How can they automatically say it's murder suicide?? Anyone could have done this...
Yeahhhhhh !
R you slow ?
Bc they were alone
Because Thai police are corrupt
Really fucyouforever
Because a person in housekeeping says they wanted to brew the tea themselves? On the word of another? That's it? You've got to be kidding me.

Why would the hk kill them
What if the staff in that hotel is a serial killer.
You cant possibly conclude that in 24hrs lmao.... this is very fishy.
they're still investigating. its still in thai news and newer evidence everyday.
@@2muchfun190 I don't think they're investigating anything. They came to the conclusion and closed the case. Tourism money will continue to flow in.
@@same5952 oh yeah? did you watch thai news? or you just blindly believe short clips that didnt explain anything like this one?

Don’t go ther bae. Da mess 😂

Not sure if anyone here is familar with Thailand process but when they claim to solve the case in less than 24 hours. This just tells you they want to sweep this under the rug and move on. Not saying they are covering something up but it's so unlike for them to come up with a motive this quick and getting all the evidence they need that this was a murder suicide due to financial reasons.
Obviously they know something or someone is linked.
Or this could be such and embarrassment that's why they try to quickly push it under the carpet.
Yes, they were quite efficient in solving this mysterious six death so quickly and also trying to convince everyone that this was an isolated case. Normally crime cases took months and even years to totally investigated with much evidences, eye-witnesses' accounts, documentations, interviews, etc.
@@emilyl1094 that alone is already saying something, perhaps this is far more common then we thought? So they solving it so fast is because they're quite sick of it 1 case to many add it to the pile of similar cases.
@@novavortex7763 derrrrrrrrr
Nowadays, It has CCTV camera . It obviously showed that the room is locked from inside.

in Bangkok there are sooo many camera evidence. Also the Vietnamese tour guide who ran away got arrested just now and confessed he helped with buying the poison.
Ofc they have a lot of evidence cctv and witness before they finalized and close the case. Annoying when random ppl say suspicious2x

in the middle of it all...he was promoting thailand as a safe tourist destination....Wow !
Priorities 😅
All Targets Down. Great Work, 47! Now head towards an exit.
First, a hotel staff came in, and came out, and then guests came in, and they all never come out. There are no cameras inside the room.
Hotel cannot install cameras. It would violate the privacy.
One of the dead was in the room when the hotel staff went in, she was there before the other five showed up.

If they do not install them, malicious others often will/do...sad but true :/

priority: protect the tourism
Lived in Thailand, owned business in Chiang Mai, know the Thai curropted culture. The reported investment amount, roughly $200,000, devided over a " number" of investors is not enough to kill over, unless the intension was to eliminate footprint. Thai PM intent to brush this issue under the carpet, before any serious investigation is amateroush and points to a bigger picture. Bye Thailand.
What does has your business to do with the corruption in Thailand?
How is the Thai pm involved?
@@Trueye-sl2mr PM showed up there and is pushing police to close the case ASAP to protect tourism money. That's his only involvement. If you watched the entire video, you've noticed the police chief making the statement regarding tourism. His only concern now should be to honestly solve the case and not talk about tourism.
@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 It means he knows more about life in Thailand than someone who just comes in for a week to enjoy the sunshine.
I had a thai girlfriend . Her 8 year old sister was being raped by a teacher in the class room after school . My girlfriend ,7 at the time , stabbed him with a pair of scissors and the teacher died . She was Never allowed to attend school after that .
She was schooled at home by her brothers and sisters . Her parents were illiterate.
There is no justice for the poor in Thailand.
This will make a good detective Conan manga story
Got solved the case within no time. Bangkok investigators must be the best in the world!
This is really sad and mysterious at the same time.
The foreign guest with the least amount of luggage or baggage could be the culprit. They already planned plot before poisoning.
Because of this unprofessional and hasty manner to close investigation so as not to affect tourism?? Man. I lost faith in Thailand ! Won't go there anymore !😤

