Flashermac Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 At around 3pm in the 1st of January 2015, police and rescue teams were called to a bungalow on Koh Tao where the body of a 29-year-old French man was found hanging from the ceiling of his rented bungalow. Suspicions arose over what appeared to be a suicide when on further inspection it was discovered the man’s hands were tied behind his back. Wounds were discovered around the man’s neck as well as two 5cm lacerations to his arm, one near his wrist the second near to his elbow. It is thought the man had been dead for around two hours. The door to the man’s bungalow, later identified as Dmitri, was open and there was no sign of a struggle. Police and rescue workers found a note on the man’s bed that suggested a recent love affair may have come to an end and that the man recently lost one of his grandparents; however, questions are being asked as to how it is possible for anybody to commit suicide with their hand tied behind their back. An autopsy is expected to reveal whether or not that man was drugged. http://www.samuitimes.com/french-man-found-hanged-koh-tao-hands-tied-behind-back-foul-play-suspected/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yes "questions are being asked as to how it is possible for anybody to commit suicide with their hands tied behind their back" "Because it isn't anything other than suicide, Foreigners in Thailand don't die any other way, so this person must have been a contortionist or a magician." said Major General Captain Admiral Cheerleader Vice Consul General Secretary Colonel Somchai of the police box on the corner of Soi 131 and Sukhumvit. "He must have been a very clever man, to inflict not one, but several wounds to his neck and arm, then tie his hands behind his back and then hang himself. These Farangs are devilishly clever and not at all in tune with the Thai way of doing things, they will never understand Thailand". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 When questioned about the likely International press coverage, that this suicide may generate, particularly in light of recent events like the Koh Tai murders, Major General Captain Admiral Cheerleader Vice Consul General Secretary Colonel Somchai reminded Thai reporters, that "The International Press will only try to undermine Thai National Unity and therefore anything they may write, should be viewed as evidently untrue and false", he went on to to note, that autographed pictures, of himself, the victim and twenty seven other policemen from his department, posed according to rank, would be available at the conclusion of the briefing. ​In related news, the Tourism Authority of Thailand issued a statement that reading, in part, that " Despite the unfortunate image that dead foreigners were trying to bring to Thailand, Thailand was still a warm and welcoming nation with famous world class hospitality and the Thai Tourism Industry is now determined to attract high quality tourists."

Flashermac Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Police plan to re-enact the suicide, as soon as they find another Frenchman to hang. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 from a trusted source it has been revealed that two Burmese workers escaped quietly from Samui prison, hanged the Frenchman and as quietly went back to prison, to avoid any consternation. Major General Captain Admiral Cheerleader Vice Consul General Secretary Colonel Somchai neither confirmed or denied the story, since otherwise the foreign press might see this as a confirmation that the RTP might be looking for a scapegoat.

Coss Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 My understanding of the Thai Language is (mods please move to the language thread if need be) that the word for "ScapeGoat" and the word for "Foreigner" is identical and is not a confusion, but rather a given, amongst the Thai people. Flash or others may be able to explain this better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 From www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/conseils-par-pays/thailande-se-méfier/ translation by googly. Because of the bad weather that hit the south of the country, the Thai authorities have issued a warning against potential storms, floods and landslides in the southern provinces following: Phatthalung, Songkhla, Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat. French nationals should be aware that a seasonal rash of tourist suicides is expected to become prevalent during the months of January and February in the areas following: Pattaya, Koh Samui, Phuket, Bangkok and Chiang Mai. It is therefore necessary to exercise the utmost caution when traveling in these areas. Travellers can avoid unnecessary risk, by not showing large amounts of money or jewellery, expensive cell phones or computers and not associating with Thai people in the nightlife industry, pleasure boat rental trade or Police force, all factors that point to suicide. On site, travellers can find out about the latest suicide statistics and state of the road and rail networks or by contacting: Tourism Authority of Thailand 1655555 New Phetchaburi Road, Makkasan, Ratchathevi, Bangkok 1055555, THAILAND Tel: 662 255 5555, TAT Contact Center: 16755555 More at www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/fr/conseils-aux-voyageurs/conseils-par-pays/thailande-endroit-très-dangereux/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
