Do you think this may be the start of a crack down on the Kaek Peanut sellers...............

Its arotten job those guys have who collect corpses.

The bags they are carrying look more like they contain launfpdry than a body. Is it being carried out feet forward?

A black man with two phones? Is it typical for tourists to carry two phones or was this likely an African immigrant lime I see on Lower Sukh.

I carry 2 when I'm on holiday. Local SIM and home court SIM.

I'm not a fan of the dual SIM feature on my phones. Too easy to get confused at my age...

On my many walks down the footpath of this khlong, I often wondered what would show up if it was ever dredged!

Ahh...good point.

I usually don't even carry one here--I let my wife field all the calls ;-)

For me, a vacation means I am not tied to a phone.

I do wonder the dead guys nationaility though.

Where is this canal that he would have fallen into?

I am familiar with the one that ran along the old paved footpath from Asok to Lumpini.

Thanks

Maybe Nigeria Scam Artist, or Drug Dealer ? Seems to be a lot of trouble with them all around.

Another field-day for the Thai Visa sleuths...?

A dead body.

Few details.

I thought this thread would have taken off.

Could the fact he was black be the reason for low interest? The thought of a Nigerian scam artist dying sure doesn't hold my interest.

Hey, wouldn't that be something is this body ties into the nigerian scam artists who allowed all that money to be confiscated yesterday?

;/)

I think it was Colonel Mustard wot did it, with a candlestick, in the study!

Elementary my dear Watson, once I found me magnifying glass!

2 phones often relates to drug dealing or something of that nature. Personal phone business phone

Are all blacks Nigerian scammers or drug dealers in your view, then?

I think our budding sleuths are at a conference for budding sleuths in PyongYang, investigating new opportunities.

Yes, it's that canal, the one with the long-tailed boats carrying over 100 commuters.

Someone PM me when you've come up with 5 again please

I bet you his liver and kidneys will be sold to some Chinese Restaurant.

My bet would be on a nigerian scam artist

RIP whoever you were.

I don't know where you got that idea from.

I think some of them are pimps and some are both drug deslers and pimps.

Another reason to love being here...... No keys, no phone..... No fuss

White man dies and all the carpers pretend he's simply a quiet retiree or a gainfully employed expat who angered some Thai and came to a sticky end

Black man dies and all the bigots assume he's a drug dealer or a pimp

I'm beginning to see why some Thais think nothing of blowing a farang away

You are confused. It is not a black man that creates the concern. It is a black Nigerian man and this was quite specifically stated.

I have never had a white farang try to sell me drugs, rent me a woman or try to run a scam on me.

On the other hand, I have had seversl blacks from the African continent attempt to do all three of the above while I walk to Foodland on Lower Sukh.

Come to think of it, I have never had a white farang woman try to rent me her services here in LOS but I have yet to walk by a black African woman who has not grabbed my arm and wanted to bed me for money.

Have they ID'ed the body yet?

Any missing person's reports ?

If he is a decent farang then he should have friends concerned for his whereabouts by now, eh?

I may be going blind but where did it say he was Nigerian? In the article it said he had no id on him.

If so I agree with Agent Sumo.

Its probably his 'friends' that put him there.

All the ones I have met plying their trade downtown Sukhumvit are, and all the ones who keep contacting me on the web are, good enough to say the chances are most of them in LOS are.
