Flashermac Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I am almost positive that hotel used to be the Hotel Hilton International. The hotel changed hands when they opened the new Hotel Hilton International on the other side of the river. You are right. It was the Hilton Hotel in the Park. I liked it very much (and one of the female staff ... sigh). Many hotels are locally owned, but are managed by an international chain. The original Sheraton is almost opposite the end of Patpong. The Sofitel Central was the Hyatt Central in the 1980s. I used to know every hotel and their GMs, F&B and PR staff. That was 20 years ago. Bangkok went on a hotel building spree in the 1990s, and now there are just too damned many for them all to make money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTO Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think it's now part of the Singapore group? Penis PArk - nothing strange about that! It's quite fascinating - well worth a trip and the hotel is quite interesting to wonder around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorinthian Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Anyway, back to the dead movie star... We got woken up last night about it by the Embassy. I can post more later. Lets just say he was a little twisted.... That stuff with the "safe word" would have saved his ass for as little at 5000bht! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakai Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Depends on the 'safe word' if the safe word is similar to the one in the movie Eurotrips then I understand why he is dead. Either an assisted suicide or a bondage SM game gone too far. (being fully bound is not unusual) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 THE NATION 5 Jun 2009 Star dead after sex game gone wrong? "Kill Bill" actor David Carradine may have died during a sex game that went wrong, Thai and US media reported Friday. He was discovered by a housekeeper, half naked and hanged. [color:red]The star's close friend, attorney Vicki Roberts, and his manager Chuck Binder, insisted that he died of natural causes.[/color] The media reported that Carradine may have died attempting auto-erotic asphyxiation - where victims achieve heightened sexual pleasure by restricting their air supply. The speculation is based on a Thai police report saying, "A rope was attached to his neck and also to his penis". There was no suicide note and an unnamed officer claimed the death may have been an attempt at auto-eroticism. The circumstances are similar to those surrounding the unexplained death of Michael Hutchence, the INXS singer who was found hanged in a Sydney hotel room in 1997.

Flashermac Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 More from THE NATION - Thai forensic experts says David Carradine's death "abnormal" Thai forensic experts Friday characterized the death of US actor David Carradine, whose body was found in his hotel closet the previous day, as "abnormal." "David Carradine's death was an unusual one," said Nanthana Sirisap, head of the autopsy division at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn Hospital that examined the actor's body. "The case is abnormal," she said, without elaborating. The body of Carradine, 72, who first shot to fame in the 1970s Kung Fu television series, was found 11 am Thursday in the closet of his suite at the five-star Swisshotel Park Nai Lert Hotel. --------- Pornthip says Carradine might have accidentally died during auto-eroticism attempt Pornthip Rojanasunan, director of the Central Forensic Medicine Institute, said Friday circumstances indicated that David Carradine's death might have been at attempt at auto-eroticism. Pornthip said Carradine's death matched four indicators of auto-eroticism. The four indicators are: 1) the deceased was a man 2) the dead man a appeared to have sexual deviation 3) the body was naked 4) the sex organ was tied.
