prepress Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 my Thai collegs at work showed me an article in todays Thai newspaper about an German teacher who burned himself. It happend in Chonbury or Pattaya. The translation was very bad. Can anybody confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Yes, somebody did indeed self immolate, apparently opened the gas tank and lit it with a lighter causing an explosion. Just wondering why this has been posted in the business section? Mods - maybe move to General? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundman Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Sorry, about posting in the wrong section. It is my first posting No problems at all. We all had first postings! Its in a more appropriate section now. I have just gone back and had another look at the article and it appears that a German national, who had been in Thailand for a few months, was unsuccessful at obtaining a job as an English teacher, and, according to the report, blew/burnt himself to death. Terrible. Soundman. Edited June 12, 2008 by soundman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 My condolences to the family and friends of the victim. A tragic loss. I think with a little persistance, he would have been able to find a job. Such a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I hope as more information is available, it gets posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
