Carsten, I and many others here agree 100% with you !
I am an expat living in Thailand for 9yrs, Phuket 4yrs. I work as a bodyguard and tell all my client that travel to Koh Tao to hire private protection. That island is run by some shady characters to say the least and as you can see from this story literally get away with murder..
I lived on the island of koh toa for three months a few years ago, i had my phone stolen by a French woman’s son at the sairee hotel. An incredibly kind Thai woman drove me on her bike to the police station which is exactly what is shown on this documentary, six police officers in tshirts smoking cigarettes outside their 12x10 office building. It goes without saying they couldn’t really help me, nor did they attempt to try. The island definitely isn’t equipped for dealing with casualties or murders.. There were also stories of tourists going to visit the “high” bars (where you can get magic mushroom shakes and marijuana joints) where the “police” would set up checkpoints and bust people for having weed. They would put them in jail for days on end or create a monetary bargain. This is speculated how the mafia make a lot of their money, ripping off any tourists of their farang money. The island is amazing but definitely keep your wits about you..

The island is run by two huge Thai mafia families. Unfortunately these two people insulted the son of one of the top men or his brother in the organisation. The brother fled and filmed on the street cam but it's not shown. They chopped Hannah's head off from above the eyebrows and left her spreadeagled. David was chopped his head with something (supposedly a hoe) and he drowned on the shore.
Its too bad the CC can't even pick up the words the chick is saying - hard to follow storyline 😐

Because of the terrible audio quality, turn on the English caption. It helps a lot. Thank you for the video, it opened my eyes about the dangers of the island, which includes its police brutality, the ridiculous legal systems and human rights violations towards the Burmese immigrants. Sickening. RIP the victims.
The narrator thinks she is reading a bed time story... aaarrgh can't she just speak up with some energy to it? Pass her a Redbull
The people complaining about the sound made me want to complain about the sound it's atrocious
Was that the Mayor? The one that takes no accountability and blames the tourists 100%? Sure maybe some of the tourists might be at fault but making that claim against every visitor is absurdly untrue. Cops dropped the ball from the jump & that mayor is shady asf... My condolences to the families.🙏🏻😔

I have been living in Thailand for half of my life, my last 4 years there even in prison for ridiculous allegations, so besides fluently knowing the language, I know them in and out, also their... "justice system". At that time, I traveled to Ko Tao to investigate on my own, talked to the local people and there living foreigners and got somehow my conclusion. Just after getting to know a civil servant who originally worked on Koh Tao earlier and knew all the big people there, and he "invited" me to help him in his work as a translator, I found out that the very dangerous thing about Thailand is, that the Mafia... IS the leading stage of government officials themselves, he included. He told me everything about the murderer, how they faked the evidence, it's a common thing in Thailand. Prisons are full of people who haven´t done the alleged crime. The best thing is just NOT to travel to Thailand. They're more hypocritic than the Pharisees and true... they have little to no regard to human life. The two poor Burmese guys haven´t done this, but were found guilty till the Supreme court and waiting to be killed, or go crazy in a there ending life in prison... a hell no one wants to be.

Are you Thai? So the civil servant you talked to knows exactly who the murderer is?? Regarding hypocrisy I know that is largely down to Thai/Buddhist mindset and the great importance it attaches to saving face and keeping up pretenses no matter what.

When travelling europe or asia never travel alone, never go in dark corners just don't ! And that guy who was threatened by Thai mafia that's true, you will die in suicidal way just like that actor in kill bill movie who died in Thailand tied up. I don't believe the two young person whom was charged for the crimed are the murderer. The Police knows who did it but all their tongues are short to tell the truth
The judicial systems in all.of SE Asia are political based not based on law. It is all about what supports the political system and the well connected. One just has to be very careful and avoid hidden and seedy places. If you are a nonrich foreigner...good luck.
This is a baffling and confusing case.
The music has spoiled everything
To bad the audio mastering is horrible, barely managed to watch 2 minutes at full volume and headphones... looks like an interesting story, its a pity that the volume of the narrator is tooooo low. I really hope you reupolad this video with a better narrator audio quality, i kinda look forward for a new "wordls most dangerous serial killers" video
That's real funny that Thai authorities tried to blame a mix of chest medication & alcohol on Christina's death. Yes, you should not take any prescription meds & then drink alcohol, but they would not cause a person to do all that. How she died, brutally murdered & then hung up there as if it was suicide. Umm no. 1st off, if she was all messed up & completely annihilated from the combination of way too many drugs & alcohol, her hand coordination w/ her mind would not be able to put together that type of a scenario. The thought process of ""hey let's stage this as a suicide"" drugged up
if people know how many young girls being kidnaped, raped some killed in thailand, they wouldn't call it as "paradise". check Kra island, lot of Vietnamese girls being held, sold there around 1975-85 (boat-people).

They're being charged because of the following evidence 1. CCTV footage shows they were entering to the crime scene that night 2. CCTV footage from 7-Eleven store shows they bought cigarettes (same brand found at the crime scene) 3. DNA found in vagina match both of them 4. Cigarette butts found at the crime scene match both of them 5. David's IPhone was buried at their renting house. Have you ever heard all of these information before? DNA fingerprinting results are automatically saved to computer and if someone try to falsify the results, it would be easily detected. The DNA tests were completed at least 10 days before they were arrested.

After being arrested they confessed and admitted to committing a crime. Why they recant their statement? Because their lawyer told them so as there is evidence linked to rape only, not murder. @36.44 is the wedge used to commit murder while the victims were having sex. Both victims have severe head injuries. Only the victims' DNA were detected from the wedge. Of course two men with one wedge VS people having sex. So these two Burmeses did not have any bleeding. However, all pieces of scientific and circumstantial evidence was enough to support the murder charge against them.

This was a huge publicized case in Thailand at the time and the Thai police have a very good past records of solving these kind of cases quickly and correctly.

Why are so many people interrogating this young man? Is it a public sporting event? If they have such limited resources, they shouldnt have so many tourists there. You can’t let 18- 20 somethings police themselves. They’re certainly are getting $ from the tourists. They owe it to them to have a safe vacation.Didntthey have CCTV on the beach?
In regards to the documentary title, Koh Tao is far from being paradisiacal. I've lived in Thailand for 4 years and have visited Koh Tao many times, and no, it's not paradise, it's simply a cheap island for drinking and diving inexpensively, but neither its waters nor the island itself are paradisiacal. The same goes for Koh Samui or Koh Phangan; if someone wants paradise islands in Thailand, they have to go to the Andaman Sea.
The music is too loud you cant hear the narration