How long do tox screenings take?
Isn’t it kind of fast to come to that conclusion? What other evidence has been provided to us about the reason?
I am a Vietnamese so I knew that by the last name 5 of them are Vietnamese and one last name, “Chong”, is Chinese-Vietnamese.
I am black and I knew by the last name that they were Thai & Chinese; it's called liking K pop and knowing the difference between Asian cultures and languages. Like Lisa from BlackPink is Thai and Hanni, my favorite, from New Jeans is Vietnamese. I also knew that the name Nguyen is Vietnamese and pronounced like "win, wind or when.
So what is your point???
I'm not Vietnamese, Chinese or Thai but I "know" that Chong doesn't sound like Vietnamese 😅

How vile...tragic.😢😤

Shocking incident in Bangkok

Ms Sherine Chong, the woman with US citizenship who also died(suicide) one of 6 dead she orderd tea, Hotel stuff ask if she need hotel stuff prepare tea for her but she said she will mix tea by herself. This is her room booking but other 5 dead come to her room for tea and dinner.

Lesson learnt: do not eat with outsider or outside. Well, I was taught this lesson in home when I as very young.

Is it normal for the Thai PM to visit a crime scene?
Not at all. He is very much in favour of tourism in his country and want to make it mecca of tourism. He is relying heavily on tourism revenue for his country.
Big case, affecting tourism
@@bulls85 Big case.
He wants a scene in everything. We call him "Mister Travel" Because he travels everywhere except the parliament building. lol
@@forretresssI guess that is not always a bad thing. If I would be a minister I would like to visit the normal people and talk about their problems and how we can solve them. In my mind it's not good if politicians are living in their own world and don't know much about the people itself
Too premature to have an investigation concluded, and the proposed motive for mass suicide is extremely vague. There has to be more to this, way more
This is Thailand 🇹🇭 business and they are investigating the incident . Need fair answers
Like Wayan Mirna and Jessica Kumala Wongso case in Indonesia
A deja vu for sure

Man idk about the reasons..

That dude is laughing and having the time of his life!
These 6 Vietnamese tourists are only 6 out of many millions of tourists traveling in Thailand. So, how can in less than 24 hours, Thai police had almost accurate information about this group of Vietnamese tourists having debt to each other, thereby concluding that the 6 Vietnamese people died due to personal conflicts and no other reason. How did the Thai police get this information and who provided this information to the Thai police?
The incident that the check out time has passed and the guest had not yet checked out, but it took 24 hours for the room to be check, and the incident where the hotel staff told Thai police that Mrs. Chong seemed uneasy when the hotel staff wanted to help her make tea are unreasonable. I used to work as an employee at a hotel, so I know that if it's past time and the guest still hasn't checked out, the receptionist will call to the room to remind the guest. If no one answers, the receptionist will ask the porter or hotel staff to come to check the room. If the Porter or hotel staff goes up and cannot open the door because the door is hooked from the inside, the Manager will tell the maintenance to break the door to get in because he's afraid that the guest has had a stroke inside. So, why did it take 24 hours for the hotel staff to check the room? As for tea and coffee, when a guest requests to bring tea and coffee to the room, the hotel staff is only responsible for bringing its to the room. If the guest does not want the hotel staff to prepare its, it is normal, because the taste in drinking tea and coffee of each person is different, so why did the hotel staff deliberately testify to the police that Mrs. Chong felt insecure when the hotel staff asked her that to help her make tea (this is like intentionally putting all attention on Mrs. Chong).
Another unusual thing is with cups of tea, because each person has different preferences and tastes, some people like to drink tea or coffee, but there are also people who like to drink coke or just water. It is very difficult to find group of 6 people with the preferences for drinking tea are the same, and relatives of Dinh Tran Phu said that he did not like to drink tea and coffee, he only drinks water. But, all 6 cups of tea have been consumed. And usually, when drinking tea, there will be someone who drinks it first and someone who drinks it later, because some people can drink hot tea but some people have to wait for it to cool a bit before drinking it. So, if the person who drank it first had an unusual feeling, why should the person who hasn't drunk it drink the entire cup of tea?
Within 24 hours, Thai police concluded that Mrs. Chong was the murderer who poisoned five other people and then committed suicide because she owed more than $200,000 to the couple among them (although Thai police have no evidence to prove that Mrs. Chong was in possession of cyanide). But, the police later said that in Mrs. Chong's bag there were couple sets of property documents. As far as I know, a property in US must cost from six or seven hundred thousand to more than 1 million dollars. If just sell or mortgaged a property, Mrs. Chong would have already paid the debt. So, why did she have to kill someone and then commit suicide, and then she lose everything and lose her life?
In order to save face for the country of Thailand and the Thailand's tourism industry, it is possible that the Thai police will still maintain the conclusion that this is a case due to a personal conflict and no other reason. Those who have died are the end, just pitying the relatives of those who have passed away there probably won't be a clear conclusion.
Spot on that's exactly what I was thinking it's very impossible to make 6 people drink anything at the same time ,me and my wife have big diffrance in drinking tea I can drink hot but she drinks mild gap is abt 7 to 8 mins ,so between us 2 people only there is so much difference so image the difference between 5 people and making them drink it all at the same time also so not sound realistic
Some reports are saying it was slow poison, cynide cannot be slow poison and using slow poison would have been very risky also according to same room killer perspective
So it's a cover up to save the tourism business until something with sense comes up
Sometimes to be alone is better, to avoid bad, insane, creepy friends or peoples.
Tourism in VN is going down hill comparing to Thailand, no wonder...
I’m probably wrong, but what popped up in my mind was that one of the women laced the tea.

