Baerboxer Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 They say a guy from Bootle had been arrested at the scene. I would assume that the offender was a fellow Englishman. Could there of been a bit of skylarking between a couple of English mates? Yes - both from the Liverpool / Merseyside area (Bootle and Walton). People from that part of the UK are known as "scousers" to Brits. RIP - Condolences to his family in the UK and to his girlfriend. Good to see the authorities can communcicate and act quickly in a tragic case. British police officers are very professional when dealing with situations like this.

johnlandy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Anyway, let's hope the family gets the answers they need. That's all that matters now. The problem is that there are never acceptable answers in the realm. The Australian government has declared Phuket the most dangerous place on the planet for Australians. The net should be extended to include Thailand for ALL Caucasians. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonjelly Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Family tributes to Liverpool dad-to-be killed in Thailand Where's the comma after dad to be? at first i thought he was gonna be executed...RIP Didnt the hyphens give you a clue ? Does remind me of the joke about the panda at the restaurant that eats, shoots and leaves though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unanimosity Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Anyway, let's hope the family gets the answers they need. That's all that matters now. If another foreigner was involved they might get something a lot closer to the truth than they would had any Thais been involved. Ya think?

Emdog Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 "As a forgeinger you have to be very, very carefull who you associate with as most people here in Thailand are not what they appear to be!" This is also very very true regarding the farangs you meet up with. Perhaps some let their guard down too easily. There are lots of farang trash they prey upon unsuspecting tourists too. May I suggest Charles Sobraj? Charles Manson of Asia? Then again, could just be the old Liverpool-Everton rivalry. Can get nasty at times (Joking, sorry). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technologybytes Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 As a forgeinger you have to be very, very carefull who you associate with as most people here in Thailand are not what they appear to be! Just take all the ladyboys here for example. I was wondering how long it would be before someone saw a chance to further smear the reputation of ladyboys. Unless I'm really confused, this has NOTHING to do with ladyboys at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian guy Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 This makes me immensely sad! I can't even think of how his family back home and his girlfriend feel... not to mention that one day his son or daughter will probably know this sick story!

LuukKoeyKorat Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The bar shown in the picture is on Koh Phangan.

lemonjelly Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Disgusting Thaivisa. Posting the memorial picture of this guy (a father to be no less) with 4 bar girls. You should be ashamed. This isn't sarcasm - really downright terrible. One of them might be his GF, and being photo'd with BGs fully clothed…. hardly a scandal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidDown Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Disgusting Thaivisa. Posting the memorial picture of this guy (a father to be no less) with 4 bar girls. You should be ashamed. This isn't sarcasm - really downright terrible. The photo was included in the news report in his home town newspaper, the Liverpool Echo. Thaivisa just copied the news report and photo. Its just a picture of him with girls, nothing lewd going on. Surely any problems you have with the photo should be addressed to Liverpool Echo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antfish Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I have read the liverpool echo link and I cannot imagine this family's sorrow. If only this would be a warning to all people both young and who come here and get caught up in the sabaii sabaii lifestyle.Goodluck to anyone who comes here seeking a better alternative to their life.BUT don't get complacent about it.This is not Europe or America.At last there youcan speak the language,have a support group,family...You must always keep your eye on the ball especially here...Don't let your guard down.Enjoy your time here but see beyond the facade.The games.. A young man who wanted to taste the sweetness of life and maybe he did for ashort time.Such awaste of a life.I hope his killer will be caught and his family gets justice. According to the Liverpool echo link a fellow countryman from Liverpool was involved in this tragic death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafish Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yes as pointed out, real quality selection for ginning up support. Looks like another "monger," that overstayed his welcome no doubt. Sad as it is One would think about posting such a photo represenative of the deseased to gain sympathy votes? Oh well, Liverpool forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post khunken Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2013 there is not enough information in the OP to have a rational discussion about this - Rational discussion on TV is a pretty rare event, even when there is copious and detailed information. Agreed except that it is rare to have detailed information on anything published here. Some of the posts are beyond irrational - moronic. It's as though some posters just go ahead and plunge in without even reading the Op, let alone any any posts already posted. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maggusoil Posted June 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2013 There are definitely some pretty insensitive and ill considered generalisations on this post. Britons, bar girls, farangs, do this and Thais do that and think this and think that. There is so much presumption on this site you could build a city on it. He was somebody's brother, somebody's son and another body's never to be father. and that's a tragedy in anyone's life. "Bar girls" often also by no particular dint have their own story. Thousands of foreigners have been willing to share in them, and there are many happy families as a result. I know more good ones than not. We are all in this together. . . we're all human, we all have a story, and we all have something in common, something bigger than us all and those farangs of us that live in Thailand from whatever fortune, adventure, or misadventure that brought us here, if you're not Thai good luck in understanding them. We're still all human. At least we're not in Indonesia where it is ten times harder, or more. Live and let live and in death, let us mourn with the mourning and keep the presumptions to ourselves. According to my research the murder rate in Thailand is dropping. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertson468 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 As a forgeinger you have to be very, very carefull who you associate with as most people here in Thailand are not what they appear to be! Just take all the ladyboys here for example. What a complete load of coswallop. Clearly a reflection on whom you socialize with. Over the years I have made many Thai Friends, including Gay and Ladyboys. They have proved to be intelligent and trustworthy people, many of whom run their own ligitimate businesses. Every Country has their "dodgy people", you need to do a bit of research on where the most murders are committed for instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrendsd Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Was the deceased employed? And if so what was his job? The echo reports that he invited some chap back to his apartment. It's rather depressing to read that the fellow die because he was showed some kindness/hospitality to someone from his hometown. It would be interesting to know the additional circumstances of this case. Read this thread, the Inspector Clouseau's of TV have already provided more info and solved the case by mid afternoon Some of the comments on this thread are pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackinbkk Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Yes not the ideal photo to put up but anyone having a drink in a Thai bar will be stereotyped. The poor guy. It's a sad case, especially for the family back at home. I hope they catch the culprit if he was pushed and that justice is served. I just don't have much faith in the legal system.

MacChine Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) It's a shame his family couldn't supply any pictures which DON'T show the deceased at a bar. We have the prude patrol here today and pray tell what is wrong with the guy being at a bar, a few here need to get a life, best wishes to the family and his unborn child in their sorrow It's official. I've now been called every name in the book. (Perhaps my comment had more to do with the international press and their love of painting Thailand with the "Land of Whores" brush?) And it's inaccurate? You note yourself even the family provides pics where he's cavorting with bar workers. Let's be real, foreign men are here for a reason, "steady stream of girlfriends"... quoting the Mother.
