Murdered and jabbed with a syringe then hung from the door.  Put one dollar in her pocket to make it authentic.

Then lock the door from the inside.

They've all been told that "some foreign locale" is paradise and will "unwind" them.

 

They arrive on their own and find that is not the case.

 

They are now a troubled person, among strangers, with no "safe" place to go.....their anxieties become even more exagerrated.

 

Their journey has actually heightened the dangers of self harm, with the all too familiar results.

I hear that a lot of people go to Alaska to "escape" from their problems. Doesn't work out. Many end up dead or missing.

Well we will probably never actually know the real story

We don't know for sure... it could be they thought it was locked but her body was blocking the door. Thais are just not thorough which is why there is all this speculation. It probably was suicide and she thought of it as her 'last journey' last jab of heroin knowing she would collapse and the rope did the rest but we don't KNOW and we don't trust the BIB to be thorough so it is what it is.

Thais have no respect

Heroin withdraw has depression as a side effect. But it could have been for a number of reasons she ended it all. The saddest part of suicide is not the death of the person, it's the family she has left ruined.

Mr Gossip has spoken.

...'door locked from the inside'...???

...no...door was locked....and if it can be unlocked with a key from the outside...it can be locked with a key from the outside....???

 

...same with all the 'hotel deaths' with 'no sign of struggle'......

 

...keys obviously float around....

 

...one would suggest overlooking this is criminal....???

 

...and is it too much to check the blood of all these 'suicides'.....

 

....in case they were in fact poisoned or incapacitated and therefore....unable to 'put up a struggle'...

 

...'some people suffer from serious mental illness'....and are therefore capable of anything....

 

...including theft and murder....???

Strange place to commit suicide.

Even stranger-----she hanged herself from the "door handle"????? How high are the door handles?Did she die trying to jump up to reach the handle? OH I got it---she was just a tiny little girl. Reporters DUH !!!!

Poor girl.   I know the trains are really bad .........  obviously she was traveling alone, she should have had a companion.

 

RIP.

You must report your informmation to the police.

Any there not any decent thais out there to protests?

 

Or decent farang.

 

Close to 20M people come to Thailand every year. Imposing statistical population.

 

Take the average duration of the stay and apply statistics of suicides, natural deaths, etc., all you mention is about 'normal'. Happens everywhere but you only know about here thanks to TV.

poor, poor, poor girl......

Why.?.

Have any members been asked to produce a passport when travelling on a train within Thailand? I was never asked in the five years I lived there, although that was in the early noughties.

I have been asked several times and showed them a copy that I carry.  The only reason they wanted it was to spell my name.

 

Her untimely and sad ending wouldn't be in vain had anyone, anyone at all

learned anything out of it and has registered a message in their brains that

this is how you'll end up being in her situation, but alas. her death is for

nothing, a cry in wilderness no one will hear or ever heed....

Every adult person in Thailand must carry some sort of id.

The news reports are often poor and inconsistent too. However, this does not seem controversial: 

 

"Railway cleaners at Hualampong Station got a nasty shock yesterday afternoon when they fetched a key to open a toilet door that was locked on the inside."

 

I think they would have applied pressure to the door before going for the key. Regardless, if it was only her bodyweight blocking the door what use would a key be? They would still have the same problem they had before going for the key.

I am always asked for ID, the driving license works in my case. But it would probably depend on how strict the cashier is, maybe a Farang with a lot of verbal could get on.

 

(I am now also asked for ID when sending EMS packages as well, this started a few months ago.)

Hopefully the family doesn't see the video in Post #11 before they are informed.

If the family saw the video I posted on Thai visa before they were informed I apologize.

yes with no thought for the family but Thais respect very little anyway so we should not be surprised

well maybe that's more logical and it was locked inside and I have little doubt she did what she did but the utter lack of professionalism we see with the body dumped on the railway platform so all can see and take photos is sickening

When you purchase the ticket you're asked for passport (or other means of identification), which is logged into the system, and then printed for the conductor, whom checks the Passport/ID number from the list when inspecting tickets. I was reserving tickets from Chiang Mai to Bangkok, for friends arriving in a few weeks, around songkran, and couldn't purchase the tickets without copies of their passports (tried three cashiers, just to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding what they wanted, lol).

Must have been a horrid discovery for the poor cleaners.  

 

The cops seem to be hastily jumping to the usual conclusion of suicide by a drug addict.  

Forgive my skepticism, but how is it POSSIBLE to hang yourself from a toilet door?

Oh, sorry, door locked from the inside, right...? MUST be suicide then, eh?

It's really not that difficult.
