A BRIT has been left stranded on a remote snake-infested island for TWO MONTHS due to the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Natalie Poole, 35, is stuck on Kyun Pila, in Myanmar, with four others after the last boat off the island was suddenly cancelled.

 

The volunteer worker, from Ashburton, Devon, said she and her fellow castaways are now taking things  "day by day".

 

For the last two months they have been forced to survive with hardly any aid in one of the world's most isolated locations.

If they were China , Thailand would be opening the border and laying on a seafood buffet for them ..

The Taliban can make video's from a cave in Afghanistan 

It's not a deserted desert Island. There are obviously other people and resources on the island. 

 

"The camp is about a 15-minute dinghy ride away from Awei Pila, the only resort on the island, which has closed because of the outbreak."  Why ride the dingy back and forth instead of camping nearer fresh water and resources?  Sound dramatic on purpose.

I feel a book deal in the making, marooned on a snake infested island.

Marooned with internet access, media access, she avin a laff, me thinks.

"Thank god we found this geodesic dome in the jungle otherwise who knows where we would have to sleep!" 

Seeing how happy she looks she,s obviously enjoying herself...????

Snake trapped on island with smelly backpackers, whom have stolen all the snakes food as well.

 

Aha, I also see the Into the Wild guy didnt die on that bus in Alaska, he's in Myanmar..Fake News!

One snake would be infested enough for me ????

Forage? Snakes are food..Seems GI Joe in the camo could grab one with his bare hands and snap its head

Bet she's got hairy armpits....

I remember visiting the Survivor supposedly, remote Island of Pulau Tiga, Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo), shown in the first series. I was amazed to see that if you walked through the trees from the Survivor Tribal House you came to a holiday resort with chalets. I can't believe that these people have a problem. Looks like another con like the Survivor TV series.

Can't wait for the book and then the movie. So exciting 

A young lady friend who works in Singapore has been stuck in Indonesia.

She keeps posting to FB images of her fellow travelers in bikinis on pristine Lombok

beaches never a man in sight! I need a sailboat...

From the op link:

 

"Natalie today posted on Facebook: "Please help me get home. There is a boat leaving here on Monday but they wont let me on the mainland without booked flight tickets home."

I suppose they get Wi-Fi and battery recharger from the coconut palm.

A better book would be How we survived Thailand lock down without alcohol  ????

could think of worse places to be stranded while on corona lockdown.

And THAT would certainly be worth a few baht for a hour or so of anecdotal mirth whilst holed up with an ice cold brew or two. I would most definitely pay for that entertainment. Let me know when you publish 

Not far south of her, I'm also stuck on an island I share with scorpions, snakes, wild boar and monitor lizards.

It's called Phuket.

 

Unfortunately my island also has traffic, a lack of water, thieves, scammers corrupt cops, taxi drivers, etc. as well as a social media forum rife with pop up adds.

This is not the time to bring up your fantasies.

the book of face has created a world stage for all the drama queens, its shame is most people who utilize the platform are devoid of talents..
