They are from Belfast, part of Northern Irealand, part of the UK. That's why the article says they contacted the British Embassy for assistance.

 

Nothing to do with the Irish government.

[Wazza1]

Where they raped by women? How did a doctor confirm they were raped, considering their lifestyle I would have thought that would be impossible.

[pumpjack]

i call BS .   why did they leave it so long ?  any proof of embassy involvment from the start ?   and who or why go to the newspapers ? 

 

more stories in papers today hopefully then we get a better insight  but untill then i smell a rat

Big fit guys aren't immune to being drugged, I hope your confident attitude doesn't lull you into a false sense of security. IMHO, yes some people are easier victims I would imagine but dont think for one minute less easy victims are immune.

 

Indeed, I am sure there are people out there who target big fit good looking men for the very reason of this article, sexual desires.  I am always careful not to openly flaunt anything expensive or cash in public, not that I have an expensive iphone or mac, mind you so its easier for me. My Nokia 3310 serves me well ?

Just amazing, reading some of these comments !  Ezra cannot even get the sex of the victims right !!

Yeah they do for sure choose their victims who seem to be easier to convince and trick as well as being less hassle to deal with unconscious. I am pretty sure I was given Rohypnol as I have been prescribed diazepam in the past, Rohypnol is basically a more potent version of valium. I felt the foggy hazy headspace for a good 2-3 days after the incident. However big you are, if they manage to slip you some Rohypnol you area goner

Yes, thats because its  a news summary.

 

These guys are claiming to have been robbed and raped. Everything should be done to catch the people that did it. Your comment is simply moronic.

 

I never understand Thailand. When you hear stories like this where the police just dont give a shit well Thailand is going to keep suffering falls in tourism and its reputation just continues to decline.

 

I hope these guys can just get on with life and put it behind them.

Unfortunately the tourists (ATM's) just keep on coming regardless of the well publicised dangers.  Net result: Authorities could not give a flying fly as long as the gravy train to Easy Street just keeps on running.

Sounds like a couple of hung LB's took advantage of an easy invitation.  "I don't remember anything but my ass hurts" is an investigators first Indication that the rest of the story is going to be BS.

If they were from Belfast, it should be the British government

Sounds strange, Did they report it to the police before they left Thailand, I wonder.

 

Did you read the story and see that they claimed the Phuket police just laughed at them?

[BruceMangosteen]

I've only read page one of this story and am sick of it already. That's why we can skip the other four pages and not complain about it. No one is forced to read such vial and disgusting stuff on the internet. Have a nice day mates.

Irish government?  They are from Northern Ireland - not the Republic.

[zorro1]

do you mean to imply that phuket is a dangerous place that it is unsafe to go there.

Nope.

[ValleyCommando]

Yes if from Belfast surely British passport and British government not Irish Republic.

The Irish government is in Dublin, Belfast is in Northern Ireland, which was colonized and then annexed by the UK, much as Russia annexed Crimea.

If it happened as they claim, yes, I hope they can get on with their lives as well. However I don't believe the story and call BS.

How can a doctor confirm they've been raped two weeks after the fact?

Time will tell.

Others find it believable, based on a news summary.

I think Kerry is right though.

Very sad situation for them but when you come to Thailand it could be amazing or very horrific so be prepare for everything after all it is the land of SMILE.

[TerrylSky]

There are indeed actual rapes that sexual assault cases that happen in this wonderful country, but this story is extreme and weird. What would the advantage be if concocting this scenario however? What would they gain? To what extent were their injuries? Seems they were able to travel around easily enough. I don't buy it.

Why?

Belfast couple.... British subjects 

[Oziex1]

Some seem concerned on the insurance/money angle being prominent in this story, I doubt the victims saw it that way perhaps the Thai writer sees this as a priority a highlight of the incident.

 

That would make sense to me as there certainly seems to be an obsession with money in Thailand.
