Death of Belgian woman (30) on Koh Tao raises questions
The mother of a Belgian woman (30) who was found on Koh Tao in April knows for sure: my daughter did not commit suicide. The chief of police on the island is also firm: suicide has been confirmed in an autopsy at the Police General Hospital in Bangkok. There are no indications that the young tourist was murdered.
A 21-year-old man in Phuket showed on Facebook Live how he killed his 11-month-old daughter. He then killed himself. The images were not removed by Facebook until 24 hours later.
Foreign man (32) jumps to death at Suvarnabhumi airport

Asian youngsters who drink a lot of energy drinks are more likely to attempt suicide
Thailand is the land of energy drinks. We already knew that these drinks are not very healthy due to the amount of sugar, among other things. Yet they are even more dangerous than you think, because the more young people use energy drinks, the greater their risk of sleep problems, stress, depression and the greater the chance that they will attempt to take their own life.
Suicide in Thailand
A number of times we can read in the media that a Farang has fallen from the balcony with fatal consequences. Before the body is released, the official authorities check whether a possible cause can be found. The search includes alcohol, drugs or medication. Possible conflict, fatal brawl.
Is it murder or suicide? That is the question asked by the police in Pattaya after the discovery of a 56-year-old Englishman who is said to have hanged himself in his house, which was also on fire.
Landed on a tropical island: Suicide or not?
Els reads the sad story of a young woman who commits suicide in Chiang Mai. The coverage raises a lot of questions and makes me think of that night Hook told a mysterious story. Hook is a Frenchman and he led a rather adventurous life before settling down as a bartender at a resort on Koh Phangan 10 years ago.
A 57-year-old German woman was found dead on Saturday morning after jumping from the 24th floor of a luxury apartment complex in Bangkok's Pathumwan district. The woman had recently had an argument with her husband.
With some regularity there are reports that a foreigner has fallen from his balcony in Thailand. Now so often that there is a 'fishy' to these incidents, writes Khaosod in an article with the striking headline: 'The Balcony Did It? Why Thailand's Falling Deaths Raise Eyebrows'.
