A completely illogical Post whether you have personally encountered threat of violence or not in London or Samui.

 

But you feel safe on a group of islands where tourists are clearly being targeted. You would be happy for young English backpacker friends / associates to travel to Samui / Thao would you? Would you give them a warning or just say i have been here 12 years and nothing has happened to me !

 

When was the last time a tourist was murdered and dumped in the River Thames. How many tourists in London comparedwith the number on Samui / Phangan / Thao???

I don't live on the islands,nor would i anymore than i would live in London. My point is that Thailand as a whole is no more dangerous than anywhere else and a lot safer than many. If you take London, not one day goes by without knife attacks, acid attacks or rape. I live in the countryside near a small market town, no problems here.

It is Worth considering this one also, when thinking about the other Case / Cases on Ko Tow I think ... Same Same ? ... But Different ??? ...

 

Like did they REALY have to kill her to Rob her ??? … 

 

…  Yes Thailand Sure is becoming more Dangerous I think, ... In the Tourist areas at least !!! … I live just off the Asia Highway, about 10 K north of Ayutthaya, and we do not EVER see anything like this really. (And well the driving is a Lot easier here also I think)  ...

 

… So Why are things starting to Spin so out of control in the Tourist Areas ??? …  Increasing Numbers ??? … Increasing  Numbers, with no real connection to the country ??? .... No, ...ALCOHOL !!! ... (And I am a semi Recovered Alcoholic myself, so it is a case of the admitted, Black pot, calling the Kettle black !!! ) ... or would it be drugs ??? .... No Alcohol !!! I think. … Which is a scourge everywhere just about, in the world now ..Like Violence at Night around Night Spots ...

 

Adelaide, where I come from Melbourni !!! Sydney !!! ..and do not even mention other Places Like The OK, or Glasgow !!! Right !!!

 

…. Alcohol !!! … Where they are Increasing the supply, extending the hours, Increasing the Incentive to drink, .. to enrich a very Few !!! … and Really Bugger up !!! a very Lot as far as I can see.   …  My Good, but well, Obviously unhappy Lawyer Just dropped dead d/t Alcohol God Dam !!! And he is just One, of MANY as we all know.

 

… But, Never Mind, … Still Dodging the Bullet well enough myself, and Not planning on going to any Thai Tourist spots, outside BKK any time soon …

 

And  On On

They probably killed her because she knew them

[Mark mark]

Yes Soalbundy Probably quite true !!!

 

Have you ever had a Good Business Relationship, … with a Motor cycle Repair shop let’s say !!! …  Just You the Folang, who knows the ropes, and them, good Thai Working people !!! … And then they find out that they are related to your Wife !!! ...And the Price Goes up right away !!! ...  Like not down !!! ...  UP !!! ...And you have to find a New Motorcycle repair shop, that you at Not related to, in order to get back to a reasonable Deal ???

 

 Like TIT, and yes Fimiliararity does Breed Contempt !!! and they Know it, which is why they (Any one WITH Money) always try to avoid it ??? ...  Have you ever noticed that ??? ...

 

…  So they stab her in the stomach, a mentally Challenged Woman,…   but they know her, … .... and then they steal her Gold necklace. … …  I do not think that I can Post what I really think of them here, or it will be Justifiably Pulled I suppose.

I think that they gave the Amnesty, Like who is now going to do all the work !!! ???  But they all have left any way as they can see the writing on the wall and they know that the Military WILL act.

 

I know a fellow from Cambodia that was Caught trying to get from here, back to Cambodia with his 6 Mths of Illegal work Pay, hidden in his shoe ... He argued with the Cops that had stoped him for a While he said, as they tried to get any money that they thought that he had on him, ... But well he WAS a Nice Guy, and had Polio, so they let him go ... and he said that he walked 50 M down the road !!! … And then Hailed a Cab, still in the broad sight of the Cops !!! and they Just Laughed at him !!! and Waved back at him !!! ... Like a Good story !!! ??? …  Or TIT ...

 

Ps. A bit off topic, but well, I have seen, that in Thailand, to hid stuff in your Shoe, is a Good Idea !!! …  as well Thais and even Thai Cops, … generally, like to keep away from them !!! ??? Right !!! ??? ….  So Just hide it in your shoe and smile !!! … (And LIG) … ???

