- I interview Chai from Holland who tells a story about a tragic death that he witnessed while travelling through Thailand and Laos. The story takes place in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. Chai describes how he found a dead body in a hostel late one night and what happened after when the police arrived.

Sounds to me like the poor guy suffered a massive hemorrhage in his stomach or elewhere in his GI system. Black vomit would usually indicate internal (GI) bleeding. The blood gets oxidized in there and turns black. So it might not have been drugs at all... he might have had ongoing GI problems.
Yes ,but 30 to 40 cops sounds abit ominous ,i live in the golden triangle.
Giving mouth-to-mouth to an obviously dead stranger who had been violently puking a mysterious black substance? No thank you.
Coward!
It’s an all-too-common backpacker tale: you’re staying in some rundown hostel, trying to mind your own business-then Daffy Duck dies in the room next door. Tell Chai to come to Scruffy’s tonight and I’ll buy him a pint!
We were both out of town Roy
10k ! You deserve it 🍀 such a great format compared to interesting other Thai based channels but most of them always make very similar content in my opinion. And your style and the people you find make it great content. All the best 🙏
Thanks Dario I appreciate that mate🙏
Great comment here. Pete deals with the humanity of the adventure as opposed to the flashing lights and tasty food. It’s all part of the complexity of the experience there. Pete fills this space in a respectful manner without any additional drama as life provides it’s own drama.
Way to go on the 10k subs. No one deserves it more, you have worked hard to come up with a unique format for your channel.
Thank you so much 😃
Rainy season coming early this year to Bangkok. Congrats on the 10K Pete! I have seen a few fatalities in Thailand, mostly from motorcycle accidents. Not a pretty sight. Always wear a helmet. It amazing what can happen to a body even in slow speed crash. I am glad to be alive, I did some stupid things in my youth. Great video mate!
You’re 100% right. Thanks for the reality check. I’ve just rented a scooter while i’m on Samui
I enjoy your videos. Great job . Just a bit of help. Phil and I or my mate and I.
@@ThairishTimes Near Mae Nam in the exact same spot saw three motorcycle accidents in two days. Three girls hurt on the same bike foreigners, two women dead two different bikes, both foreigners. I swear that island is a death trap. Have not been there since 2009 and the only reason I was there to see family. Just seen too much weird shite had enough NEVER felt safe on any of those islands. DON,T BECOME JUST ANOTHER DEAD FOREIGNER!
We've all done stupid things when we were younger 🙂.
@@BryansMusings we know you have Bryan. Just kidding you're an angel
First at all! Obviously congratulations on your 10K! You nailed it!
Nothing like this on my channel Pete but, it feels (in a weird way) good to have talked about it.
It may have sounded that all the backpackers were doing opium back then? Most of the backpackers were just drinking or smoking (not opium). I consider myself a backpacker so I definitely don’t wanna give us a bad reputation 🤗 thanks again 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing, quite riveting indeed. Btw 10 years ago...was that your first trip(s) to Thailand/Laos?
@@NoelSPinMY cheers mate. Yes it was. I basically came down from Australia for a year, spent 3month in Malaysia. Want to the south of Thailand and flew to Vientiane in 2011. 🙏🏼
I did opium in Bangkok for a month. 20 years ago. Most of the teachers I worked with smoked weed, drank alcohol and did pharmaceuticals. I've seen lots of death in Thailand but most from bike crashes. I couldn't count how many, there were that much. People think because they only drink they obtain the moral high ground over other people's choices.
Thanks for telling your story Chai. It was a pleasure
Congrats on the 10K Pete! 🥳👍🏼 Well deserved! 👏🏼🍻
What a story Chai has and yes, life is full of experiences...not just good vibes (but those are still needed as well.) 😌
My cousin died similarity puking a black substance before she passed (she was hooked/sick on something). Drugs have such a devastating toll on not only the user but those around them. 😪
You have great interviews Pete. You are wise and fearless. I like that! Keeps me coming back. 😊😎
Glad you likes the story Eileen. It is a serious topic for sure. I thought Chai told it very well. Wise and fearless wow thanks Eileen ☺️☺️☺️
Congrats on 10k Pete, hope for many more! Harsh story from Chai, glad it never put him off travelling!
