Most English sentences have something called a verb.

  • So much for the publication to follow 'International protocols'. 

  • I wonder if there is a mistranslation here because New South Wales is in Australia?   It says he ran a cleaning company there and hailed from Gillingham in Kent, which is England.  

  • 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.

Please explain.

I have no idea why you would want tourists dead. 

When did I say I want tourists dead? What I said was that it´s good not more than one dies from that crazy party.

I fail to understand why I should need to explain something to a person that twist the content I have posted.

You are nasty

What is nasty? I am happy that only one died. Nothing nasty with that. As much alcohol and drugs that are consumed every time it´s inevitable.

Not for him and his family!

That´s true, but overall it´s a miracle.

It sounded like you said that. If you didn't mean that, my apologies.

Absolutely not my meaning. I don´t want or wish tourists to die. Only that the party is almost designed to kill people. I am baffled that not more people die. I am also sorry if it sounded wrong.

Moonlit tragedy: British tourist found dead after Full Moon Party
by Bob Scott

A British tourist’s dream holiday turned into a nightmare after a wild night at Thailand’s infamous Full Moon Party ended in tragedy.

 

Christopher Stephen Boucher was discovered dead outside a 7-Eleven store on the island of Koh Pha Ngan, after attending the notorious beach bash.

 

The 37 year old from Gillingham in Kent, had reportedly been trying to find his way back to his hotel in the small hours after of the morning after downing cheap shots at the iconic party. He was last seen withdrawing cash to pay a mystery local who had offered him a lift.

 

Tragically, his lifeless body was found shortly after 6.30am, today, December 16, with police and paramedics arriving at the scene around 7.20am, unable to revive him.


Police suspect that Boucher, who ran the Northern Beaches Cleaning Service in New South Wales, drank alcohol and suspect he may have indulged in drugs during the rambunctious Sunday night festivities.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Arun confirmed a search for the elusive driver who dropped him off before vanishing.

The Daily Mirror reported that Boucher was found barefoot, clutching an opened water bottle, with his driver’s license in his pocket revealing his identity, said Lieutenant Colonel Arun.

 

“We found the body lying face up. It was sent to Koh Pha Ngan Hospital for examination.”

 

Lt. Col. Arun added that officers are combing through CCTV footage to uncover any clues about his mysterious final hours.


 

The party-loving British man was reportedly last seen inebriated at Hat Rin Beach, the epicentre of the extravagant Full Moon Party.

 

Unnamed witnesses told Lt. Col. Arun he was visibly exhausted upon his return to the hotel.

 

“He might have partied all night until the morning and passed out due to lack of sleep.”

 

Lt. Col. Arun added that no signs of assault were found. Blood test results are pending.

 

Koh Pha Ngan’s Full Moon Party is infamous for its all-night revelry, drawing thousands of backpackers to its sandy shores.

 

Despite its popularity, the event is notorious for the promiscuous availability of alcohol and drugs, with substances like cannabis, magic mushrooms, and methamphetamine easy to come by.

 

The deaths of tourists and partygoers on Koh Pha Ngan is not a new phenomenon.

 

Earlier this year a horrifying incident unfolded at Bamboo Bar on the island, where a British backpacker from Bristol was attacked, leaving him gushing blood after being stabbed in the neck in a Thai bar brawl.


Hugo Mooney found himself sprawled on the floor of Bamboo Bar on the infamous Full Moon Party island of Koh Pha Ngan, his life hanging by a thread, as horrified bystanders scrambled to stem the tide of blood.

 

The unsavory incident unfolded on January 28, around 11.30pm, as Mooney and his group of six pals were savouring beers. It was then, as alleged by Mooney, that Israeli national Eliran Alias targeted his female friend with unwelcome advances.

 

Koh Pha Ngan’s Full Moon Party’s darker side was also exposed last August when a grisly murder rocked the island. Spanish actor’s son Daniel Sancho Bronchalo allegedly killed and dismembered his lover during the event.

 

As the Thai police press on with their inquiry into Boucher’s untimely death, his passing serves as a grim reminder of the Full Moon Party’s perilous allure.

I am very sorry about his death in such a young age. He still had so much life ahead of him. May he RIP.
