Re: Death Island- Koh Tao
Royal Thai Police Major General Pornchai Suthirakhun was head of the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Bangkok , which concocted the bogus DNA evidence to convict Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo of the 2014 Koh Tao murders.
Similar scientific fraud by Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos earned her a prison sentence of over 11 years.

Re: Death Island- Koh Tao
Will Thailand’s King Rama X bestow full royal pardons upon Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo this December?
Re: Death Island- Koh Tao
Was just looking into this, i was actually considering heading over to death island for a bit of curiosity tourism of course i wont stay too long, probably just jump over to another island to avoid any dangers.
Re: Death Island- Koh Tao
Looks like theres been quite a few boating/snorkleing/scuba/swim accidents over on death island, with two people within the past 10 yrs run over by another boat while snorkeling, when i visit ill make sure to reserve snorkeling for another island (yes i have a snorkel and a packraft inside my luggage). theres been some murders and suicides as well as moto accidents, of course over here in cambo town, its drug ODs, and also moto accidents that seem to affect the expat and traveler community.

There may or may not be a (serial ?) killer running free there but the other things you mention, I wouldn't change my plans over.Matty9999 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 05, 2022 6:37 pmLooks like theres been quite a few boating/snorkleing/scuba/swim accidents over on death island, with two people within the past 10 yrs run over by another boat while snorkeling, when i visit ill make sure to reserve snorkeling for another island (yes i have a snorkel and a packraft inside my luggage). theres been some murders and suicides as well as moto accidents, of course over here in cambo town, its drug ODs, and also moto accidents that seem to affect the expat and traveler community.
Maybe not recently, but pre covid there were numerous ferries taking hundreds of tourists a day to Koh Tao. When you have that many people all diving, snorkeling, riding motos - often for the first time ever and probably drunk a lot of the time - you're going to have some accidents. I don't think the risk of snorkeling is any greater on KT than anywhere else though.
I'd stick with Koh Tao, there's some great snorkeling and diving there.

Ian sensationalizes the island, he has a personal agenda .

Re: Death Island- Koh Tao
Why? First, the dangers there are not the type you can see or see coming at you, and secondly, you would be supporting the bastards that run that place by spending money there.
" of course i wont stay too long" So we all hope, watch your back.
