How astute of you. Its a deep pool. You can drown in it. Ive stayed there several times 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 2 occasions being involved with the corrupt police here, first time a senior policeman accepted money and got me jailed, second time serious road accident, police involved lied about how it happened. How did you get involved with the police? How long did you serve? Why didn't you pay? It sounds a fascinating story and it has obviously coloured your view of the police here. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police we have come in contact have been extremely helpful and dedicated in their jobs and responsibility. Perhaps, the police in your home country have sowed doubts into you long before you came here. I initially laughed at the obvious sarcasm and humour in this post until I realised that perhaps chmeatloaf was serious.... In which case it’s one of the most comically ill-informed posts I have ever read on ThaiVisa.com 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have talked to my friends who stay there often and they just laugh at the stupid death island nonsense. They think it's really stupid. A South London suburb is more dangerous than Kao Tao. Even my wimpy, woke, snowflake friends consider Koh Tao to be a friendly , fun, relaxing safe space. But what would they know? They only visit the place and live there for long periods of time. I bet most people who come up with the 'Death Island' rubbish have never been there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLSEEINGEYE Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 I would be interested to hear how deep this pool was. Was it even too deep to stand up in? It looks very small from the photo. Many pools are not more than 1.4 meters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
