| Are you aware of the deaths in Thailand? Several tourists died in the same hotel in Chiang Mai, Thailand. If that was not enough more recently two more tourists died under suspicious circumstances including severe vomiting etc. |

You're referring to the two sisters from Canada in their hotel room; also some months before but same location, another young woman where her boyfriend barely survived.
That CM hotel has finally been torn down because of its bad karma. |

Although it has been shamelessly hushed up to protect the inflow of tourist money, it seems fairly clear from independant investigative reports that the people in Chiang Mai died because the hotel hired an exterminating service that foolishly used an inappropriate insecticide, unapproved for human use, to exterminate bedbugs at the hotel.
Surprisingly it was was not a cheap hotel. It was a mid-range hotel. Sad to think you could rent a room and be dead the next day. Ignorance on the danger of insecticide and other chemicals is widespread.
My guess is that this case could be the same thing. |

| Wow. Such a tragic waste of life. Very sad. This kind of thing is why I am getting tired of cheap vacations in third world countries. Hygiene and safety is clearly not something you can take for granted. |

The older you get, it seems to be that way with many people. I know a lot of my university co-workers who used to always head off to Thailand once summer / winter vacation arrived. Now, not many do. A lot either go back to the mainland U.S. or, specifically, Hawaii to spend their vacations.
Also, more recently - like last month or so - didn't 2 American or Canadians sisters die in a hotel in Phuket? sorry, just going off of memory from what I quickly read int he news. How did they die? Something doesn't add up.
And I wouldn't expect much from Thai police or government. The bottom line is tourist dollars - not to try and scare tourists away! Good luck in finding the truth on that. |

| 500-600 thousand enter Vietnam every MONTH, 19 MILLION visited Thailand last year. Unless there's an epidemic I'm not aware of those places seem pretty, damn safe. |
