Toknarok Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 "The airport is open for departures!!" Enough with this If you don't like it leave nonsense. Can anyone think of a more evocative issue than the murder of a young couple, I spend a lot of time in Thailand why, because like all other TV members I like it. I am free to critisise or complement as I choose, right or wrong I will continue to express my opinion. I have major issues with the general behavior of the human race but I am not planning on leaving earth anytime soon even if I had a rocket to leave in. Yes we are surrounded with awful things corruption, greed, murder and war, We are also part of a beautiful world, that includes Thailand and all other countries. We'll get it right one day Whilst I admire your 'glass half full' attitude, I have to disagree with your stating "I am free to criticise or compliment as I choose" That is simply not the case in this Country at present. Defamation laws, Computer Crimes Act, Lese Majeste and the censorship of all media by the dictator junta, means that people have to be extremely cautious in their behaviour.

GlaswegianTam Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Why all the disharmony and squawking amongst us all my fine feathered friends. How wilfully wrong some people are. These, elderly Thai/farango’s (let’s call them vindicators) are only trying to justify or even illuminate or explain away the reasoning behind their rational for any contemptible scorn poured upon what was once their fellow countrymen.Particularly, before they entered into an arrangement within their group to expel us ordinary everyday Farangs. Never have I seen this anywhere in the world. Especially, once tainted, soiled, sullied, ruined in appeal, to such a degree, one becomes a cynical old fart pent on character assassination now he’s become a defector. Cynicism is the self -praising whip for any demoralised shrinking aged person to utilise as a substitute for intelligence. Please spread the true message amongst any of these hearts of gold folks of the same breed as a wakeup call. Thus, we can forgive them since they feel its paramount to their existence here on Paradise as they know it .. and we know its NOT……… Let’s start a group hugs sessions, for the infirm and not of sound mind tv friends club.

phanangpete Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I know the Police are doing their best at this stage, but foot printing women, well whats next. As many others have commented, at what stage after the murders did they 'close down' the island, the two friends of the poor victim left on a ferry the next day, uh ! To buy a ferry ticket you must sign a book, have they checked that yet, doub't it, no mention anyhow. I think in the future all ticket selling offices , must have cctv, makes sense, dosen't it, then they could check check the images and get a match ! If he, they, have got off the island, ill be amazed if they catch them, unless someone squeals for the 150.000 bt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are, the rich kids that did this have a boat, or access to a boat, or own all the boats in the area. Or even be flown away in one of the police helicopters which keep coming and going. If they are important enough to be protected by the police, they won't need to buy ferry tickets.

Lite Beer Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Police collect DNA sample from almost ten fishing crewmembersKOH TAO: -- Police Sunday collected DNA samples from almost ten crewmembers aboard fishing boats off the shores of Koh Tao, Surat Thani, in the on-going efforts to hunt down killers of two British tourists on the island.The sample will be compared to the DNA extracted from semen found on the female tourist. So far, police said the extracted DNA indicated that the killers are Asians.

huawei Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Sad as it is, that two young people were murdered, I find the Thai-hatred on this thread almost more sad!! The airport is open for departures!! Childish response .. What hatred..2 young adventurous decent human beings were murdered.. Does that matter to the Thais .. No.. Does image matter.. Yes..You clearly are on medicine if you think in terms of relative sadness.. I despair of the types of farangs that now come here ... You lack empathy something you will have in common with a lot of Thais in positions of authority . Edited September 21, 2014 by huawei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaidam Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 One potentially valid point to make(and afaik not reported thus far) is there was a 2 week long football tournament on Koh Tao, winding up on about the same day as the murder. This was a very organized competition with teams from the mainland coming over to compete and all the associated riffraff, hawkers, live music entertainers, mc's, fans. Each night the party at the pitch went until the early hours and some evenings it was fairly rowdy. Now one thing that a team sport such as football instills in it's participants is a tremendous sense of cameraderie. Trust and backing each other up is part and parcel of such a team sport. That each participant was young, fit, male and asian, and that a fair proportion of the participants were partying late at night. Furthermore these people had not neccesarily been aware of young farangs beach party attire and behavior. Well, it's a huge task, but each of these visitors must be tracked down and DNA taken for testing. When recent news reports said that police are following up leads on nearby islands and the mainland, this is possibly one thing they are doing. Tracking down the team players should be straightforward but the ground crew that erected any stadium or stages, and general hangers on could be much more difficult.

ScotBkk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 It really is incredible how they're just clutching at straws with this investigation and doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast. Her family need closure and really can sense people in this forum are uptight themselves and want a quick ending to this farcical merry-go-round. Sitting here thrashing away at our keyboards is really not doing an iota of good to be honest with people arguing away amongst ourselves. All we can do is wait patiently hoping for a good result no matter who the culprits turn out to be. As long as THEY'RE convicted properly on substantial evidence and not just some poor uneducated scapegoats convicted to take the rap .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATM im of the opinion the press by putting out details of information can only force police to look into those avenues if they havnt done to date.... It also adds pressure and right now the only thing thats going to get this solved imo is building the pressure and keeping it up enough to make them do as good a job as they can...because they have to while the pressure is on. To date they are about 2 or 3 days or more behind this forum of what many have been saying or suggesting, usually a rag like the mirror would be a hinderence but tbh in Thailand i bet the UK reporters know more about getting and following leads up and the spin offs than some of the police there if not all. It wouldnt hurt for the mirror to know about the football thing...once public knowledge it has to be looked into if its not been already, it wouldnt hurt at all.

Fat Haggis Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I know the Police are doing their best at this stage, but foot printing women, well whats next. As many others have commented, at what stage after the murders did they 'close down' the island, the two friends of the poor victim left on a ferry the next day, uh ! To buy a ferry ticket you must sign a book, have they checked that yet, doub't it, no mention anyhow. I think in the future all ticket selling offices , must have cctv, makes sense, dosen't it, then they could check check the images and get a match ! If he, they, have got off the island, ill be amazed if they catch them, unless someone squeals for the 150.000 bt . No you don't have to sign a book, there's dozens of travel agent/ferry ticket shops all along the walkway inbetween the dive clubs/shops and bars, all you need to do is pay the money get a booking slip. I never signed anything when I was there 2 months ago You don't have to wait to get the High Speed ones, there's several night time ferries on the go. There's ferries that leave through the night, that depart around 2100-Midnight, where you can sleep on them, and they get into Lumprayah around 0500-0600.

englishoak Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Seems like a lot of new information will be out soon.. they have the guy who ran past the CCTV, hes says something about running to go have a look at the scene.. but the time on the CCTV was 3 hrs before the original report was supposed to have been made about the murders....was there a delay or just the BIB getting the time of the report wrong ? the guys connected to one of the families there and a boss of one of the businesses. but hes clear of suspicion apparently same paper claims 2 Thai 1 Myanmar, what thats based on no idea, found a guy who runs a speedboat business from Koh Tao to Phanyang hiding in a cave on Samui .. no idea what thats about ... paper is sanook but its in Thai so cant link Edited September 21, 2014 by englishoak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
