Stay away." "Ko Tao ... cases are never solved". Name one case that has "not been solved" after investigation by the authorities which means reporting the cause of death and the concluded circumstances. Bear in mind that being solved to the satisfaction of AN posters is not the criteria. Edited July 22, 2023 by Liverpool Lou 3 2 3 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwak250 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Not seen anything about an Australian on Koh Tao. It's a shame I spent many many months there between 1999-2005 Missed sitting in restaurants watching movies on big tvs before the days of the mobile phones . A lot changed on koh Tao . It was once my paradise but since going back last year it still is the same Koh Tao but the charm has left the island. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go halfway around the world to an island paradise and watch old action movies in a restaurant at night. Silly to me. I can relate to a small degree. After many weeks backpacking throughout China in the mid 90s, we were thrilled to see something from home (“Friends,” which I hated then and still do). But that was after many weeks of strenuous backpacking only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable,! I assumed that in the above context that unbelievable would obviously apply to the fact that there is no information on the circumstances of what happened. And that was almost a week ago. So it's even more unbelievable now. I mean what ** is going on here,? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomangosteen Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Was he even on Ko Tao at the time of his death? - the news reports suggested he was 'allegedly' there. There's been a lack of any further news coverage. A Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade spokesperson said: “The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is providing consular assistance to the family of an Australian who died in Phuket. “The Department extends its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the Australian. Owing to our privacy obligations we cannot provide further comment.” Edited July 27, 2023 by gomangosteen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
