Nothing in the media yet, RB is quoting from Thai Rath news

Update:

UPDATE 4: Matichon reporting that the suspect in the killing of the Swiss tourist is in fact a 27 year old Thai man who lived nearby. We are still waiting for the police press conference.

It seems there was a bit of a rush in the Thai press to claim he was Burmese. Now they seem to be correcting themselves.

Probably related to the search and inspection of a local workers camp this morning, and the supposition that the arrested suspect had come from there.

Maybe they should have reported "We suppose he's Burmese" then.

I hope the General is going to Phuket to show how he single-handedly led the efforts to "nab" the suspect.

Any Phuket folks familiar with the location?

Wrong side of an empty road. (yes, common here)
Full stop, foot down.
Looking at the camera.

Perhaps there's an intersection ahead of him. Just looks odd.

I'm very familiar with that area, I used to moor my boat in the small bay there. The area is extremely quiet with very few houses and little traffic. The location of him in the photo is probably where I've marked it with a black arrow here:

Sadly, It is still not possible for women to venture out alone safely and I doubt it will ever be. There will always be predators who prey on the weak. Many women that come from relatively safe countries unfortunately fail to see the increased danger in other countries and do not take their personal safety seriously enough. Some unfortunately see the world as they wish it to be rather than the way it is.

I think they just see less danger in physically unimposing men who smile more - not in increased danger compared to their own countries in examples like this. I don't think the danger was increased in this specific example.

Yes, probably just about everyone does this on holiday. 99.9% of the time without such a horrifying result.

The danger was increased just by being there. Thailand is actually a rather dangerous & violent country once you get past the superficial smiles. Higher gun crime rate than the USA, higher road rage and traffic deaths, almost non-existent policing of laws unless easily solved or high profile. The list is endless.

Add into that the apocalypse-type situation covid has brought to the island (which one has to see themselves to really appreciate) and its tinderbox.

Could you expand on this?

Whole areas of the island completely shuttered and dead and the lack of tourism money for locals.

That's what you mean by an 'apocalypse-type situation'?

I can understand Slick's comment. Parts of the West coast tourist areas have a movie set feel about them, along the lines of "I am Legend", eeringly quiet. Deserted streets and boarded up and nearly derelict buildings, and the inhabitants having an almost 'survivors' appearance about them.

**cyrille** · 08-08-2021, 08:22 AM

Post-apocalyptic, then?

See also the last 37 YT videos whatsisname has put up of his walks around Chiang Mai.

Youre reading too much into the statement. I just mean it looks like the apocalypse. Its dead and theres no money and that makes people desperate/crazy/drunk/angry.

**cyrille** · 08-08-2021, 08:27 AM

OK - everywhere's dead.

Gotcha.

It happens also in "relatively safe countries". Not so long ago a big case:

British Police Officer Charged With Murder in Killing of Sarah Everard

(BTW, the finding of the murderer had not taken so fast as this time in Thailand...)
