Most likely it will be ruled a suicide . . .

Hmmmm. Why what a lucky guess on my part.

A guy wants to kill himself. So he goes to Koh Larn, dons a wet suit and diving fins, swims out to some sort of mooring, ties himself to it, and slashes his own throat.

No suicide note. No boat. No report of a knife or anything else sharp enough to slice his own throat.

Oh well, if you're going to commit suicide, you might as well do it with a little finesse and imagination . . .

Undaunted, thanks for the link to "the Thailand Life" web site. The writer's take on why he thinks farangs end up taking their life in the LOS has merit. And although it offers a sound explanation behind some of these suicides, I've read far too many accounts of flying farangs plunging to their death in Pattaya to believe that it explains them all.

Every time I read of yet another death attributed to suicide, I ask myself "who stands to benefit from the death?"

The answer is often the same.

While many probably are suicides, I too find it hard to believe that with others something more sinister is not what really took place.

And here's the latest one - just yesterday morning:
