SAMUI: -- The female boss of a Samui tour company was found dead Wednesday in a bedroom above the business on the Thaweeratphadee Road.

A friend had spoken to Ratanaporn Sukmeeklin, 27, on Sunday but then contact had ceased and her company, "Thaiger Travel" was shut up. The friend Kusuma Burawat, 29, drove over and noticed a bad smell coming from the premises and alerted the police, reported Daily News.

The premises was locked and police used a spare key to gain entry and found the decomposing body of Ratanaporn in a second floor bedroom. There were no marks on the clothed body, no signs of a struggle and everything was in place.

Kusuma told police that her friend was overweight, about 55 - 60 kilos, and was often complaining about her size. She ordered many kinds of slimming drugs and took them one after another to try to get slim. She felt sure that the drugs were to blame and that her friend had suffered a stroke after taking them.

Police took several different varieties of slimming drugs found in the property into evidence. The body was sent for autopsy to find the exact cause of death.

Sad the pressure to conform here. RIP

Please be respectful... when posting... A disrespectful post removed.

We met several times, RIP young lady.

Sad the pressure to conform here. RIP

The pressures to conform are everywhere.

Rules and their enforcement to protect people from being harmed by the products peddled to help them conform, aren't everywhere.

Sad story for someone that should have been having the time of her life- helping tourists have fun. A dream job for many.

I like eating.

I like eating.

You can eat all you want and lose weight if you want. Slimming drugs aren't needed either. I think that weight lifting is the most effective way to lazy weight loss. When you add muscle tissue it burns fat night and day. 3 hours a week in a weight lifting gym for guys and girls. 3 hours is very little time. But the weight loss is noticeable.

Another thing. Cut out the sugar drinks. Water or drinks with reduced sugar. You drink those all day long and it will dramatically increase your calorie count.

it would be so much better if these drugs and others were dispensed more liberally under medical control.

...seeing how vile and vicious people in the tour business are...they better investigate...

...but they should do so for all deaths...regardless of race...or apparent circumstances....or 'hearsay explanations'.....
