MikePhuket1970 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I just spoke this morning with a friend of mine in USA. He is a tropical horticulturist who has visited Thailand for 20+ years working with university persons and Thai government officials. He was way up on the past news of floods and coups as he has visited Thailand during such troubled times. He watches every day the US version of BBC and NHK Nightly news on free US public television. I asked him what he knew about the recent murders on Koh Tao. He said: Nothing ... the murders have not been mentioned on those 2 broadcasts. And that makes you,the army,the RTP,Nomsod and Mon happy but your happiness will not last forever 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows about this case. I was discussing this with my 70 year old mother on the phone yesterday and she was well aware of it. Her main news sources are national and regional TV news in the UK and the local newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iReason Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 @ Number 3 Re 352: Remember it was Bangkok bib that removed the colonel in charge of the investigation when the truth started to appear. On the 24th Sept, the already identified suspects reported on the 23rd, were suddenly not suspects anymore. Would these dates correspond closely to the BKK bib taking over? Yup. http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/one-tourist-murder-suspect-now-arrested-another-run/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaPiPuPePo Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 True tidbit: I had a break-in at the 2nd story of my Thai house. Cops arrived. I showed them muddy boot prints on a white outside wall - where the thief had likely climbed up an adjoining tree. Police grinned and waved it away as inconsequential. Inspector Clouseaus, they aren't. didn't you mean to say "ARE"? You're right. I forgot: Clouseau was a bumbler. How about this:"Inspector Poirots they aren't" Poirot better to be sure; but wasn't the thing about Clouseau that he got also his man in the end? Speaking of books/movies, not the cartoon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPiPuPePo Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I find it interesting that some writers believe that having the British police here will be a waste of time. I would imagine these officers are the best of the best under strict orders from the PM, and if you think that a bunch of Thai police can hinder their technical investigation I think you been in Thailand to long. For one thing the new Thai PM is clever enough the best in years will open any means to properly solve this case. It's 2014 and if Thailand is to be taken seriouly on a world stage then they will learn and not hinden, after Billions of $$$ are at stake. The world is watching especially the ASEAN partners, it time Thailand wakes up, there's more to making a society and economy grow then just screwing tourist. Stop importing cheap China products, education the people and create jobs. India declared yesterday to stop the influx of China products which is causing lost of jobs. So, I think you'll find a few more police with all of the decorations and ribbions on their shirt fired. Every cop in Thailand has a paratrooper jump pin on their chest, bullshit. Where do they buy these things. Teachers dressing like military officers, who dresses these people. The point being International attention to this case and false sense of being special here in Thailand with vanish, its just a country with many many problems and the outside is coming, like it or not. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth................... Do you have anything to contribute other than these one-liner dismissals of others' posts? Maybe something based on experience, fact, that kind of thing?

Not sure everyone here regards the US as the center of the universe, in my humble opinion I'm not at all surprised its not a well known piece of news over there. But for Europe, the UK, and Australia where the bulk of the tourists come from then it is widely publicized. On the BBC it has been covered numerous times on the UK version. Yes one day this will be over and lets pray that the day is coming soon, its what we all want, so long as its an ending that provides justice to the victims, families and those accused. What will people do after, get on with their lives I hope, justice has been done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozza Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm not sure if this is correct. CSI La seems to be saying that Nomsod has been arrested and that Hannah was shot in the head. Interesting. And may I say finally this had been released then. CSI LA has posted the claims and as I have difficulty with the site I can't find it now..it was mentioned that it was on the scottish news. I looked there and nothing. I also went to the Scotland Yard site and nothing. Someone suggested it may have been a theory from a Thai poster..the gun bothers me a little. Recently the police showed a gun supposedly found in a Myanmars hut. From what I could read on CSI, majority are saying the shooting sounds more plausible and would explain blood and (can't say it) on the rocks. If you go to timeline on the site you may see it tucked away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozza Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 What to think of Nomsod if he really does leave the country. That will do his reputation no good at all. I guess its already taking a battering anyway, guilty or not. I think the poor kid is being poorly advised if he does leave. His phone records on that night would prove his innocence. Sad that his girlfriend also said he was missing in action on the 15th on her Facebook page. Guess she couldn't help her breaking heart and had to post. I'm surprised she didn't just go and track him down at uni. That's women for you though, they can be evil when they sense something amiss. His lawyer could have helped a bit more by releasing the actual video footage from his apartment but I guess at the time and needing proof quickly a still photo was probably enough. Poor little bloke just can't seem to take a break from those around him. Even his cousin posting on her Facebook page that she was with him was just trying to show her love for him and protect his reputation and prove his innocence. Just silly that she was in Pattaya but love for your family sometimes can make you those things. I really hope he doesn't leave the country, the monsters out there will say that he is running away and hiding and thus proves his guilt. That of course would be nonsense as he could probably do with a holiday right about now. I think you should stay Nomsod, apologise to the jilted girlfriend, flowers perhaps and dont worry about these nasty people on the internet dragging your reputation for the rest of your life through the mud. What do they know anyway. Just change your phone number and start fresh. Don't forget the flowers. He hasn't been jilted..he was photographed a few days ago lunching with her. Looked like he didn't have a care in the world. A few thugs were there drinking they must be the bodyguards. All on CSI folks what a treasure trove.

It is indeed a treasure trove but, mixed amongst those precious jewels and metals is a vast amount of conjecture which posters are putting forward as fact. CSI LA have done a fantastic job but, the site tends to get overexcited at times, particularly its posters, and rumour becomes accepted fact very quickly. Unless the admin of the page posts something, it is better not too give too much credibility as there are just as many conspiracy theorists there as here!!
