I guess he was still young at heart right up to the very end.  RIP

Well he won't grow old now. Some people turn their brains off when they land in Thailand.

The expression that we use is 'they leave their brains on the planes'.

Sad way to end the party, but incidents like these happens at raves all the time.  

 

Rest in peace.

Full Moon Party last night.

If he attended - a sad way to end.

Sad? Maybe. I assume he got a joyful last day of his life. No pain, no suffer, just passed out and away.

I wish my last day would be as peaceful and easy.

A full moon party says it all,he went with a bang in thailand

Could be a factor.  You can die of alcohol poisoning a little while after you finish drinking.

Could be cheap alcohol as happened a few weeks ago in Lao was it?

Or a cocktail of cheap drugs and cheap alcohol, will we ever know the truth?

Very sad, a good venue to stay clear of.

Why does it say a British Tourist ?

The identity of the tourist has not been confirmed, but he was carrying a News South Wales driver’s licence

The Daily Mirror article that is quoted, identifies him as a British citizen, originally from Gillingham in Kent, who was running a cleaning business in New South Wales (Australia).

A Brit carrying an Aus driver licence.

50/50 chance of a gofundme to pay for repatriation !

Because he was a British tourist.

[Sandboxer]

At least no one is using the word "tragic" in the article.

 

Just another nothingburger of a deleted tourist that probably didn't need to be.

How would anyone know he took money out of the ATM to give to the guy giving him a ride home?

It was reported that he was observed doing so.

 I would have thought that at 37 he would be a bit old for a full moon drug party.He should have matured by now and grown out of that.

Drug and alcohol addiction and other related recklessness don't favor any age group, but yes I agree. If you can get it out of your system in your 20s and survive you're ahead of the game. 

[Jonathan Swift]

Another tragic victim of the "party till you drop" mindset. Makes me sad every time I see people doing this to themselves with the illusion that it's actually enjoyable. After the first few drinks it's no longer "partying", it's self destruction.
