Wavefloater Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 For sure suicide, no need to look any further. You obviously work for the Thai police. They once found a guy in Pattaya with his hands tied behind his back, a plastic bag taped to enclose his head, and several stab wounds, They also called that one a suicide and closed the book on the case, but I've got to admit that this one seems a little more likely to be an actual suicide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsianAdvisor Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 You may wish to read this article which demonstrates that elderly white males are more likely to commit suicide. Its a known social phenomena and there are many reasons why. http://www.prb.org/Articles/2006/ElderlyWhiteMenAfflictedbyHighSuicideRates.aspx For the poor guy involved, may his soul rest in peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why does he comes to Phuket for killing himself? A sort of a ladyboy story? Drugs? The information is very scarce and leaves too much room for suggestions and imagination... Better close this topic until more details are known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiritrace Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Again it's the African Elephant Burial Ground Syndrome. Farangs go to Thailand to when they are ready to die, like the African Elephants go to a central location..... Hmmm this is so weird. It has to be above the average norm. I think this needs to have the name,,"Farang Elephant Syndrome". Good material for a student to write his thesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Don't forget the western guy in Bangkok who was found atop an abandoned building the other day hung by some kind of hose... supposedly been dead three days or so before discovery. It seems like there's some kind of epidemic going round. (The BKK item in the On Nut area also was posted here as a TV news item). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspermayne Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Well it does look like suicide but still a felony is possible, they must investigate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markaew Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Wow!! Phuket is in the news quite often. Is this a trend? I think so. No wonder they can't get teachers there. Frankly, I believe this is a trend throughout Thailand. This is getting ridiculous. It was a matter of time with the influx of Russians to start finding some of them hanging as well. Watch your backs guys! Edited April 4, 2012 by Markaew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
