....sad and pathetic....

...I think I just read somewhere where 14-15 'shots' could kill you....

...now if you are a small Asian woman....I imagine..... less...

...and what was the point....money....attention.....

...it could not have been enjoyment....

[BudRight]

I guess that's what they mean by 'get wasted.'

[oneday]

The man offering her the money should be made to drink the same number of drinks.

Manslaughter. I hope he goes away for a long time.

unconscious “with no pulse and no breathing”

I wonder if they copied this line from a RTP report.

[tomyumchai]

[Bangkok Barry]

Manslaughter. I hope he goes away for a long time.

Why? She drank voluntarily. What killed her was greed.

[ALLSEEINGEYE]

Wow, in that case I should usually be dead by 10pm!!!

Very unfortunate, R.I.P.

No, what killed her was making a few quid from a farang dumb ass who knew better.......Who knew what can happen........A shit.....

Hey hey guys how about a little compromise here? What killed her was growing to the age of 27 and acting as she is 5.

Difficult to know who was the more stupid and irresponsible: the hostess, or the guest.

Maybe partly copied. The full RTP report would have ended with "..........and we are certain it was suicide."

She's going to miss a great New Year's Eve's party...

Technically, did she really pass out? Isn't it the same as drowning?

Would like to see the death certificate....

Did I miss the bit in the OP that said it was a farang guest ?

KTV lounge sounds more like a place frequented by the Asian businessmen..

[maidee]

they see all those great movies where people drink endlessly without any consequences ....
