Papadragon,

Wonder what a "post mortiem," is in Thailand? Check for bullet holes, bleeding from what appear to be exit wounds? Or simply found not to be breathing, must be dead? Final results: Subject died of natural causes.

Either that or "lead poisoning"

We should all understand that one side story tells what it wants and both side story tells half the facts, this why investigation are done to find the other half if possible, this will also leads classification of final findings. Some findings do add value to be published on the news and some no under different circumstances. I do agree investigators are not there to entertain news papers and fighting gossips going around.
Pointing numbers of in Thailand Incident per visitors coming in and out daily, I’m on strong opinion that Thailand is still safer then most of western country.Farang-Land.

I agree. I cannot relax even in my own house here in Australia anymore for fear of the authorities turning up unexpectedly like they did last December. I go outside my house and walk in the street or drive my car, and I am constantly on alert for traps and corrupt police and all kinds of mischief that has lasting repercussions.

It is such a strange feeling to get walking along a street iun my hometown, to notice that I am actually afraid to leave the house, when I am happy to walk down a dark deserted soi in central Bangkok in the middle of the night and know that there is nobody going to give me any trouble. I can relax in Bangkok, but they don't call this The Fatal Shore for nothing.

"The number of deaths of British nationals' in Pattaya is hard to ascertain – though some sources claim that it is up to four every week, neither the FCO nor the Thai authorities have any data they are prepared to release. However, what can be speculated with some confidence is that of the 226 average annual deaths of British citizens in Thailand recorded by the FCO, a large percentage are in Pattaya. (The FCO refuse to list causes of deaths, so we must also speculate as to the reasons for this morbid hotspot. Anecdotal evidence suggests straightforward causes of death for some, such as road accidents and health problems; then there are the suspicious-sounding "suicides" – jumping from balconies seems to be a favoured method.)"

Other causes: Out on a piss all night and back on my motorcy to soon and become a bug on the front bumper of the local concrete mix truck. Death by laying face down in the sand (suffocation) sometime drowning. Choking to death in your hotel room for unknown reasons, but mysterious circumstances to be advised at some point in the next century. Out and out murder and occasional suicide or drug overdose. Accounting for the odd few of natural causes most are simply Ferangs who have lost their way in the game played here. Ma Wa....

Sometimes now I think back and wonder if I might have been better off to have lost the game.

Does any Brit know of any Brit who has a good word to say about the Brit embassy in Bangkok or its various honorary Consuls?

I had to go to the Brit Embassy in BKK once and had no problems!
