madmitch Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 "Left for dead"? "swarming with deadly rattlesnakes"? "Island so remote it's not even on the map"? What is this? Journalism or Enid Blyton? Hope they took lashings of ginger beer with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brayka Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 There are south of Hua Hin inhabited islands , where there are a lot of snakes. There is no mention of rattlesnakes, read before you write! And no need for bashing because they are young and female, otherwise it tells me how you look and think about women, respect gentlemen you don’t getting it you have to earn it.

Lucius verus Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 What's a dream holiday? (Sun) You don't want to be dreaming too much in Thailand otherwise you might get run over by tuk tuks,motorbikes or buses. You may even get conned by Thais and end up on a deserted island full of snakes ?? , stinger jellyfish or criminals definitely yes. If one of those girls was stung by a jellyfish on an isolated beach she could easily have died. Zero safety standards in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar God Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We were finally able to eradicate the last of the rattlesnakes at our house in Ubon. At least we can sleep easy without having to listen to that constant rattling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTB1977 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 What an imagination. They were probably told they would come back in 4 hours to pick them up, but it got too hot for the young spoiled farang. No coffee mocha or smoothies. I call bullshit on this stories. I live in Hua Hin and I don't not know of any islands close to here like that. Or any at all as she talks about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver sea Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 The Sun article says: Emily said: “We were there for hours; in the end we saw a fisherman and he helped us contact the people who worked on the beach. "It took a lot of effort and persuasion but the three men came and got us and the journey back to Thailand was very quiet because everyone was so angry. "The icing on the cake was they refused to refund us - which we half expected." Icing on the cake?

hobobo Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I wouldn't believe this story, but fortunately it comes courtesy of the Sun, one of the UK's more reliable papers, according to my dad who used to read it every day - though he hardly ever made it past Page 3. I guess it must have been intellectually very taxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
