What makes me sceptic about the suicide versions (in many of the cases) is that I personally would never choose this way to end my life. It is the most terrifying and disgusting one. Shooting oneself, self poisoning or self drowning… many less painful and more esthetic options out there…

Are you really worried about less sunshine in Thailand? Really? If not these (quite rare) cloudy days - the place would be impossible to live in.
