My 60-something 4th wife (of 5) has done 6 or 7 solo bicycle tours all over Cambodia. 'Go anywhere, long honey blonde hair streaming.
and 1 in Thailand - never ever again she reckons.
Too scary, and she's as tough as tigers nuts.
Vacations in Syria too, pre current troubles, she feels safe there but not in Thailand.

Pol Maj Gen Nanthadet Yoinuan, deputy chief of Provincial Police Region 8, told a press conference at the Phuket provincial police head office on Sunday that the man, a Phuket native, had confessed to killing and robbing the 57-year-old visitor. Scratches were found on his body.

Police also had witnesses to substantiate the charges, he added.

The suspect was unemployed and wanted the victim's money to buy illicit drugs and other items, according to Pol Maj Gen Nanthadet.

Investigators tracked him using CCTV footage that captured him riding a motorcycle to the waterfall 12 minutes before the victim arrived on foot. Footage also showed him leaving the location three hours later.

In a video call to the press conference from Vichit police station, where he was detained, Mr Teewarat said he went to the waterfall to pick wild orchids which he would then sell. Descending from the top tier of the waterfall empty-handed, he saw the tourist swimming.

When he reached the pool beneath the waterfall, he said, she was sitting by the bank with a black backpack by her side. He tried to search the backpack, and when she resisted he strangled her. He found 300 baht in the backpack.

Mr Teerawat said he covered the body with a black sheet, hid her backpack and threw her sneakers into the forest before leaving the scene.
