Why did I read the same public announcement a year ago?

It is not a cursed island, it is not a coincidence, nor is it the underbelly of Thai society.

 

Koh Tao and the crimes there are the result of too much wealth generated in a small place in too short a time, and a classic example of how a society struggles to adapt to too much power. Is it unique? Nope. Look at the modern history of states in the Middle East that became fabulously wealthy very quickly due to oil and then lost all moral bearings: can anyone state where the 9-11 terrorists came from? Or, do some research on lottery winners around the planet; the data shows that huge wealth, acquired quickly, often as not leads to horrible consequences.

 

Simply put, the people of Koh Tao got too much money too fast, and in a land where having money is King, they accumulated too much power to suffer any consequences of their actions. And, we all know the phrase ' power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely'.

 

If ever there was a place that needed outside intervention for its own good, it is Koh Tao. Sadly, I don't think it'll occur and we will be reading about 'unexplained events, accidents, and... er... ahem... odd coincidences' for many years to come.

 

These deaths are a cry for help from a society that can't handle itself, but no one will listen.

 

Sad. Truly sad. For every one.

 

 

And if we go back down to earth, a serial killer on the island wouldn't be a more logical explanation?

Luxury hotel,must have working CCTV,if in trouble and scream there should be staff

to hear that and respond?

If an electrical problem it will be easy to determine,something must have shorted

and breakers must have been tripped.

Lets just wait and see what further happens?

Were they the only guests there?

Need to look at the son?Do they have more children?

How long have they stayed there?When was the last time other people have used the pool?

It could be   an accident,lets just wait and see.

 

 

In my experience if they had the same genius in the Hotel as the electricity that had made the installation of my swimming pool with an independent electric line of the house forgetting to apply a CCTV it is possible and in any case you are right and easy to see the cause after, and surely the people who have removed them from the pool will have seen fit to turn off the power before entering the pool.

However, when there are big capital and happy heirs, everything looks very suspicious.

Faulty electrical pump or lights would also be my guess.

As happened to my swimming pool, I only saved myself because I realized that the automatic cleaning time had not started as I had planned it.

The vaccines are not experimental they are approved for emergency use, then approved.

These are just words anyway, they are all remarkably safe and effective. Other than legitimate medical exclusions there is no reason to not get vaccinated other than selfishness and ignorance.

I think you haven't understood the term emergency use yet, but if you want to get the vaccine go ahead

I searched and searched, also read ~ 5 different articles, no mention.

 

I get why the regime would want to withhold this information, after all they treat the people like buffalo. But better to identify the vaccine, and the rarity of this response, than hide it. 

 

 

You have no right to know because you receive an experimental vaccine so only medical researchers have the right to inform in a couple of years

Early polls indicate that Europeans will go to Southern Europe for holidays while half of the population will take holidays in their own country. Asia is no longer on the agenda.
