Faustian Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Speculation rife, but suggested that it could be from 1992.....? Who knows, a horribly grisly find. Those poor people. I hope they get some justice........ http://www.pattayaone.net/news/2009/may/news_06_05_52.shtml Wednesday 6th May 2009 Containers full of bodies reported to have been discovered off the coast of Sattahip. A disturbing story now from Sattahip District involving the discovery of containers thought to contain dead bodies. The story first broke last week on Thai TV Channel 3 following the discovery of a container surrounded by reportedly hundreds of skeletons. This discovery was made almost two months ago but remained a closely guarded secret until the story was leaked to the press last week.. We understand that a total of 8 containers have been found in three separate locations between Phie Island and Pram Island and 30 nautical miles off the Coast of Juang Island which are all located in the Gulf of Thailand. For many years fishermen have reported the capture of skeletal remains in their fishing nets, however many cases have remained unreported. There is a suggestion some of the containers have been at the locations for up to 20 years. Now that the exact locations of the containers have been identified and a full report has been made to the Police, it is thought these containers will now be recovered and the contents will be revealed. Locals fear the worse and suggest the containers are full of bodies, but this cannot be confirmed until the containers are recovered. We will follow this story and update you when new information is received by us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashermac Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hmmm ... an odd place for them. Another grisly secret is revealed. In the 1990s a mass grave was discovered near Kanchanaburi. The old timers in the nearby villages told said it was one of the places the Nipponese gents buried dead Asian slave labourers from the railway. (Some 100,000 are thought to have died.)

samak Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 war on drugs produced bodies over a long period of time at different locations. this looks more like from a one time big event like the uprising in 1992 and 1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
