You simply can't make this stuff up... Thailand, hub of delusion! ????

Any chance the son some how found out the cctv's were down prior to changing hotels.   Did they make the first hotel mad by not paying for the full booked stay minimums?  Renactment, was the son forced to be there.  If innocent that would be quite a dramatic process to be forced to go through again.  Would a uncharged HiSO have to do a reenactment?   Wouldn't the family lawyer fly down ASAP?  

Two great extra points! Did the son find out about the non-working CCTVs prior to the "tragedy", and perhaps they really p#$$ed off the owners and staff of the first resort to a point where face was lost, or perhaps their new choice was a resort of an enemy clan and someone wanted to make a "statement"???

Given the gruesome murders and "accidents" happening to foreigners on that godforsaken rock in the past, one knows that on Koh Tao you could be killed for the most ridiculous reasons, i.e. looking at someone the wrong way, making someone lose face, being into a (preferably young and blonde) girl one of the island's mafia kids has already "booked", opening a business (or planning to do so) that would "interfere" with a business owned by the rock mafiosi... etc...

Perhaps the unfortunate family came not only for holiday but to do business there as well and talks turned "sour", or their plans were found to be "too intrusive and ambitious"???

Food for thought, folks, food for thought...

Really?

That mean he was separated from his mobile phone. And possibly for more than an hour!

I don't think I know many young people who would allow that to happen.

Correct and good point! If are kayaking around some nice reefs in clear water, you'd have your phone in one of those watertight photo bags and try to get some Nemo photos, no? Leaving the phone behind is very, very, very unusual... also given the fact they certainly were businessmen and billionaire certainly would hate to miss a (possibly important) call... If it smells like a rat, it possibly is a rat...

This way the phone can't be used to show where he was located at the time. Unless there are eye witnesses to say they seen him walking on the beach - then this needs to be pushed further.

 

It's very sad and very strange. ????

Also, a good point!

Maybe a minor point....but how does the staffer know it was the son calling out in a panic and not, say, the father? More than 10 minutes passed until the second cries for help, also from the son, alerted the staffer and the first body found. IF it was the father we would know he was alive at that time (she saw no one). 

Good point!

Beowolf... you definitely need to assign someone sane to be your legal guardian. That's all I can say to this.

I wonder if he had important information on that iPad like private keys to a digital currency wallet etc.?

 

A good idea is to give your family your public keys, that way they can view transactions on your wallet without having access to the funds. 

You seem to know more... Hmmmm.... INTERESTING!  Expect a knock on your door in 10, 9, 8, 7....... ????

 My lucky "smart behind" shifted into Cambodia just before borders closed and for me it is hip hip hooray Cambodia, good bye Thailand (after 20 years). I like a hassle free life in retirement and there is no bureaucracy or hassle here as in Thailand, especially regarding my retirement visa extension for one year without any stupid 90 day reports or reams of supporting financial paperwork etc. 

Thanks for sharing, Burma Bill - good to know! I went to Cambodia about 10 years ago but it did not really appeal to me... Perhaps I might have been in the wrong areas, visiting the killing fields and so on. I have fond memories of the nightlife there, though ????

When exhausted it dropped to the floor of our balcony, so knowing what the Thais thought, sat on there and "talked' to the dove for about 10 minutes. It then flew away.

The next morning I looked at my wrist watch and then at the time on the computer. The watch was working but was 12 minutes slow. Never had it do that before or after the experience.

Thanks so much for sharing this - so you talked for exactly 12 minutes to your friend - another magical number❣️

Another of her paranormal confessions was about her Canadian boyfriend she had bee really keen on. Whilst she did not see her dead friend, often when she was with her bf she saw a apparition of a dead westerner which got disturbing. Bf never saw anything but when he asked her to describe what she saw he recognized it was his best friend who had died in a car accident. Not being able to put up with it she ended the relationship. I often wish I had kept in touch, before the 97 crash she had been a singer at Thonburi cafe in Bkk

Wow! Scary!!! Not keeping in touch with people we later find out would have been very helpful and valuable happens to the best of us. I know the feeling!

I did a seance once with friends, almost 40 years ago. We "talked" to several spirits that night, including my grannie and auntie who both passed away a few years before. We got answers to questions like, "Will there be world peace? What year and initiated by whom?" and the answers were all correct as we later found when the Berlin wall fell and "Gorbie" was our friend... all answers correct, down to the very year (1989).

Several other answers also were correct and I would find out about that several years later as only a few family members held the key, respectively knew the true answer to different questions that puzzled me and were "not to be spoken about". During the seance, there were changes in room temperature and also strange things happening with electric circuits. We were all amateurs, no "professional" medium was present who could have fiddled things.

But the kicker was the following... We have been sitting there for what felt maybe a maximum of two hours with the seance starting at 23:00h, suddenly, the sun came up and it was 07:00 in the morning, just like a time slip. My kitchen clock stopped dead at 01:00 am and it was working before and never failed me, yet - that clock would never work again, unrepairable damage to the circuit, battery full... 

