Lord Lucan Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Learn to. Swim, forget it. most of them haven't mastered the simple task of riding a bike or driving a car to any degree of competency or safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 In a Thai khlong, it is not only the drowning which is a danger - all sorts of other nasty ways to die.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essaybloke Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Honthy this comment of yours- Sorry, I feel no sympathy. Drug dealers. That's a mindless reaction to a tragedy for their families and friends. These guys were victims of ridiculous drug laws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Three young drugees drowned while trying to escape from being arrested. I feel sad for their friend and families but not really for them. I feel for the divers who went into that Khlong to try find their bodies.
