TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well, there goes the tourism industry from Moldova to KT... How will KT ever survive??? Maybe the TAT can start handing out little cards to the tourists that arrive on the island... Something like... "Please don't die HERE!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well - that's not correct.... Moldova is no 55 of the poorest countries in the world and Thailand no 117 so we can assume that it was cheaper in Moldova... https://www.atlasandboots.com/poorest-countries-in-the-world-ranked/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because of the money from massive amounts of tourists that go there every year and survive. Also lack of evidence, you know, not rumours and speculation. Also, useless police force on that island. Thailand is not known for its ability to control it's police forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for show when this seems obvious that drowning was the cause here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedly Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Just like Mr Millar who was found floating in a swimming pool - he obviously drowned regardless of the battering he got that was never considered relevant RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Quick, better get Big Joke back down there to sort it, later to be advised, it was all a misunderstanding by the media, the security guard spotted the items on a beach in Phuket, not Koh Tao, but the body floated all the way down to this beautiful island.

He's in Immigration now, no longer in Tourist Police. So he probably wouldn't be involved here, unless he was to come along and want to charge the dead Moldovan guy posthumously with overstaying his visa!!!!

If big joke consults his tidal maps, soothsayers and bar owners club of Koh Tao I am sure he will be able to solve this riddle with the speed of a thousand gazelles. In the meantime whilst we await the crime fighting skills of the caped crusader to right all the wrongs in the world I will just carry on blissfully ignoring where it is located and hope that I never get ship wrecked there. I think you may be confusing a country with a soap opera... Moldavia was the site of the infamous massacre at the wedding in Dynasty... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynasty_(1981_TV_series)#"Moldavian_Massacre" As for getting shipwrecked in Moldova, best of luck there - it's landlocked... ????

Not one post on the body of a foreigner found floating off Phuket today. Probably because this article is highlighted at the top to make it stand out. But the body found in Phuket is far more suspicious. From the article - "The body was retrieved from the water and brought to the beach. Bruise wounds were found on the man’s neck and blood was also coming out of his ears. His body was taken to Thalang Hospital for further examination to find the cause of death."