You're right,, but not many other, "popular tourist" destinations where you have to worry about the local police/forensic/authorities, covering up your, or a family members suspicious death as a suicide,,, for very little $,, or simply to blame it on you, or yours, or pick some local immigrant workers, to protect the $ income, and make sure other's will continue to come,,, I'd guess that in London let's say,, the local police will do what it takes to find the ACTUAL perpetrator of a crime against a tourist, or a local, with no concern about what it, "might" do to the $ income from tourism,, instead of blaming you, or yours, or anyone but a National, with little to NO investigation, or simply lie about it,,

Quick analysis here:
 
Samui
62,500 residents
1,500,000 tourists per year

Flawed.
62.500 people registered on a housebook on Samui.
Add 100.000 mainlanders living on Sumui that are registered on the mainland.
Then we have the Burmese and the Expats.

Yes, but i have the feeling that many tourists that get into trouble have only themselves to blame, freedom, holiday, i can do anything i want. They engage in risky activities without a thought and start bleating when it goes wrong. My daughter (30) came on holiday with her boyfriend and after visiting me went island hopping, they only had good experiences, they stayed in good hotels and in huts that i wouldn't put my dog in, they stayed with some villagers and even went out on a fishing trawler working for a few days for the fun of it. They didn't go out in bars until 3 in the morning and they don't do drugs. They can't wait to come back again.

4 back packer girls came to my condo block the other day. I think some are rented out on air bnb. nice posh girls. 2 pretty hot. asked them where they were heading as they waited in the lobby for their keys. they're heading south after a couple of nights in bkk. asked where should they go. just said if I were you I wouldn't go to tao. they are. oh well 555

nice thanks for the trouble and time in the figures.......so why are people complaining?....these are the safest places on earth since the ratio's are there to protect us!!...as our good friends in cool places would say..."this is all a big misunderstanding"©

According to statistics, a Tsunami like the one in 2004, occurs every 500.000 years!

Approx. 400.000 people would be really happy to know this- were they still alive!

Not so much that,, but it does when you add the fact that was reported she's know to always wear a 1 baht necklass that she mentioned had gone missing while living with the 2 Burmese people...

This goes to show that to them you are nothing more than a disposable piece of shit. They don't even bother to bury the corpse where it is more difficult to find. 

Aren't they going too far now?

I am waiting to see what else they are going to do next?

Between my Post and your reply above  there is Post 169 which i presume you should have read. If not please read it before trying to defend yourself and yet again make totally inaccurate / misleading  comments about the level of crme in London in comparison to what s happening on the islands. As another Poster also commented in London if there is a crime against a tourist you know that the Met or City of London Police will investigate it in the same way as other crime and without predujice.

 

Likewise to assume that the only tourists that are being murdered have effectively asked for it by bad behaviour or not being cautious enough is yet another foolish assumption.

 

Why are you trying to defend the indefensible ? Like you i have not been personally threatened or attacked in either Thailand or the UK but statistically Thailand is a dangerous place for violent crime

oh on, i think you will find there are many many that have 'beef' with the samui times, that would be the reason for them being sued...

Check out the  international homicide  rates  by country. And  not forgetting that western countries  are better at saving  victims  of  attempted  homicide via  trauma  care.

If you want to live somewhere nice in the U.K. I'd suggest the cotswolds. Around cheltenham way. Hardly any crime. Really nice but bloody boring. Personally, I'd rather live in Thailand. Each to their own I guess

It doesnt mean that no .

They are two different separate cases

Just because two Burmese got framed on KT, that doesnt necessarily mean that all Burmese suspected of murder, will have also been framed

I agree with you Happy Enough. I am just challenging, false, sweeping, misleading and inaccurate statements. You can still be a lover of Thailand without the need to pretend that all is hunky dory.

 I am inclined to agree with you and as hannah  and david were tourists in a foreign country obviously not going to be a domestic matter. However news getting out that the  2 suspects in this case are Burmese sort of comes across as 'sticking 2 fingers up to the world'. They would have been wise to keep that suspicion to themselves !
