Oh give it a rest, Frank. It was not reported anywhere apart from social media.

The Mail Online did not run the story then.

Yes, nitrous oxide inhaled through a balloon, or a canister, for recreational purposes. They are thinking about banning it in the UK because of the damage it does to the brains of young people.

Yes, even "hippie crack" was mentioned.

No it wasn't reported in the UK press a few days after. Stop spreading misinformation.

No it wasn't.

Again, Frank, I am not "Sue". I am neither of the two people you referred to as scumbags on another recent Koh Tao thread.

My name is not "Sue", Frank. I'm not the person you think I am. Sorry to disappoint you. And, it was not reported in the Daily Mail days after it happened. That was different article about the two Burmese wanting a review of their case, which was followed by another article detailing some of the deaths of tourists that have occurred on Koh Tao. The Daily Mail only picked up on this latest incident at the same time as the Mirror, whose article is quoted in the OP.

"Death Island" does have a certain reputation.

The folks on the infamous pub crawl were not only downing buckets of booze but partaking of "hippie crack" as well, according to the press reports. No wonder they all end up wasted.

The information I've seen is that the GF is Australian and has gone back there. She appeared to have been travelling around SE Asia before this happened. Now we hear that she is a teaching assistant in the UK, which is news to me. Her posts in tribute to Theo were on Instagram which I presume has now been made private. The news of this death was most certainly suppressed and the British press have only recently been tipped off.

He's back alright. He likes to advertise the KT pool parties and raves on his FB page.

You got it in one! The Thai press hasn't picked up the story either, as far as I know. This incident was known about not long after it happened but there was deadly silence in the media.

I'm sure he loves living the high life on money he's conned out of others.

It's not an elephant "sanctuary" (for mistreated animals) when you have to rent them. It's just another money-making tourist attraction. 🙄
