showing you age there keith, people got there as A, it's part of the backpacker route B, it's the cheapest place to get your open water diving cert C, it's an idyllic island to get IG photos, pissed out of your brain & laid!

because he's corrupt(ed) or senile ?

really keen to hear how it works, i've been here 20 yrs so good to compare notes!😏

ok, please elaborate

do you say that from personal experience?

very few at a guess. the Island will not suffered in any way from this news and didnt from previous sensationalised stories, kids don't care and if anything it's put the Island on the map for older crowd with families.

yes, best way to grow your business is to kill the tourists bringing you the money! 🤡

have you any idea what that is?

if you look at the thread here about the burmese guys appeal you will find a link in there to a uk site regarding Theos body being found, i believe it was the mail online who ran the story back then, maybe the 1st or 2nd April. i cannot remember exactly, feel free to check.

only for you and a select few Sue, not everyone tries to see suspicion round every corner!!

incorrect Sue, it was already in the daily mail days after it happened and a thread on here.

it just goes to show people can die in all manner of random ways while intoxicated (my assumption) not everything has to be suspicious!

no lines on the road, so it's not an official crossing, he sould have let the car pass. sounded murican to me.

i have tried a few searches but nothing comes up. it would be a lot easier if you posted a link, i've been on & off Tao since 2003 and not once heard of a policemans being shot at the pier. i think perhaps you got mixed up with somewhere else.

Allegedly!, i've not heard anything official regarding this. and nothing to say where the daily mail information has come from either

i didnt spend any time in NZ, but when in Aus people would get refused entry to places if they looked too drunk, mind you, when backpacking we did get through a few goonbags a night, but never anywhere near Thailand levels.

there isn't, you shouldn't believe everything you read !

the island has been extremely busy since before Christmas, 10's of thousands of people come n gone. this is the only death i've heard of in that time, well, there have been numerous motorbike deaths mostly alcohol related. and lots of emergency evacuations to samui hospital,.

nothing has been kept under wraps, it was reported on 2 days after it happened, there was already a thread about it here, it's between the family and embassy and respect should be given to them until the autopsy is done or investigation concluded.

he wasn't stuffed in anywhere, it is an open stormwater drain, quite a large one too, that is an over active imagination on your part!! there is nothing official to say he even had a phone with him for it to be missing.

the rules in Thailand are very lax, i very much doubt people can get as wasted in NZ as they can here, i certainly couldn't in AUS., also KT is tiny, the amount of tourist is 1000's per week, unfortunately some will get in trouble through alcohol and misadventure , like this guy did.

i have read on another FB page that the girlfriend has gone to Australia, which seems odd, given the circumstances and reporting of their 10 year relationship etc, i can only assume there has been misreporting somewhere down the line.

glad to see some fair reporting for a change, and that alcohol was mentioned, this is usually totally ignored.

why, what could you possibly get to understand about an island by staying 1 day?

it was reported a few days after, in the mirror and daily mail, and on here, why would you want to look through his or his girlfriends profile? perhaps the family have made things private.... it is after all their business, not yours or anyone elses.
