I actually like Nan, it is like Chiang Mai was before the hordes arrived....why spoil it by sending tourist up there oh well TIT

21 rounds really aren't that many especially considering that there were at least 2 shooters. I can see only two places they struck the windshield. Maybe they also hit it in the side.

The 9mm had to be a handgun which takes training and practice for accuracy, and I have no idea what the 11mm was. Maybe that's about translation. The only 11mm's I'm aware of are older Japanese and Belgium rifles but where would they get ammo for them? The closest thing I know of to an 11mm handgun would be a couple of old French and German guns.

Life is cheap in Thailand.

One of the most popular police pistols is the M1911A1 .45 ACP pistol which can be found readily and relatively cheaply in Thailand.

This also called Colt Government 11mm was carried by most Thai Police in the 80,s

It is interesting to see how this case develops, sure seem like someone is pulling a revenge of some kind...may he/she got a parking ticket

1 is Dead and cremated...

Seem like one of the " removed " police bosses from CSD just have died from a fall from high place...more in the newspaper that we cannot qoute

I am not British ( Thank God ), but I actually have noticed that your Ambassador Mark Kent have been as outspoken and straight as diplomaticly possible in the Koh Tao case

The statement from the Brits seems to have been lost in translation as usual in the Thai press, some may even call it propaganda..oh Well TIT

BRITISH AMBASSADOR CALLS ON PM GENERAL PRAYUTH

British Ambassador Mark Kent today called on Prime Minister General Prayuth to discuss a range of issues. He urged PM Gen Prayuth to fulfil his promise to restore democracy to Thailand by the end of 2015, and to maintain respect for human rights.

Ambassador Kent also raised tourist safety and security and the importance of maintaining an open, fair and transparent business environment for investors. He asked for assurances that British and other foreign investment in Thailand would not be jeopardised by new legislation.

Mr Kent affirmed that the UK stands ready to engage with Thai ministries and agencies, as well as the private sector and civil society, to take forward work in all these areas and on other issues of mutual interest.

@IgboChief

It is very nice to have people like you in this world, who do more than just sit behind the keyboard..Thanks

I would be a good idea to get him out of the 15 Bed room, also infection wise, further post swelling should be expected 24 Hour surveiliance for at least 6-7 first days recommended

My brother-in-law was hit twice in the back of his head with a Hoe while he was sleeping, some years ago...took them some 3 hours to get him to a local hospital ( Uttaradit) ..from here the call the family who were told that he was expected to pass soon...the family called us here in Europe and informed us that he would be dying soon..I allowed to suggest they get him to another hospital..so they arranged a transfer and did get him into an ICU, 1 hours drive away ( Sukhothai ) as he arrived there his had a cardiac arrest..so we got a call that he was dead...and a call an hour later that he was still alive....but unconcious due to swelling...he was in coma for 6 weeks..woke up could talk but was blind...now after 6 years he can talk normally, use the internet but short-sigted with a some restrictions..can only be in known surroundings etc....but he has a life..well kind off...

Forgot to mention that the person who hit him twice with the Hoe was his wife..she got arrested and spent 1 year in jail....released due to some family arraingments (huge payment to my mother-in-law from the family)....she is now the caretaker of my brother-in-law..they now live happily together...oh well TIT

I heard this story many times from various local sources over the years..even had a girl who claimed to be present at the summary trial may just be a local legend..

Back in the beginning of the end of the 70,s beginning of 80,s there were several episodes where US seamen was robbed in Pattaya, one particular incident that put an end to all this was when a sailor went to the appartment of a Katoy, (not knowing that there was a string attached)..anyway the Sailor ended up dead and robbed of his values, the Katoy fled the scene and returned to its home village to let things cool down.

US Navy put a bit of pressure on the local Cops and a few days later the Katoy was returned to Pattaya, - The local coppers gathered some residents ( some claim also a Navy Commander was present )and took the Katoy up the hill towards Jomtien where they held a summary trial and immediately put a bullet in its head..after that the robberies of US Navy kind of slowed down a bit..

Oh well TIT, Who knows

Yet another nail in the coffin of the country's credibility.

What Credibility ????

Here a suggestion

Adam Twilley , he's the guy working on a tourist visa as a dive master

Nothing to see here, move on.

Adam Twilley , he's the guy working on a tourist visa as a dive master?

