Popular Post connda Posted December 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2020 Thailand has never struck me as a place where a patient could obtain relief in court for malpractice. I'm sort of surprised we don't hear of more events like this. It would be interesting to know what caused the kid to lose it. We'll probably never know for sure. Unfortunate. RIP. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Such a sad event especially if it comes down to being a case of shooting the messenger of bad news. Is it just a new era of reporting or is it that Thailand is openly starting to suffer an increase in social demise presenting as murderous retaliation for self possessed petty justifications? Too many crack heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammieuk1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The checkup didn't reveal a gun but maybe revealed a gambling debt would be my guess ????Rip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 We have absolutely no knowledge as to the reason, could be anything from a steep bill to a bad diagnosis to a jilted lover, who knows, no one at this stage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have always wondered about that here in Thailand. Not sure of other Countries, such as America, but in U.K. ...........

Bradmeister Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 For all we know the Director was fornicating with the mans wife. Nothing to speculate, more desperate and violent times are ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
