We need more beef to decide if there was or not. Any ladyboys onvolved, a creazy bar lady with a jealous husband would help alot. Or he thought Thailand would solve all his problems, and spent his fortune in 3 weeks, and nowhere else to go when his love of his life left him behind. We need more details.

Not sure he have a gf? Doesnt say in the article as far I could read, but you mentioned the phone. And the phone is not listed as well. As far we know, it could have been a bf, or nobody. You could asked, where is his drinking buddies. ? What kind of alcohol did they drink. That is a very important detail, to get closer to solving this mystery.

I love how people on here act like a short article in a Thai newspaper should be treated as a comprehensive police report and will contain all the facts to allow amateur sleuths like them to solve a crime.

Tragic a man have to kill himself in Thailand, but many lost souls come here trying to find something they did not find home. The dissapointment when not find it, could lead to many things.

The sad fact is that the published information may very well be the complete police report. Not all of the cynicism on TV is without foundation, especially when it involves one of the worst and most callous police forces in the world. Anyway, people are going to speculate and conjecture, whether it be here on TV or in the corner pub back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
