She was found with 180 baht and one motorbike key in her pockets.Chalong Police are continuing their investigation into her death.Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/phuket-spa-staffer-found-dead-after-leap-from-pier-53508.php -- Phuket News 2015-08-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sviss Geez Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I think the crowd are tourists waiting to be bashed about on there boat trip in two meter waves. I see the ban on small crafts putting to sea is in full enforcement That's probably the reason they're waiting, because the ban is being enforced. Do you see any in boats?

Mudcrab Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Poor lady RIP. Maybe a broken heart after the farang on holidays promised her so much and gave so little when he returned home. More common than a lot of people realise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the ban on small crafts putting to sea is in full enforcement There is no ban.What 2 meter waves, this is rawai beach. Even on the way to racha yai today less than 2 meters.

NamKangMan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Possibly a victim of harsh economic times on Phuket. Many Thai's have debts to pay, and their capacity to repay their debt is diminishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
