Population of the UK = 68,000,000 Population of Koh TAo = 8000 ( approx ) In a large population bound to be a few unexplained deaths. Given that the UK population is 8500 times larger than Koh Tao I am less surprised. As for seeing the autopsy results , you are probably correct. The story will probably die and we will hear nothing much more in the press , especially if nobody is interested.

Thank you. I will. I will be interested to see the autopsy results . I think a spontaneous heart attack in an apparently fit young man needs further investigation..

So ....you don't think anything at all one way or the other ? Interesting.

Not his first dive though : 21-year-old Robby had a passion for scuba diving https://www.corkbeo.ie/news/local-news/thai-police-give-update-irish-30770524

So you think he had an unknown condition ?

You would think a close friend of several years might have known something had there been previous conditions. Robby’s long-time friend said he’d known him for around five to six years and was clueless about any pre-existing medical conditions that might have led to this tragedy. Neither have his family mentioned any .

As 21 year old healthy young people with no previous conditions often do. That place seems to have bad joss unless it is the media putting a magnifying glass on it making it appear worse than it is. Who knows for sure. RIP young man.

Both wife and I currently have these flu like symptoms. Bit of a bummer as I was looking forward to the cold weather this weekend. As it is , no energy to do anything and wrapped up in a jacket plus wearing socks around the house.

Slightly off topic , but interesting. Dozens of British women have seen their breasts grow after the Covid jab - experts reveal why https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14263459/women-covid-jab-breast-enlargement-reaction.html Dozens of British women have reported their breasts ballooning in size after receiving a Covid vaccine, MailOnline can reveal. The revelation comes days after shocking images showed how a 19-year-old Canadian woman's breast quadrupled in size in what experts believe is a rare reaction to Pfizer's Covid jab dubbed the 'Pfizer boob job'. Now, MailOnline has uncovered data from the British drug medical safety watchdog showing 33 reports of similar cases of 'breast enlargement' following Pfizer's vaccine.

Rule of law ???? Favouring political elites ??? Wot ? Here in Thailand ??? Nooooo.....never happens.

I can't worry about this. Too cold here in Petchabun to worry about gas shortages in the UK. Only 13 degrees C this morning at 6.00 am. I was up in the night throwing an extra blanket on the bed. All made worse by wife going for a pee then getting back in the sack and trying to warm her hands on my wedding tackle. The horror , the horror. To think, I was looking forward to this but am now down with the flu as well. Be careful what you wish for.

I find it strange that the mere mention of any of the Shinawatra clan sends some people into a frenzy of hatred and vitriol yet when there is a coup and the military prove to be just as corrupt they have nothing to say and go happily about their business. I guess they have no hatred left except for when a new party with real reforms wins the election then once again they find the energy to run around like headless chickens.

Yes. Dieting , weight loss and plenty of exercise are good for your libido and will help ED. The difficult part is getting the wife to do these things.

Looks aren't anything. Much rather have an average looking pocket rocket than an expensive prima donna . It's what's under the hood that counts.

Assuming they possessed such an organ in the first place.

Great . Now just remove the bridge connecting it to the mainland and this new Oblast can be quarentined from the rest of the country.

Two's a spit roast threes a crowd. Havn't seen Bob lately either ?

The interesting aspect is how expat communities , of whatever nationality , like to flock together and limit their integration to just being here and picking up a smattering of Thai. Look at places like Phuket , Pattaya , Chiang Mai etc and you will find some areas that are almost completely Russian , Chinese or Western. This is not so different from the UK where we see asians choosing to live in towns and cities where they can limit their integration into British society. Places where they can go for days on end just speaking their own language ,eating their own food and using their own social networks etc. They can live here for decades but have no Thais as real friends.

Good. When you return to the front ask your cats if you can borrow a few of their 9 lives. Might come in handy.

Is the foreigner B in this story ?

So, tourists with nice shoes who have just recovered from a nasty illness. Narrows it down a bit.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel. I thought Thailand wanted to be the hub for wealthy , well healed tourists ?

But think Yingluk is Thaksins daughter. Lol. A lot to say about Thaksin but not much about Prayuth and other coup makers who have also had their noses at the trough but by seizing power rather than politics.

No need to apologise. Many people are confused by the new regulations and requirements. As DrJack54 says : I would skip idea of obtaining non O in Laos. An alternative is to apply for 12 month extension from your current permission of stay. The days of easy and quick visa runs to Laos are over. It has no advantage over anywhere else.

Changing the disc is hardly what I would call a modification. There are disc's for ceramic tiles , metal and wood. If they want to reduce these accidents they should make it illegal to sell grinders that are not operated by an automatic kill button. That is , as soon as you take your thumb off the operation button the power is cut. My first grinder had this. Nowadays , most of the cheap Chinese generic grinders have a separate toggle switch at the base where the wire goes in. Dangerous because if you drop the grinder it keeps on working.
