Scouse Twoccer Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Why refuse to name the hotel, is it a suspect? The opposite is the reason. The hotel is not implicated in the death and they probably don't want the hotel to suffer as a result of the connection and it is the hotel owner's right not to have the name publicised. Don't worry, though, some vindictive poster here will be along shortly to name and shame for no good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retarius Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 There seem to be too many people doing this sort of thing, although the balcony dive is still the favorite. I wonder what the incidence of suicide among expats and tourists in Thailand actually is. It must be very high if these are suicides and not drug deals/extortions etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaZa9 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The guy had taken possession by rent of a pink Click 125i scooter which he never returned. So certainly no "quality" tourist . The renter has shown me his passport picture and number and has been searching for him and has no reservations with calling him a thief. The pink Click 125 i had the number plate "1 Gaw Gai , Kaw Ruk Kung , 2519" should anyone have seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fookhaht Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) What? No picture of a hanging body with a pixelated face? The Phuket News and Phuket Gazette news rags are falling down on their usual jobs. Edited June 8, 2016 by Fookhaht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
