Will33324 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Patong Beach = Paradise Beach????????? Paradise Beach is on the southern side of the bay, reach it by driving over a steep road off to the right leaving Patong. Quite nice, but shallow bay that is rocky but for a stip of sand running out. Is a sad thing such a young man has passed this way, so sorry for the families loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bit of a challenge to get to it though. RIP to the dead fellow. Who knows what befell him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So according to the text they don't mean 'Paradise Beach', but are equaling Patong to being a paradise beach. And that is not the way I would prescribe Patong, and judging from his post neither would Mitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian guy Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I don't know why but it seems a bit strange that a 37 year old in good health has misteriously drowned alone on a sandy a beach... Dunno why but it comes to my mind the first victim of a certain Charles Sobhraj in Pattaya... but that was back in the 70s... And Charles Sobhraj is now 69 and is serving a life inprisonment in Nepal... However, I would investigate further... who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
