Papa,
Believe you will find that happened last week. Think the updated story said she was 41 years old. The Phuket area has had more than it's fair share of deaths recently. Hence a few threads here and at the Nation forum.

Police said the tourist had apparently been strangled on Noppharat Beach in Tambon Aonang of Muang district. The beach lies roughly 20 kilometers east of Phuket by boat across Phang-nga Bay. She was found ///// down with the strap of her handbag tied around her neck. She was identified as Edis Jungen, 30.

And another one bites the dust

I live not far from where this womans body was found (no it wasn't me) the motorbike taxi drivers in Ao Nang regularly assault tourists (only when the tourist is drunk and alone, gutless !)and the useless thai police are never anywhere to be seen after 4.00 pm and any tourists that do report assaults are ignored completely. i mentioned to a friend just a couple of months ago that it was only a matter of time until they started killing farang i carry a large extendable baton in my pocket everytime i go out at night here. gotta love the LOS.

Hmm, looks like the South is becoming as good a place to die as Pattaya. I wonder, when that the Phuket governor is going to ask the media politely, not to report to many negative farang news. Ohh, forgot, what is reported in the media is only a small part of the actual news already… :shock:

German, 57, dies in Phuket after severe vomiting

PATONG, PHUKET: A 57-year-old German national died on the way to a Phuket hospital in the early hours of May 12 with symptoms similar to those of two tourists who recently died on Phi Phi Island in Krabi.

The deceased, later identified as Ernst Hermannweid, had been staying at the Sky Inn Hotel in Patong.

Mr Hermannweid had gone for a few drinks at a bar in Patong when he complained of feeling unwell.

He returned to his hotel, where he started vomiting violently.

He was taken by a female companion to Patong Hospital, where he was reported as dead on arrival.

Extensive efforts to resuscitate him failed.

The nurse on duty at the time told the Gazette, “We tried to help him but he had passed away before he arrived at the hospital and the body was already turning blue.”

“We are now waiting for his relatives in Germany to confirm whether they would like us to perform an autopsy,” she added.

A source at the hospital said the course of Mr Hermannweid’s rapid demise was consistent with infection by the Eltor-Okawa cholera bacterium that also causes severe diarrhea. However, the source warned that it was impossible to know for sure without a full autopsy.

Mr Hermanweid was employed as a project manager by the M+W Zander consulting company, working in Malaysia and Singapore.

The company has sent a representative to Phuket and they are still waiting for a report.

The German Embassy is now working to contact Mr Hermannweid's family back in Germany.

Hey Prophet , what,s going on in Phuket is very small potato,s in comparison to what,s going on in the UK , and I do believe you are going back there ain,t you.

Well dragon daddy, seems like we got something in common. I got many friends in Phuket as well. Unfortunately, I can confirm what you wrote before. In Phuket happens much more then what you can read about.

You say that Patong is a dangerous place, well, I would go a bit further and say, that the whole island has become very dangerous. From Bangtao beach all the way down to Rawai beach, are people dying. And I am not talking about natural deads.

I guess if the public would know, how many crimes really happen in Phuket, well, Phuket would be “touristicly” death.

Villager, believe me, England may be bad, but Phuket is hell even if it looks like paradise. You have no idea how easy and often foreigners die on Phuket. Just for statistics, starting at 4,000 to 5,000 Bath, to get rid off a foreigner…
