Marijke isn't such a common British name. And it was a cloggie who perpetrated the crime.

Years after the event? What help exactly is she giving? Yes, it was a horrible crime, but years ago and the Amsterdam lawyer is long gone.

In a brave move, Marijke has chosen to lift the veil of anonymity, urging other potential victims to come forward. Reflecting on her ordeal, she expressed concern that the man she encountered might have preyed on more women.

Not brave, useless.  What is the point now, after all these years, if indeed it happened at all. A pointless news article.

The make up of most forums. 

Nothing of substance.

10 years after the event, not going to achieve anything. Even if she was spiked by a Dutchman back then there is no proving anything now.

Meetoo, 10 years after? Oh, right, that was what meetoo is about!

Btw.: Why there is this picture in use? That is not Koh Tao, that ist Nang Yuan.

Most people see that just from the dive boats. 

Perhaps, b/c it is a resort on that  island?

 

In case you wanna warn people, real Koh Tao pictures could do that better?

What was she doing for 10 long years....thinking, " Am I in to sterr the dam lawyer?"

I think this is the most garbled piece of journalism I've read fro a long time.

When did it occur? It should be made clear right from the start in the headlines, not buried in the text.

"Koh Tao gained notoriety after 60 Brits died mysteriously from 2014 to 2016." - SERIOUSLY????

She woke up alone in the middle of nowhere except for the "dutchman"????

Koh Tao has a very controversial reputation and there are loads of unanswered questions about the place ut the last thing they need is this ridiculously written piece of journalism.

I've lived in Koh Tao for the past 15 years. Absolute nonsense that 60 Brits have died mysteriously. There were 2 in 2014. Great place to be. Safe, friendly, haunted only by clickbait.
