A BIG search in a Surat Thani jungle for a Frenchman missing for five days ended this afternoon (Nov. 17) after his body was found down a steep cliff by a large party of rescuers, Matichon newspaper said.

 

Mr. Gollino Cyrit Tizzlano, around 30 years of age, had been staying at Khao Sok Holiday Resort but disappeared on Nov. 12 after mentioning to the resort’s owner that he was going trekking.

 

Three villagers said the tourist had brought a drone along to fly at Khao Phanthurat hill outside Khao Sok National Park. The drone disappeared and it is likely that he went to search for it himself and might have had an accident and got stuck in the forest.

RIP Frenchy.

RIP. 

RIP, very strange to die after a week unless he fell, got sick or got bitten by something nasty. Plenty of water around and we can all survive a week without food.

The article on here is a bit confusing and typically contradict the information.  150 cliff not mentioned however a steep cliff and died from being lost made my confused old brain translate as a steep hill/incline. I imagine more information outside this article is available. Cliff's are normally described as high inclines as steep and people who fall or pushed off a cliff and die are normally described as death resulted from a fall from a cliff.

Entertaining ? ...is it ? Arguing over what the poor man fell off ? ...

Rest In Peace .  

Facts matter.

Yes your quite right but I spend enough time on Thaivisa as I want and always know when things are incorrect then those will inevitably be corrected from someone with more knowledge.