Too suspicious. SMH THAILAND
Lately there were many tourists in Thailand and the Philippines found murdered by kidnapping gangs.
I don’t know about Philippine but in Thailand most of the case are the foreigners are kidnapped/killed by the same countries men and they know each other so it’s has nothing to do with the local.
not a safe place to visit
To be fair, you should give more information. All recent cases in Thailand were victims of murderers of his own nation. A Japanese was murdered by other Japanese. A Korean was kidnapped and murdered by Koreans. Last case, a Chinese student was kidnapped and murdered by a Chinese man.
Have anyone ever told you to be careful when you say or write some things sketchy about people or a country.
Thailand welcomes everyone but if you have problem, please sort it out in your home country😢
Depends on where you go. Minandao is not safe. I have to been Baguio (very nice city) and Manila, Angeles City, Tagaytay. The US is more dangerous than Philippines, especially in certain sections of cities. South Central LA, Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Oakland, Miami, Philadelphia. I don't go out at night here in the USA. Too much crime.
@@pwpw8822this is the reason why Thailand not in my list.
all 6 are dead but somehow they know about the backstory of debt and the amt of debt...
most likely the target is 1 person and the rest 5 are just collateral damage...
and also cyanide in drinks are very noticable because it reacts with water

Dont say One of the victims is the murderer. You never know the server himself or the chef is the murderer. It has to be investigated properly and thourouly.
So it could also have been the housekeeping dude
Hotel doesn't want to loose customers plus authorities in the country want it cleared fast so tourists don't fear visiting....its cant be the end and closure of those deaths more needs to be investigated

Did someone make a speculative conclusion based on anecdotal evidence? The dead cannot defend herself.
Yep fascinating that 5 bodies all underwent an autopsy so quickly after the event

Are you stupid
2:04, that is so wrong from what the police is saying, they are not saying anything about the investigation; but Thailand is a place to visit... so mess up. beside why not reach out to Interpol or ask the obi for help due to inexperience. when you need help, never be ashamed to ask for help. I just love how investigation just blame the dead, it's their fault they are fighting, tunnel vision is never good, I have been watching a lot of those shows like the first 48. there are so many news reporters and one or two police with no detectives.
Why would the murderer also poison herself with the cyanide?
Lesson learned. Stopped going to this country even in the Philippines either. It’s dangerous for a foreigner.
Hey, not dangerous in the Philippines. Stop being toxic.

What about the possibility of a (mental) hotel staff poison the water beforehand? Just because the door was locked from the inside, they quickly ruled out other possibiliies? Unless they found the vial in the room and had dusted for fingerprints to conclude that one of the victims is also the perpetrator (which they didn't say).