Nothing to see here, move on.

He would not worry about that, They are normally warned before Immigration show up on the Island..well put is this way they were normally warned before Immigration showed up on the Island and now they are pissing their pants because the Island is in the spotlight, so maybe it wont be so easy for those working without permits anymore...kind of makes them desparate...and desparate calls for desparate measures..kind of explains those goofy posts

But now the name Adam Twilley will ( hopefully thanks to good IT) ring a warning bell by the next entry

Do this mean that you as a Farang will get deported if you get a jail sentence in a black case by a Thai Criminal Court ???

Here a recent example from Pattaya Criminal Court (Black Court Case 3921/2555 sentenced to 2 years in Jail )

Pattaya Daily News & Pattaya Today: http://www.pattayadailynews.com/pattaya-news/pattaya-newspaper-owner-sentenced-pattaya-court/

Who is Drew Noyes please? Never heard of him.Is he a good honest man?

He was a movie star, a test pilot and astronaut before he retired to Thailand I hear.

You forgot lion-tamer and 'gator-wrestler

Yes, he's a legend in his own mind...

and now a convicted criminal by the Pattaya Criminal Court (Black Court Case 3921/2555 sentenced to 2 years in Jail ) according to Pattaya Daily News & Pattaya Today and other reliable official news sources : http://www.pattayadailynews.com/pattaya-news/pattaya-newspaper-owner-sentenced-pattaya-court/

That was a good joke..

Here is another:

Mon is everywhere.

He either has a finger right in this pie, or if not knowledge of what happened.

and Sean must know more too. If loads of locals apparently know what went down (is that still the claim?) then Sean does too. Hope the UK cops speak to him and he spills the beans before they go to 'observe'

Sean is back communicating ..look at the comments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZEMf3iuEFs&feature=em-uploademail

What is that guy doing in Europe ??? We only want Quality Visitors

I have no idea how or when Sean got the cuts on his arm and leg but they don't look like any bike accident wounds I've seen before. The one on his leg doesn't look like a burn from bike exhaust pipe either.

He seems to fall on his feet with girlfriends and jobs everywhere. I hope local parents are keeping their bambini safe.

I did see posts on FB that confirmed the wounds from a motorbike accident before the murders, I am sure the poster do not want her name or business spread around...search and you will find

Here a pic from one of the 6 Burmese whom police asked a few question..enough evidence, further picture was handed to the Burmese Embassy

  @hardy-hemmingway: I think he knew who it was and needed a scapegoat. It would have been enough for me to "hag myself" in order for them to point the finger at me. My sister directed me to a Thai forum from a week before this all happened which I didn't know about at the time. It said I would be framed and so would the guy living in the cave in Samui. So somebody knew about this before I did.

  @thailand-people: I had that wound from the 9th. There are plenty of people who seen me with the cut every day in restaurants, bars and dive shops. When I left the message on his facebook a few days after (When Dave's name was released), I only meant that I knew the type of person he was. He was a great guy who would stand against wrong in any situation.

He's talking about that post on the German forum, where someone said a Thai friend of theirs from Koh Tao heard he was going to be arrested or what ever.

I know this because I was the one who added his sister on facebook and told her about it, a couple of days after that night he posted on facebook. I've spoke to her since but she said Sean doesn't know anything, and I don't really want to keep pressing on her.

I know that post from the German forum, I posted it here....it was posted around the time he was chased by Mon & Friend....a few hours plus/minus depending on timezones.....so not a week before all this happened......

It's definitely what he's referring to though, because what else could it be, it's exactly what the post on the German forum said, down to talking about the guy in the cave.

Maybe he just means his sister only showed him it a week or so ago, although I sent it to her about 3 days after the incident with him and Mon.

This is the translated message referred to...

Huhu ( Hey ) , a friend of mine who is living the last 10 year on Koh Tao ( he is Thai ) and work in the Bar Next Door ( Next2 ?) ..whatever

He has just written that the police has really caught the one in the cave and a Scot who is dependant on drugs and makes/plays music on that evening. Apparently someone should have seen him covered in blood that evening and remembered it today, because of that he was arrested today at 6 pm Thaitime His name should be Sean Mc Anna, he wanted to stay on Koh Tao for 6 months and had allready bought a motorbike, but wanted to sell it after the murders to get money

Very mysterious

Planning ???
