One Thai guy ran in there and just started attacking the man, then about 20 others followed and beat the absolute hell out of him, to the point where he was lifeless and face down in the water. These Thai people came and drove a pick-up truck on to the beach, and then they just threw him into the back of it and drove off.

“Mainly I experienced Thai people to be very nice, but on the islands with these hordes of Westerners coming over with no interest in culture at all, things can get pretty violent.”
May easily have been this scenario, too.
Not really. If Ko Tao people were so mortified by the sight of a couple having sex, they would be unlikely to feel obligated to bugger them before killing them. It would be somewhat hypocritical.