I also have premonition dreams - they come as three successive dreams over a period of two weeks, getting more and more detailed with each successive dream... I knew the gender of my 1st and 3rd child before the ultrasound was due and saw a car accident I was involved in coming weeks before. My car (full loss) had damages that were similar to the ones in the last dream - to the T!!!

Also had an NDE in the 2004 tsunami of which I had only premonition dream one or two, but the NDE alone was something that could fill a book...

So off we went to another night of ghostly tales, at least I never had to pay a joiner fee for her friend. 

Made my day!!!! Never throught I'd hear a paranormal story involving one of my favourite Sukhumvit joints. Never had a threesome with a ghost, yet... Great story! Thanks!!!!

He said it felt to him as if our mother wanted him to be there, but it was probably coincidence....

Thanks for sharing this nice story, Soalbundy! There are NO coincidences in life, none!!!

He found her, I thought.

Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring and lovely story. I strongly believe in the paranormal, the afterlife and reincarnation since I had an NDE in the 2004 tsunami and have seen and experienced "the other side" for myself... I hope that your doggies are all untited in heaven and that you all will be reunited once it's time for you to pass on. Keep up the faith and believe only in yourself. Love and light, Freidenker

Those foreign groups don't actually care about promoting democracy of the people, those foreign groups care about setting up a regime that suits their trade industries.

Correctamundo, Timmy P... anyone who has seen Aug San Suu Kyi being best pals with Clinton, and who has matured enough to think outside the box, should be able to understand what the motives behind the destabilisation of Myanmar truly are. Yet, about 90% of the people will always believe the mainstream narrative of any given topic, hence believe that this one is fought over "democracy and human rights"... How naive can people be? It's downright shocking. 

So far for all those keyboard warrior tourism experts here on TV who (for over a decade) continued to babble the following, "Watch out Thailand! Burma will be the new number 1 destination in SEA in No TIME and will outperform Thailand like one, two, three..." whenever Burma (Myanmar) announced some "open border" nonsense.

I closely watched this Mumbo Jumbo game for almost 30 years now and Burma hasn't gotten anywhere. Lucky me, never did I fall for those false promises of Burmese "official" sources and the call of overexcited friends who felt they "HAVE TO INVEST IN BURMA NOW", screaming it from the rooftops.

I've seen the erosion of that godforsaken (yet beautiful) country myself, diving reefs there while some local crackheads bomb fished the reefs nearby. All under a government that couldn't care less about their natural resources, i.e. allowing the Burma Banks to be deep line fished to death, sharks being killed by the hundreds of thousands; once a shark encounter paradise for demanding Scuba divers, now turned into a barren rock stripped of any aquatic life...

Now look what has become of that "promising investment opportunity", named Myanmar - a tiger with a broken back, a civil war zone! So, where are all you "Burma, hip hip hooray, good bye Thailand!" smart behinds now?

Maybe time to admit that Thailand was not such a bad place to stay, after all, huh??? We all know that good ol' Siam has many areas for improvement, nothing and nobody is perfect, but given what we see in most other SEA countries (don't get me started on the Philippines), we still are better off here, and by far, I'd say...

Wow! Such a wild and unrealistic pipe dream, I want some of the pot they're smokin' !!!

Just sad they did not even put a second of thought to all those (filthy, pesky, non showering) foreigners who have been living, working and supporting countless Thai families, while pumping all their hard earned money into this country for decades...

Sorry, forgot - you already have them in a tight stranglehold since they:
a) Have pumped all their cash into this system already and will continue to do so, because...

b) Most of them have raised a Thai/foreign family
c) Feel home here, even though most officials do their utmost to make them feel hated
d) Have been cheeky and inventive enough to somehow obtain a valid visa, even though most locals and officials hate even thinking about this... Damn - how can we close those "loopholes"???

"Would you consider Turkey?"  

If you already live in heaven, would you consider moving to hell be a good plan B????

Looks like faulty electricity what would absolutely not be a surprise. Given the murderous reputation, this godforsaken rock gained in the past, finding two billionaire floaters might also point to one of the mafia "island owners" who obviously go to any length to get it their way... Given that this happened on Koh Tao, it would be a pipe dream to hope for a thorough and professionally conducted police investigation. Perhaps, they'll have some more illegal Burmese workers in stock to take the fall... only time will tell...

Combined forces will "extract" more dough, simple as that ????

If the medicine kills the patient, then it's not a good

Need top stop all this lunacy very, very soon.

 

70-80 million people got added to the world population last year during this pandemic.

 

If the same happens this year , then we are looking like adding 150,000,000 people to the world in 2 years - even allowing for covid deaths.

 

The amount of people losing jobs, businesses, dying from lost hospital appointments, losing housing, lifestyles just disappearing makes no sense any more.

 

The world and world leaders are destroying the planet more than the disease.

 

 

 

 

Correct, and so much more to be taken into account, such as the skyrocketing numbers of suicides, domestic violence - especially against children,  depression, etc.  If the medicine kills the patient, then it definitely isn't any good.
