Foreigner Murdered And Stuffed In Garbage Container In Bangkok

[wprime]

What is the 'conflict of interest'? I think they just mean 'conflict' but wanted to make it sound profound.

No need to pay off the BIB then, not gonna happen!

[SOTIRIOS]

...you never hear of an Asian referred to as a 'farang'....so even referring to them as foreigners is misleading in a way...

....this individual was murdered by his own countrymen....again, not a 'typical' murder of a foreigner....

[DekDaeng]

Love waking up to read shit like this, thats literally 2 sois down the road from me.. ..

Never mind saving the elephants, crocodiles and butterflies. it should be; Save the foreigners they are getting wiped out one at a time. just look at the track record in the past few months.

Yes, but then the "Thai" arguement would be "if you weren't here, it wouldn't have happened, therefore it's YOUR fault" . . .

Can you please enlighten us about this "track record for the past few months" ??.

Woman drives in car at night that works for the Hilton Hotel get shot in the head.

Man gets strangled to death with leather belt on second floor of hotel room.

Man stuffed in garbage bag after being bound up and tossed like trash.

Tourist jumps off balcony and dies.

Man (Foreigner) jumps off balcony, DOA.

[how241]

the motive may have stemmed from conflicts of interest in prostitution

Or they may have been fighting over a Furby. Since we are just speculating here.

"Politicians and police" must do something to stop these horrific events

[Charlie Cheap]

For the last 12 months I searched Thaivisa on Goggle for "killed OR murdered OR balcony OR machete" site:thaivisa.com" and came up with hundreds of stories.

Dude, post your findings!

On the button. Where do they get this junk from? If it's true, and the police do know, Thailand's finest should be claiming, 'case closed' in no time at all.

But I doubt it...

If it happened in Kings Cross and you were Australian, then you would suss it all out before the cops.

If it happened in Soho and you were from London, the same would apply.

Once again, in Geylang in Singapore.... get the picture?

Obviously, none of you are familiar with Charansanitwong 40 in Bangkok.

Vietnameses are foreigners but I suspect Thaivisa were quite happy to play on the confusion between Foreigner and Farang to get more page views.

Why not title "Vietnamese man murdered", not catchy enough?

Maybe he could also enlighten us why he thinks saving people is more worth than saving endangered species. There are billions of us, we destroy everything we touch, etc Animals are just trying to survive, and we human beings are $%#ing them. That's without even mentioning they were on earth long before we even existed.

[IAMSOBAD]

Prostitution doesn't exist in the Kingdom.

So they are surely mistaken.

Keystone Cops were at least funny.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

I was going to say the same thing...

You mean there's prostitution occurring here? Really???

Sounds like the boy does get around a bit.

[Marlow999]

Is it me or does it seem like it is open season on foreigners this year?

It's you.

That would be because they are Asians are not farangs.

Of the five examples you quote two are apparent suicides and one is today's report. That leaves a "track record" of two incidents from you.

Not a bad record really although zero incidents would be perfect but we don't live in a perfect world.

Common occurrence - prostitution or drugs.

There is one drug which is the most abused and harmful than all the others put together, is that the one you're referring to? Hint: it rhymes with "out in the hall"

[maidu]

You do not seriously believe that legalisation would rid the industry of gangs?

I can't speak for anantha92, but I believe legalization would take a lot of the baddies out of the controlling/abusive end of the business. same for legalizing drugs. There is always going to be allure for sex and drugs and guns and alcohol. The more you try to criminalize them, the more of a black market gets created - and the abuses which are part of the equation.

If it has ANYTHING to do with prostitution, the Police WILL know.

After all, you gotta have SOMEBODY regulating the industry!

[Cuban]

Clearly the police know this information from the decease's Work Permit.

The system works.

Yes, in the perfect world, but this would be bad for business for the mafia gangs and corrupt officials that are running the show, so it will never happen.

You have to start somewhere if you want to solve anything, there are a lot of law abiding investors that would probably get into the industry as well. Not only that, the government can regulate and assure the workers security, as well as provide and enforce mandatory disease testing. The entire industry needs an overhaul it's still stuck in the 70's. It's about time Thailand embraces what they have known to be all around the world and embracing it is the first step to solving every single problem. This idea of losing face is total and utter nonsense, the country is being pulled back by this and there are people who are actually suffering and dying because of the incompetence and arrogance of the past/current few governments.

[theajarn]

Hmmm... Four men, one dead. Prostitution. I wonder if this had anything to do with that YouTube video that went viral? The one with four guys beating up alleged prostitutes?

Maybe it was the camera man?

You think the government even cares?

I agree and one of them sounds like a potential auto erotic accident as well/ It's amazing how many posters on TV come out with incredible statements (usually negative and/or paranoid statements about Thailand or Thais) then when challanged they cite TV headlines as the source without even considering whether the stories behind the headlines support their theory or not. Not Clever but fun to shoot down:-)

Legalize protitution!!!

Based on what do you think prostitution is illegal.

Hope the reference is not the same as driving salengs, or going through red lights, or using a cell phone while driving or riding a motorbike, even in front of a police station, or or or!!!