Thanks Joe, it was a tough one for sure
10 years later and Chai still has a perfect memory reliving it. Definitely ptsd, which is totally understandable...sad story and I feel bad for Chai because this still has a major effect on him. You can certainly tell Chai is a compassionate, good person who did the best he could do under the circumstances....I feel for him.
Yes, Chai is a good soul and a sound man
Thank you Keith ❤️ they’re very kind words 🙏🏼
Although reliving bad memories can be uncomfortable, (I believe) if you can remember things well you often have less chance of having ptsd and the prolonged negative impact
I remember things from 50 years ago without trauma. Some people have good recall naturally,
Congrats Pete and Nune! 10k is a great achievement fair play. Roll on 20k 🙌
Thanks mate. Delighted. Thanks for all the support 🙏🙏🙏
You interview good ,you ask the right questions 👍
I appreciate that
This man is the Larry King of Thailand. Great interviews.
Haha thanks mate, what a compliment
That snore he descibes at the start is an interesting detail. Agonal Breathing is the medical term for the gasping that people do when they're struggling to breathe because of cardiac arrest etc.
It is very distictive, if you have heard it before, and was probably the time he may have been saved. I can understand how a young, non medical person can just pass it off as something weird. Sadly before my father passed away from cancer he was snoring in a similar way.
I have been in a situation that is quite similar, except from the important fact that I was in my own country when it happened.
I don't know what specific details made it traumatic for Chai, but in my case it was the fact that I heard the person screaming very strangely just before dying, and only realising this the next day after the dead body was found by someone else. Because I didn't knew the person so well, I also decided to stay out of the situation as much as possible. At the other hand I have been blaming myself in the first weeks after it happened, because I basically didn't do anaything to safe this persons life, but talking to other persons made me realise there was little I could do to prevent it from happening. I was just involved in this situation by chance and knowing this really helped me overcoming my little trauma.
I hope speaking about it with you Pete may helps Chai dealing with this little trauma. Even though it is 8 years ago now in my case, I do still remember this day very well and this story of Chai made me think of it again.
One thing I know from my own experience for sure and that is that this is something you really don't want to get involved with in any way, especially in a foreign country when there is possibly also drugs involved.
What a sad story must have been such a shock to Chai. Pete keep up the content so interesting.
Pete & Chai well done.
Congratulations on your milestone 🥳☘️
Thanks Mary, we’re delighted to hit 10k and thanks for watching 🇮🇪🙏🇹🇭
Wel done on reaching 10k. Your hard work is paying off.
Thanks very much Paul🙏
Congrats on the 10k! Now... Let's get Chai to 10k also!
There was an Irish guy, Noel from Dublin (RIP) who got run over by a taxi a couple of months ago In Bangkok. Lovely guy he was
Jeez RIP poor fella
Well congratulations! well deserved, interesting and informative videos, love the funny ones too.
Thanks Eleanor, yeah we need to do another funny one
You could tell chai is still shook up about what happened, sounds to me like the young man who died had a lot of drugs ingested and they have burst causing massive trauma,don't go anywhere near drugs there's many innocent people been locked up just because happened to be around them.well done on the 10k Pete you deserve it
That’s right Gary, don’t mess with drugs in SE Asia that’s for sure
Congrats on reaching 10K subscribers!! Well deserved indeed.

Thanks mate, good night from Thailand 😉
Congratulations on the 10K! Your interviews are very interesting and thought provoking. Can you interview Forest Lee (another guy I listen to). I got a feeling you guys would make great content together.

Congratulations for hitting 10K!
Thanks Nok ☺️☺️☺️
I met a couple of older guys in Chiang Mai who were opium den fiends. One a vet who’d gone awol - interesting guy he was a supposedly senators son who enlisted for Vietnam and then just dropped out. He told me he was now getting a vet pension because Obama had decided all vets deserved it … he was using that to pay to get high. His mate was a author but now a ghost writer making some good coin if he was able to motivate himself in the morning to write a few words. The older guy I remember told me he had a daughter who would visit him yearly and he would do a dry out and a cycle of roofs so that he looked good for her. What a life people lead.
