A local couple who encountered the British man there messaged his partner Maybin, mentioning that he had been out with friends that evening.

Why? How? They must have had access to his phone.

Or he'd given them her number/WhatsApp.

I agree 100 %. Therefore I wouldn't give any cent for fundraising unless it's for an urn.

No one asked you to.

The fundraiser, launched on February 3, has already amassed £21,000 (882,000 baht), shattering its initial £15,000 target in just hours.

 

Quite shameful to milk generous donors like that.

No one is being milked, the generous donors know what they are doing and what is happening to their donations.  Quite shameful to allege that the family are milking anyone.

Because they don't have any money 

All the posters on here have never known not having money,  So, they don't get it.  They think we all have 15k on hand, just because they do. They live in another world to some of us.

Note there is NO actual details about his "death".
No date. No location. No circumstances. NO NEWS except for the copy/paste story in the original post.

He allegedly was last seen on the 20th. I seriously doubt he died and has been decomposing in his room for over 2 weeks without anyone noticing.

Also, a quick search found another group where someone who seems to have a lot of knowledge about his activities mentions he was actually seen on the evening of the 21st at ABUNdance Modern Fusion Club - which is a totally different place than the  Abandoned Mansion Bar & Restaurant.

That person said he was staying at the The Coach Hotel and checked out at 1pm on 22 Jan - and then says the hotel refused to check the CCTV.
(That guy seems to have some pretty intimate details about the guy's activities for some reason.)

And whenever you see one of these stories with NO details - but they've already had a "GoFundMe" type appeal set up - you have to wonder.

And surely if a dead Brit was found in Bangkok it would have made the LOCAL news long before it appeared - with GoFundMe link - in the news "back in Blighty" don't you think ?

Think about it. Normally a "foreigner" being found dead anywhere in the country makes the news, with media and cameras taking photos of the location the body was found and so on.

Yet almost ALL of these stories originate from English garbage media sites like the Sun and Mirror - with NO local news about them.

I've even queried Thaiger about incidents that supposedly happened in their back yard (Phuket) and there was NO news anywhere about it - except for the story copy/pasted from one of those lame sites in England that "pay people for their vacation horror stories".

And ALL of those stories have the SAME clues.
NO specific date. NO specific location. NO specific details about the incident. NO local news reports.
Nothing that can actually be researched or investigated to see if it's true.

Think about it.
An Indian gets pickpocketed by a ladyboy - it's headline news.
A Brit gets into a fight with bouncers on Walking Street - it's headline news.
A Russian gets into a scooter accident in Phuket - it's headline news.

But a missing Brit being found dead weeks after going missing ?
NO news at all ?

Just a convenient "GoScamYou" link in an article in a British media site.

If you can't see through the Kwaii khee then maybe you should get some glasses.

And keep in mind - this is not the first "news" story like this to be posted here.

They literally scan those Brit tabloids daily for any "Thailand horror stories" and then cut/paste them into Thaiger and ASEAN Now - often without mentioning where the story originated from (i.e. a British tabloid site).


Surely some of you have friends/relatives in Essex that could give the Sangwine family a call and ask when - and where - the funeral is.
After all, they've already scammed - er- "fundraised" more than enough to fly his body home so the funeral should be pretty quick - especially considering how long ago he may have died.

Wanna bet you don't get an answer ?

This is a well thought out and plausible piece.

I for one didn't look at this from your perspective.

I have now.

Thanks for the education.

   The donations were for the body to repatriated and any money left over will be going to his Son

t I know of one that stated that the cause was that the heart stopped and the person stopped breathing, not why that happened!

Post-mortems are not performed to determine what "happened", they are to determine just the cause of death and, in the case that you allege happened you don't think that the cause of death could have been heart failure (which stops breathing)?  Did you read the post-mortem report in the case that you say you know of in Thai or was it a translation from Thai to English?

I've never encountered such a bunch of callous, cold people as i do on here.   unreal

[Pompeygeezer]

A lot of the posters on here have obviously never known not having money,  So, they don't get it.  They think we all have 15k on hand, just because they do. They live in another world to some of us. Incredible.   They should think themselves lucky but all they wanna do is slag people off who are skint.  A lot of the posters just seem to look down at anyone who is poor.  despicable

unemployed but got enough money for Thailand? Bad joke

Being unemployed does not necessarily mean his being penniless!

If you think so you would agree that a GoFundMe action is "not ok"?

Seems to be a good idea, as opposed to being, subjectively (and irrationally) "terrible".

It's actually none of your business. Jealousy/envy is a really ugly trait.

GoFundMe can help if you're in an unavoidable situation.

But here it's diametral different

I'm not telling what to think or do. I'm telling you that jealousy/envy is really ugly in this context. Up to you. You have to live with yourself.

I have what I need. Subsequently I'm not bothered about what anyone else has. It obviously burns you though. Use the helpline yourself.

People have been giving forward for centuries. It's a way of life for some communities. Don't be envious, it's really unattractive.
