to agree Duke's is Promenada's anchor store...

Actually I would think Uniglo is the anchor at Promenade if thinking in a traditional sense.

I guess an anchor like Robinsons or Central is good? But if I go to Airport or Central Festival those stores may have browsers but I sure do not

see many buyers usually as prices are higher. Central in Festival is like a giant morgue of a store the 2 times we have been

i also think Rimping is the "anchor store". but Dukes is a close 2nd.

uniqlo? falangs actually shop in there? looks like a bunch of cheap, junk clothes with no style to me. Chinese tourists seem to be their main target audience.

the 2 malls where people actually shop in is KSK and Airport Plaza. you can see people carrying handfuls of bags there. not in the other malls.

we also like Promenada especially the cinema, Dukes, Ragu, and Rimping. we often meet friends there for a drink or two on weekends. the local music is quite pleasant and drinks not too expensive.

the maya offers the least IMO - but the cinema is nice.

There is a shop that sells very nice silk scarves in the Night Bazaar - been there for years. Sorry name totally escapes me.

In main Night Bazaar building (up steps). On the right hand side about 50m from the front. She also has the shop in the front unit but her really nice scarves are in the shop just behind which is her original unit.

i think that's the Muslim lady who has been there for years. OP you can buy a scarf for 3K Bath, but if you send a Thai friend to shop for you, the same scarf will be 550 Bath. 100% high-quality Thai silk. Seen the Japanese pay 2500 then a Thai comes along and pays 550. no joke.

With the language differences it will be tough for the Britcops to get to the truth....unless of course the Britcops picked to come speak and read Thai!

the British police will have fluent Thai and Burmese detectives or assistants with them. they are world-class police. they would not neglect this,

and for all the people doubting, the British police are already here, just like the police from other countries are here. they are always here observing the criminals from their own countries, looking for fraudsters, pedos, drug dealers and so forth committing International crimes. i wouldn't be surprised if one of them is already sitting at cafes, etc. waiting for Nomsod to leave a cigarette butt, or snag his drinking glass, etc. and collect some DNA. the British, Americans, Aussies, Germans, Dutch, Russians, etc. all have field ops in places in the world (like Thailand) where illegal activities occur. they keep a very low profile. there was an article one time about 2 or 3 years ago on how many American DEA agents, specialists in nabbing pedophiles, etc. are stationed in Chiang Mai alone...

as to the jurisdiction....well as others said, this is Thailand. but the British police can expose a cover up.

The world according to Hollywood. Total reality............. not.

wow you are ignorant and in denial. it didn't go unnoticed that JTJ gave you a "like". birds of a feather....

also it is not 2K Bath for one day. it is 500 Bath per day - up to 2K max.

No, it it 2k for late reporting. 500 Baht/day is for overstay up to 20k maximum. From the Immigration website.

If a foreigner staying in the kingdom over 90 days without notifying the Immigration Bureau or notifying the Immigration Bureau later than the set period, a fine of 2,000.- Baht will be collected. If a foreigner who did not make the notification of staying over 90 days is arrested, he will be fined 4,000.- Baht.

i stand corrected.

I hope, for the British cops sake, that they will be allowed to carry weapons.

As a rule of thumb, British cops don't carry in the normal course of their duties.

Why would they want to carry a weapon whilst on holiday?

some people are dense. the British police are not coming on "holiday". now go back to sleep.

HUH?

Hit by a massive blow to the head In a blitz attack and there is no fighting back.

This post is a perfect example of why you lack credibility on this forum. If you had taken the time to inform yourself about this case, you would know, as almost everybody else on these threads does, that David was killed by multiple stab wounds to the head and neck most likely from a punch knife, not a massive blow to the head. There is no way he was killed by a hoe. At the start of this case the police even said that it wasn't a hoe that had killed him.

You have probably posted more than any other on this case yet you don't even know this? I find that hard to believe.

This is just one of the many glaring inconsistencies in the current police line. They have said so many different things and have been shown to be at best incompetent, yet you still apparently trust them. Would you trust them with your life? I certainly wouldn't. I wouldn't trust them with the lives of these two poor, defenceless Burmese guys I've never met either.

What reason do you have for continually parroting the current police line? Is there some benefit to you if the two Burmese are convicted?

You said in another thread that you live on Koh Tao. Could this be in any way related?

Do you know more about this than you are willing to admit?

If he does in fact live on Koh Tao then it is interesting. But I don't recall him saying that.

I really enjoy people that make things up. Including the "punch knife" theory. Not to mention me living on KOH TAO.

Evidence suggests that David died from drowning after being incapacitated by massive head wounds. I am not a forensic pathologist. I am certain that seahorse isn't either. I do know from experience that wounds are not always caused the way amateur sleuths think.

it now seems almost certain the wounds to the male victim's face and neck were caused by the stingray tail ring, same as the Thai lady who was assaulted by the same piece of filth.

i've been doing 90-day by post for many years. i usually send it off 2-3 days before it is due. a few times i've posted it the day before. never stayed up all night checking the tracking either. never once been returned. 15 days before? unlikely.

also it is not 2K Bath for one day. it is 500 Bath per day - up to 2K max.

also - don't use EMS because EMS takes longer to get there. registered post usually will arrive the next day - 2 days max. Ems goes to Lamphun first, then comes back to C.M. can take up to 5 days. it's good for some things because it has more insurance. don't need any insurance for some photocopied paper!
