What a frightfully clever thing to say. As if to prove my point, you have provided yet another example of "shooting the messenger."

Is it not extraordinary that people with a financial interest to abstain from mentioning dangers on Koh Tao, do in fact abstain? My main agenda ScubaWithTurk, is to make people aware of dangers on Koh Tao. I am fully aware that many people, both Thai and Westerners are keen to cover-up serious...

Here is a promotional video about Koh Tao which includes references to diving & boating fatalities as well as violent crime against tourists: Plus an article about the HONEST KOH TAO TOURISM VIDEO presented by Sydney actress, Natasha Dai (with modest satire): Miss Congeniality as a New Face...

Thank you Zef and everyone else who has written a few lines in my defence. Unfortunately, one cannot publicly say anything unpleasant about Koh Tao without becoming a target for a bunch of apologists many of whom write comments unfettered by any concerns about accuracy or even correct spelling...

Alice Davies from the UK suffered a severe leg injury on Koh Tao. British diver badly hurt by propellor It is true that accidents occur elsewhere around Thailand and around the world. However, what makes Koh Tao special is the lengths people go to in order to cover-up the tragedies. When...

As if to prove my point that the standard operating procedure on Koh Tao is to BLAME THE VICTIM & SHOOT THE MESSENGER, a few posters in recent days have criticised me for sharing information about the deaths of: Shelly Bot (50, Canada) struck by taxi boat; & Silje Mathisen (22, Norway) struck &...

“AleG” aka “Alejandro Garcia” aka “sofocletus” regularly criticises my comments elsewhere as he is now doing here. Did you know that the good folks on Koh Tao launched a petition calling on the Samui Times to be sued for reporting on tourist deaths there? The standard operating procedure is...

The thumbnail for this video has an image of the Sairee Beach Bookmaker on Koh Tao displaying some odds that should be self explanatory.

Here is a music video “Death Island of the Setting Sun” which is a cover of HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN: And here is a video about the non-reporting of the tragic death of Rocio Gomez following her scuba lesson with Pura Vida Diving on Koh Tao Thailand (Tailandia): Please note that it was a...

Here is a brief video with English audio and Spanish text about the non-reporting of the tragic death of Rocio Gomez following her diving lesson on Koh Tao Thailand with Pura Vida Diving (Tailandia)

Rocio Gomez actually took her fatal dive lesson on 17 DECEMBER 2018 and died 4 days later. It seeems the tragedy did not start being reported in Argentina until about 7 JANUARY 2019. There are few reports in English and no reporting from mainstream media within Thailand yet. (Samui Times is now...

Here is a music video for you all. It is called “Death Island of the Setting Sun” and is a cover of HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. I listed 15 foreigners who died there from August 2012 but while it was being made, Rocio Gomez had her fatal dive there. The number is now 16.

Here is a link to the article in the Maritime Herald of 10 January 2019 that I mentioned above: An Argentine Tourist Died in Thailand on a Diving Excursion | Maritime Herald

A disturbing aspect of this tragedy is the conspicuous lack of news reporting from the mainstream media within Thailand. The Samui Times (which is no longer based within the Kingdom) posted this article in English on 14 January 2019: Koh Tao, AKA Death Island strikes again with yet another...

Hi Jay I hope that people reading your contribution take note of the good manners you displayed. I am new here and have had the misfortune of being on the receiving end of some really bad manners mixed with unhealthy and unhelpful displays of ego. In contrast Jay, you have been a breath of...

Dear Cowfish Do you still want the moderators to delete this thread? Your expression of sympathy for the family of the deceased is looking frightfully shallow sir.

Dear Cowfish Is that the best apology you can come up with? I note your reluctance to answer my questions or provide anything constructive to the conversation. I also note your concern for the reputation of an individual, a dive shop and a diving industry. I don’t suppose you noticed the...
