jimmynewbie Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 If they really wanted to clean up the image of Death Island back to Turtle Island they would ask for help , they spend enough time with pointless requests to Interpol and governments re Yingluck etc.. It is clear they do not want too on Koh Tao and other suspicious deaths around Thailand! You did not answer my question if you would have faith in them and if they do a good job. No point in continuing it is clear what your objective is now 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in continuing it is clear what your objective is now I'm not interested in answering your hypotheticals but I think that I would rather have the demeanor of the family of the late David Miller rather than that of the sister of the late Ms. Witheridge. As to you what you think the RTP should do if they really wanted to solve the riddle of all these 'suspicious deaths, maybe you should go to the HQ of the RTP in Bankok and look for this: Edited August 9, 2018 by JLCrab 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLCrab Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) That's OK the guy has fed me plenty already. "As I said earlier, the police cannot become get involved in cases outside their jurisdiction unless they are invited to do so." That was the FCO rep at the FEB 2018 Hansard meeting linked earlier. But notion posited on here that UK, Germany, or any other country can approach the Thai authorities and say "We want you to invite us to participate in or conduct our own criminal investigation into any suspicious death of our citizen in Thailand and if you don't it is only for your own nefarious reasons" ain't gonna work.

jimmynewbie Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Because Kate they have not announced cause of death, if it was snake bite it would be easy to diagnose, THAT is what is fishy! why is it taking so long? why will they not release the body? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone dies of a snake bite in the west I am not sure it would make the headlines in the local news .

jimmynewbie Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 You think the family do not deserve to know what happened Balo the troll? How did he die???? The Thais would have announced this ASAP to save face and the image of Koh Tao if it was a snake bite. Now they are making it worse again, the silence speaks a million words....... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know the family haven't received the autopsy report from the hospital by now? It's a private matter between them and the Thai authorities. The Thais aren't going to announce anything publicly just because you are jumping up and down. And Balo is not a troll. He is a Norwegian with a particular love for early 70s mainstream rock. I have tried to interest him in earlier psychedelic music but I have met with only limited success 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmynewbie Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 There is little information about Mr Grotsch’s death that is available to the public or his family in Germany. It appears that the Royal Thai Police only offered vague theories – that perhaps he died of a heart attack or perhaps it was a snake bite that killed him. At best, such comments betray a tremendously callous indifference to the loss of a human life. At worst, the comments arouse valid suspicions that yet another murder on Koh Tao (aka Death Island) is being covered-up. After all, a simple autopsy would easily reveal whether this apparently healthy man died of a heart attack or a snake bite (or poison or something else). Snake venom in particular has a devastating effect on the tissue of its victims. A simple examination of the body should make it blindingly obvious whether snake venom killed him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid I am unable to read German language except for exclamations from the war comics of the 1960s such as achtung and donnerwetter un blitzen. Hopefully you can translate these questions the German media are still asking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Yes everything is a cover up , I believe so now after reading jimmynewbies comments. I also think 9/11 was a cover up by the FBI and the muslims never hijacked the planes. I watched a Youtube video about it so it must be true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balo Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I am not a detective , but if I would choose between a murder and a snake bite after seeing the German on this picture playing with a very poisonous snake on Koh Tao, I would say there is a bigger chance he died of a snake bite than a murder.

They are unaware because they most likely occupy the part of the Bell curve that is to the left of the median. 2. They believe that bad things won't happen to them because they are too smart or too cool. 3. They are the same type of people who rent jet skis, take photos with a terrified slow loris, go to Tiger Temple, think that a bar girl or beach boy who talks to them does so because she/he really likes them. Yes geriatrickid the normal tourists will behave like you said. A very small percentage of tourists looked around didn't like being shortchanged all the time as well as how things were going on just took the next flight to somewhere else. The smart tourists I must say. They are not after cheap thrills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 There is little doubt, that the true number goes well beyond ten, for the forsaken island of Dark Tao. There is a serial killer on the loose. And he and his family are above the law. And and all laws, including the hapless army. Having been there a dozen times over the years (mostly for very, very low quality diving, while I was learning) I will never go back, and recommend all those with an open mind, and a concern for their well being and safety, to avoid the island. Besides, it is way overpriced. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgma Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 With respect in mind, but a photograph with a snake isn't proof of a thing, if he had a cigar in hand he would probably died an overdose of inhalation smoke, again respect and sincere condolences offered on my part! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 7/9/2018 at 6:46 PM, Briggsy said: A friend of mine had a successful dive shop on Koh Tao. Was woken up one night with a gun in his face and told he had 24 hours to leave. Met a few tourists who told me they were having a few drinks at a place near the pier. Someone spills their beer, no big deal etc. The woman who ran place looks over at them, pulls out a revolver and lays it on the table. This was more than 10 years ago. Other than this, I felt it was the most un-friendly place in Thailand I have been to. I was so unimpressed I didn't visit the other islands nearby. I don't buy this serial killer stuff, I think it's just a matter of the locals solving problems in their own way. Frontier justice, as they said in the old days. They need Burmese to pin the blame on. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
