bri1guy Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 KOH samui isnt a seedy resort town, known for hookers! Rest in Peace, you had your 2 minutes of fame. He probably OD on viagra giving him heart attack. Or just was in too bad of health if couldn't even look after himself.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is more space, but THAT much more space??? I would be very dismayed if i decided to treat myself to business class for the first time and anything like that happened. It would appear that the Deceased did purchase additional seats on his travels. Yes, apparently, but he was an exceptional case. The problem is people who are hardly half as obese as him...like someone said about getting two fatsos, one on each side of him. And leaning over / sleeping on him.

balo Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Maybe he was terminally ill and knew it so he wanted to make one last voyage, and that long flight was just a part of the "show". Now he probably enjoyed the last month in Thailand instead of spending his last days in a hospital bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMSIII Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 He was obviously a miserable guy, to have let himself go like that, and to be so rude like he was to the EVA flight attendants. Something tells me this was not his first or last time of being jerk to other people. Maybe now he can find some kind of peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The airline situation is down to the check in staff not barring him. How did anyone even get in an economy toilet to wipe his bum anyway? Sounds like a typical piece of "The Sun" gutter press reporting which is confirmed by 16 hours ago, webfact said: seedy Thai resort famed for prostitution. Koh Samui a seedy resort? It has BGs like every Thai resort, but it's hardly Pattaya, is it? 17 hours ago, webfact said: A stunned flight attendant told how the hulking passenger boarded the plane on a wheelchair and asked to be given three adjoining seats in economy class due to his size. So he asked after boarding? Someone is making things up. However, can we imagine what it must have been like for anyone seated next to him? BTW, boarding in a wheelchair is nothing unusual.

There was a very large bar area over the lagoon at Chaweng near the Reggae Pub when I went there in the 90s. The bar area may have gone ( I never went back to Samui after it went "upmarket" and got ruined ), but the scene will still exist. Lamai also had loads of BGs.

Let's also not forget it's over crowded, with a failing infrastructure, is smelly, has appalling drivers even by Thailand standards, and the quality of Farang holidaying there (especially in Chaweng), is low even compared to Pattaya standards.... and that's saying something. Quality post. Thanks for your view. Clearly you must have spent a few days in very high season in Chaweng to come to such a nonsense view of Samui.

Sydebolle Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 The boys down at TAT will be going over the moon for "The Sun" reporting from Koh Samui, according to them a "seedy Thai resort famed for prostitution". Article 44 must be pulled and "The Sun"'s website blocked for good. On a more sombre note, there are seedier places better known for its horizontal business activities and Samui, albeit completely outpriced for what they offer, is still more of a family resort than certain seaside resort close to Bangkok ????

JetSetFvr Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 Rather funny how the writer assumes the resort was famed for it's hookers. Any idea which one it could be as I'm calling foul due to their assumption and my experience there. Rather slim pickings but if anyone has an idea, fill me in.

Great idea though. The amount of farangs I have seen slide off their bikes on the sharp corner around the lake leading to the girly street is laughable. In house saves a lot of pain.

randy723 Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 I understand that he was on Eva air because Thai Air or china air would not let him fly with them because of his size and health. Thai air and China air both have direct non stop flight from Los Angeles to Bangkok and is cheaper than Eva Air and 5 1/2 hours faster because the do not stop in Taipei.
