I had to get mine from Amazon UK then get them sent over.Cheap as on there.

He added that he "could not comprehend" why his father had been interviewed and initially suspected by the |police, despite his cooperation and even assistance in providing police with leads and tip-offs.

With that being the case why has there been little or no progress in this case and the subsequent arrest of the offenders?

Deputy national police chief Pol General Somyot Poompanmoung said Worra-phan and the other man, owner of Intouch Pub, were interviewed and had never been apprehended as suspects. He said police investigation into the murder had been plagued by rumours and unauthorised information spread on the social media.

Deputy national police chief Pol General Somyot Poompanmoung said Worra-phan and the other man, owner of Intouch Pub, were interviewed and would never be apprehended as suspects.

He said police investigation into the murder had been plagued by rumours (solid facts) and unauthorised (positive leads) information spread on the social media (the unpalatable truth).

Large bulky white envelopes were also suspected to be impeding the investigations process along with the insurance cover provided by certain families on the island to protect their self interests and kith and kin.

In the other newspaper's report the BIB have blamed social media for ' confusing ' investigators but they seem to be doing quite a good job of that themselves.

In blaming everybody and anybody except themselves the BIB don't mention all the irresponsible and insensitive statements coming from within their own ranks including the rush to announce more suspects then having to admit they're not linked.

So far this has been nothing like a textbook investigation unless the textbook's from the ' How Not To ' range.

Probably working from the textbook

Investigating For Dummies.

I still say the supposed Tao police chief should be booted out for him dismissing any Thai being involved and not acting faster at locking down the island.Or did he know something?

I just wish we could influence other TV members & holidaymakers to boycott this hellish place.

Do you mean Thailand or Koh Tao?

Pee in his whiskey Then sit there with an inane Thai smile on your face whilst he drinks it.

This is in poor taste. This is not a time to trivialize the murder of two young people who came to Thailand to have a holiday.

I am not trivializing it.

Just angry how the whole thing has been and is being handled .

Two young people brutally murdered, and all Thai authorities are concerned about is, if the tourist$ will keep coming!!

That really shows, how they value "us" here!!

Totally agree.

What a sick ,pathetic race.

Comments like this are no better.

So what do you think about it then?

it will have zero effect

Zero effect huh? I personally know of three cases of friends back home and friends of friends who have changed their plans. One case where two friends were coming at the end of the month, one has pulled out because of this so the other has to come alone. I know of a couple who had a Christmas holiday booked here, not anymore. And another group of friends were thinking of planning a holiday here soon but now they have decided against it. Zero effect my behind

I know they really think we are as stupid as them.

Apart from the barbaric murders of this young couple.

Who wants to visit an Island full of police.

You never know what you are going to be accused of here.

nanai rd the hub of patongs budgeting perverts,lowlifes, losers, and ageing alcoholic pensioners.

Which Guest House in Nanai do you stay in then?

Considering the nationality of the deceased it is rather a wonder as to the passivity of the Brit Embassy.

Rather than the FBI being called in why not Scotland Yard? Who have a track record assisting police forces who are under resourced, overwhelmed or, just plain out-of-their-depth.

This murder has been extremely poorly handled by all those concerned.

Poorly handled is a grave understatement.It's been a farce from the beginning.

Especially the so called police chief of Koh Tao saying that no Thai is capable of doing such a thing and letting them just leave the island.I can not write on here what I think of this clown.He should be dismissed.

Good read here

It appears difficult for many TV posters to comprehend a world where they are not the center of attention.

Cannot grasp that many Thai nationals livelihoods depend on tourism and they might be anxious to learn Britons' reaction to the gruesome murders.

It would be better printed in the Thai papers then.

what is it with this country and the death penalty?

They think it sounds macho.

The parties arnt the problem, its the murderers and scum that attend..... police these places with uniformed police properly would be a better solution, not leave it to the local mafia

If its a tourist location then there needs to be a visible police presence to protect tourists... duh

IMO banning is a Good move, run and attended by drug dealing drunken <deleted> thai and westerners must piss all the locals right off, short term it might hurt but in the long term ,,, good move, no doubt The parties are now a problem if there wasn't the parties there wouldn't be the problem or am i missing something ?

Yes you are missing the point That it is the locals who run these parties and they are worth big big money.So it will be back to normal in a few weeks.

The Daily Mail website should permanently be block to safe guard all innocent Thais.

Yeah !!! Exactly like from George Orwell.. Let's block all media which can have any critical opinion about LOS and Innocent Thais... "innocent" ??? I mean... seriously ???

Obviously has no idea what so ever why the Mail was blocked.

Yea innocent the way the hack ,stab and shoot each other.

What chance has a foreigner got out here.

Thaibev sponsors many events including the world volleyball at Karon I wonder if they are going to complain about that also?

Or will that hurt the tourist trade?

Here is a few more places to avoid if you don't like being ripped off.

I have been to a couple of places on here a while ago and showing my Thai License ect was just met by smarmy smile and then ignored.

5 times the price of a Thai.

I would not set foot on place.Never visit anywhere with such a racist policy

There are a lot of rich Thai people now and not so many rich farang.

Did mine in Phuket last month.The only thing different was no med certificate needed.

Have a look here.

Patong charges 500 Baht
