I missed the part of the article about suicide, could you provide a link? I did, however, read that doctors have yet to conclude the cause of death.

dunroaming Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 If he came to Thailand to commit suicide why has he been driving around in a leased car since January. So much speculation and so quick to cry suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it less safe than other counties where Brits retire to and die either naturally or unnaturally? No need for evidence on Thai visa mate. Just make stuff up, post it, if it is somehow negative about Thais or Thailand, it will get repeated everyday, then people will people will believe it as fact. My figures show that an overwhelming number of Brits deaths happen in England. Thousands of them everyday. This should be looked into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Seams or appears to be that suicide is the most affordable health insurance for older farangs who find themselves in poor health. I am sure it is the policy of last resort we all think about. It is the best option as compared to being a hospital ATM with a whole lot of suffering attached. It sure is the option I would choose.

BritManToo Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I would have thought the most likely cause of death would be drowning while out for a holiday swim. Most of those dying in the sea (that weren't run down by a boat or jetski) are accidental. I go swimming alone all the time (not in Thailand as it's too dirty for me), but in the UK, France and Spain, car park by a beach, walk down, have a swim. I'm certainly not contemplating suicide, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