Jeez that is tragic 😬😬😬
Well done Chai for telling his story. Clearly still haunting him 10 yrs on and maybe unnecessarily feeling a little guilty deep inside that he couldn’t have done more. See Chai also on Gary’s (The Roaming Cook) channel and seems a top bloke so happily subscribe and wish him all the best.
Congrats to you Pete (and Mrs Pete as you are a team) for the 10K. Onward and upwards.
Thanks mate we are delighted to hit 10k. It’s been a great journey so far
Thanks Keef! 🙏🏼
Congrats on the 10k !

Congrats on 10k buddy! It'll snowball after that, you'll hit 25k before you know it! :D
Cheers Vigorous Steve love the name btw
Congratulations on 10k Pete.
Thanks very much Scott
It's quite the story. Quite traumatic for you. Glad you've spoken out about it. Talking about something usually does help.
Thanks my man. Yeah, maybe I should talk about it more 😅 hope to catch up again soon 😊
Thanks for watching Bryan
@@Chai_Travel of course!
Congrats 10k
Thanks Ron 🙏🙏🙏😂
well done on the 10k Pete
Thanks very much Mark. What a journey!!
Cool video bro
Thanks mate 🙏
Oohemmm ilove bangkok ❤️ it is tragic story 😭
He’s still dealing with the trauma. We don’t travel to be traumatized but to be amazed. I can’t help thinking that he might still be thinking, ‘That could’ve been me.’ And, ‘How devastating for my family to get that call about my passing.’ Travel is also…but it’s heightened because of the adventure, novelty, and the calculated risks we take. As motorcyclist, this story reminded me of some close calls…all self-induced by a moment of overconfidence or from being exhausted and riding (those two don’t mix well). Thank you Pete and Chai. Stay safe!!
Great chat mate, congrats on the 10k well deserved. Sounds like an awful way to go, could he have had a reaction on some kind of jungle herb concoction he bought in a market? My dad's mate almost died from something like that in the 1970s in that very town. Couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was, designed space you out into a trip. Dark green vomit can come up with stuff like that, mixed with blood it would look black.....
Thanks Pat, yeah it could easily be. There’s a lot of that stuff going on there
Pad , may be you could teach him some more oxford english pronunciation , please ?
Went down a serious road on this one. Very compelling story.
Yes Charlie, it was super serious
Great interview Pete. When you get more subs please don’t change your style and end up like the other generic boring youtubers in Thailand! Keep doing your thing, it’s really interesting. Cheers
I agree 100 %! I have stopped viewing many of the fluff Thailand Vloggers.
Thanks for the encouragement. We’ll be keeping the style the same for sure
Inspiring
Thanks Judy
Whats the story pete well done on hitting 10k only way is up .
Thanks David, i’m delighted to hit 10k. Happy days
I was curious why Chai had darker features now I understand. Good guy good heart he means well. Sorry, he had to deal with this he was smart making the correct decisions asking his friend to stay behind, and trying to help. The Full Moon Party also attracts a lot of these types and nothing but trouble after all these years they refuse to shut it down even after all the deaths. Yet the idiot foreigners can care less about the dangers and still knowingly go there. Places like that scare the hell out of me that entire island chain just makes my skin crawl. I have witnessed a few deaths myself also younger from just being careless. Likely was never been reported by the news either. Southeast Asia is a beautiful mysterious place and it has no issues chewing you up and spitting you out ruining your life, and or killing you very easily. Just a warning to others who believe this is paradise on Earth it ain,t. Don,t come here with your head in the clouds or in a darker place up your XXXXXX.
Your last 2 sentences are spot on👍🏼👍🏼
not a good memory for Chai. I like his films and he is always happy. Maybe first time i ever seen him serious. Thanks Chai, you tried to help him.
Yes we saw a different side to Chai in this one and it was a good story
Congratulations from fellow Irish man 😁👍up the dubs 🤣🤣
Thank you Derek 🇮🇪🇹🇭👍🏼 up the Dubs
I am not a doctor but the black vomit may be blood. The victim ingested some kind of poison or he may have had some underlying condition that got triggered by something.
When in Thailand I have heard of tourists dieing in their rooms after the room has been sprayed with insecticide, mainly for bedbugs but the symptoms were different. Fortunately the victim had a traveling partner who dealt with everything. If someone traveled solo, I can't imagine of how the situation would be dealt with otherwise...maybe through the Embassy.
