RickBradford Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Don't imagine that this is anywhere near the lowest they can go. Their lack of self-awareness is so total that I wouldn't be surprised if they invited the victims' families to the island to join in the Grand Events........... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coma Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Big chance that these stoopid " grand travel events " will never take place. Haven't even come close to catching the culprit/s or had the funerals for the deceased and all the Thai government is interested in is getting more money from tourists to the island. Stoopid!!!

monk213 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 So this is just going to fizzle out and 2 or more people involved in a horrific double murder are walking around with their heads held high. This will happen again, probably not on Koh Tao but sooner or later the same type of crime will happen, the same shoddy police work and corruption will prevail, and nothing will be finalized. This country will not change however much you are in love with the junta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blindside Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Dear Minister, Can't you hurry along? I am dying to come on holiday to Koh Tao, maybe there will be some post-murder / dust has settled specials and I can have a cheap holiday. Why not stitch someone up? Haven't found the right person yet? Sure there is some innocent Burmese person you could put in jail! Or maybe somebody will commit suicide by falling down and we can put it on them? Sorry to hear about the slump in tourism. Hope we can both come out of this smiling (NOT). Waiting pensively, Blindside 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobobirdiebuddy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Two young British citizens are savagely murdered and this idiot is only thinking of ways to make a baht out of it. Hey, Mr. Prime Minister, is that what your fortune teller predicted? Two kids killed and a money making opportunity opens up? Shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post smedly Posted September 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2014 Grand travel events planned for Ko Tao after murder case solved Yes lets get the balloons out have singing and dancing in celebration of this dark evil deed - invite parents friends and relatives along too as they will be in a real good place and ready for a big party How about 2 minutes silence with heads bowed and show some respect and while you're at it take a trip to Phuket and visit the poor Russian girl that was just raped twice by a Thai man and most likely almost became another murder victim 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transam Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 This is another episode of folk in authority not having a clue what they are doing. Looking at stuff through Thai eyes and not the international communities eyes. To me shows how worlds apart we still are. The microphone and crispy uniform reigns, we all must bow to that stuff, unfortunately for the charade that has gone on, the west don't bow to that stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cuchulainn Posted September 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2014 Why not just charge an admission fee to the sight where they were bludgeoned to death and get it over and done with?

Basil B Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 And who will profit most from the tours? Rather ghoulish, no doubt based on the Whitechapel tours. (If you do not understand my comment, google Whitechapel tours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudos Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 My thoughts 1) Solve the crime, arrest the REAL perpetrators 2) Establish concrete measures to assure both foreigners and locals that they can feel safe and have something of a semblance of trust towards local law enforcement 3) Put a light curfew in place until the necessary lighting, additional monitoring are all up and running Until all three points are complete, please don't even think about the loss in tourist dollars Us foreigners also need to do our part and avoid this place as a show of respect towards the victims and their families. Otherwise, the locals will think that the tourists will come back anyway and not give a rat's ass about trying to do anything. Case in point: pictures showing happy and smiling tourists stepping off the boat to Koh Tao days after the murders. We are not doing any favours by carrying on willy nilly like nothing happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but you can rule out point 1 you make, as it's established the REAL bastards are off limits... thus forget points 2 and 3. As for avoiding the place, and screwing up the incomes of the alledged perpretators, I cannot agree with you more. Shut the place down from 'farang', including ALL farang, not only caucasian. Let them suffer: 1) for all the locals who cannot be arsed to speak or shout up, and 2) to suppress the incomes of the 'powers that be' - business owners and mafia. Let this not be forgotten, or it shall indeed happen again. Advertise all links to TV on all media you know, less the banned ones which are not supported by this site. Kill tourist visits to KT, and let the bastards lose all income for years to come. Plenty more places to go scuba-diving are available. Sh!t up the rich for once..... or it will never cease that the rich hide or cover-up their sons' actions (c.f Ferrari, or a female surname such as Na Ayudhya).

Misterwhisper Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Sometimes the attitude of the people here - particularly officials - is outright unbelievable. There are still two or more rapists/murderers on the lose, and while police are obviously still trying to find a scapegoat, the minister is already promising festivities, hoping that everybody will simply forget that this grisly double murder ever happened. Dear minister. Instead of frolicking and general merriment, here is what foreign tourists expect: 1) Find and punish the real killers, not some unfortunate scapegoats; 2) Transparency in all matters concerning this case, not pathetic face-saving measures; 3) Eradicate the mafia on the island and ensure they'll never gain a foothold again; 4) Clean up the police and other "influential persons" that are in cahoots with said mafia; 5) Make the island a safe place for a care-free vacation and maintain that status. Then - and only then - can you organize your festivities with a clear conscience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
