harrycallahan Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 "Athidet Sanamthong, 19, spotted the body about 30 metres off the beach while he was fishing so he reel it in" I take it the literal interpretation of this is not correct.

I take it the only plausible interpretation of this must be what it means. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post catweazle Posted October 21, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Find it quite disturbing that the headline reads "farang"... sounds like "unidentified piece of trash drows..." Would it be too much to ask that at least the media that has a foreign, non-Thai background could refer to us kindly as "foreigners" please? RIP to the victim and condolences to family and friends by the way... Edited October 21, 2014 by catweazle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenchair Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wasn't there just a case that the locals said a guy was walking around drunk and walked into the sea. Could that be rope marks. Another case for csi. Rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
