White sand beaches, untouched jungles, cloudless skies. People come to Thailand to get away from it all. But the seemingly idyllic paradise of Koh Tao, once known as Turtle Island, has turned from beauty to horror as a string of brutal murders and unexplained disappearances have rocked the community. Government cover-ups, corrupt police, bungled investigations, silenced natives, cults. Locals and tourists have come to known this place as: Death Island.

Klantrecensies
Lacks critical self-awareness
While an interesting podcast, the casual racism and postcolonial attitude towards Thailand and its authorities by some of the interviewees, that remains unquestioned by the podcast makers, is off-putting. The attractiveness of Thailand to westerners is one side of a coin, while the absence of “proper” police investigations is the other side of that same coin. The inherent hypocrisy in our attitude towards countries like Thailand should have been discussed by the podcast makers.