Yes I think there was a big case about this nearly 10years ago
@@ThairishTimes yes I was in Chiang Mai when that happened. It also happened on Phi Phi Island. There were so many deaths in Chiang Mai that I think the hotel was eventually demolished.
Well done and well deserved
Thanks🙏
Congratulations !
Thanks very much Douglas
Black water fever from malaria makes your puke black. I almost died from cerebral malaria and this sounds familiar.
10k 🎊🥳🥳🎉🎈🎉🥳🎉
☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🇹🇭
Living in or traveling in a foreign country ( especially where the “rules” are different) sometimes means you have to adjust your “value system “. A couple times in Thailand I have seen men ( Thai & one time a farang) arguing with his “date” and start hitting her. My instinct is to jump in and protect the lady but I never know if the guy has a knife or a group of buddies for reinforcement. Definitely a disturbing situation.
I’ve heard some horror stories where people have been seriously hurt after stepping in to help
Totally agree about adjusting your values in another country. I was witness to a Khmer guy beating his partner near a cafe and luckily held back by an expat before I stepped in to help. The assailant pulled a knife but she had just got away, the locals just turned their backs or walked away, never forgot that. Take care and congrats on 100k Pete and cheers to you Chai, enjoy your work.
I saw a farang slapping the heck out of a thai girl in front of 100 people.
Nobody did anything. Including me.
Really wow I thought 💭 people would do something. Like for example, if I was beating up a sexy young skinny Thai girl, I thought the locals would all on the street would jump me. So they do nothing? 😱
@CS77 Smith
I not getting involved.
The guy I saw slapping the heck out a tiny girl in front of spicy club more than 10 years ago had an entourage.
He was Asian but they were speaking Hungarian I think.
I don't want to find out what they do for a living. Probably mafia.
Nice guy so sensitive
He's right, SE Asia is not the place to do drugs.
10000 subs 🏆🥇
We got there Peter. Delighted
@@ThairishTimes Good on ya, well deserved👏👏👏🍾🥂
Hello friend 😊
I lived I'm Phuket for years
.I cam give you the real underground stories about drugs in Thailand....stay away from drugs in Thailand people.
Addiction followed you everywhere you go because you take you everywhere.
Heroin addiction will always be prevalent in Thailand unfortunately.
Well done Pete #10000
Thanks Paul
Sounds like poisonous mushrooms
I know you guys know what we mean but log in code did not work . It was a cycle with no result. Any way taking my 82 year old mum out for dinner in a thai restaurant tonight.
Poor fella tat have to see all tat I won't shit myself if I see a dead body 😥😥
🤟
It reminds me something.. Welcome to the dark side of Thailand😏
Laos is no place to hang loose in.
If it was drugs then most likely heroin - either a bad batch or simple overdose. The main drug in Vientiane/Laos is Yaba but I think it's more popular with locals rather than westerners. Also it rarely leads to deaths.
Black vomit know as coffee grounds is an indicator of internal bleeding
I agree I have a bike in Thailand its my baby but still I look out and know the thai rule
Just be careful Ian please
@@ThairishTimes Dont worry all good here and my mother had an awesome night.
2:20
How about the Witchcraft and Sorcery in Thailand $ Southeast Asia.
10K mate
We made it Luke
Dark color. Blood.
Does Peter ever smile?
Once when I was 7
Alot of fake alcohol too. . You should do story on Koh tao . Just don't go there
Any of the island group are all trouble both foreigners and Thais there are very questionable. I knew an American there who killed his young daughter. Nothing good will come out of visiting those islands. Go at your own risk, But hey knock yourself out don,t listen to me.
All death cases happening on Koh Tao can be explained. Don't believe in made-up stories that come later 5-10 years after the incident.
More great content mate. Wondering if you follow a channel called, Soft White Underbelly?
I do. It’s fantastic. That guy finds some great characters
@@ThairishTimes yeah I thought you would definitely like it
Sounds like a drug overdose first clue heavy snoring then black vomiting and body funny colour probably wrong but typically this is a sign of opioid overdose 🙏☮️ rest in peace 🌹
Yeah that’s what I thought too RIP
Chai is incoherent
