Really depends on occasion. I assume they will find the (real) culprit here. Unless someone wanted to deliberately kill people, free drink wasn't the issue here, as they might have easily been sold to others. Best to avoid all alcohol alltogether.
BackPacking tourism should be shut down. It only lure pedophile and predators from Thailand and Vietnam! Laos should be focusing on educations and building up new jobs and family and single people orientations.
locals sometimes target tourists especially the westerners. Never Take free drinks, don't buy locally made booze either. I would stay away from alcohol. People wages in Laos and Cambodia is about 1/20 of what many of these tourists make back home and these people know it. These people got deliberately targeted and was no accident.
In Thailand, these things do not exist because the government and the Ministry of Public Health strictly control them. Anyone who does this is breaking the law and faces the death penalty. However, in underdeveloped countries like Burma, Laos, and Cambodia, they can do this because the communist governments are not strict about these things. In Laos, there is a lot of illegal liquor that does not meet international standards because the villagers brew and drink it themselves. Therefore, drinking illegal liquor can be dangerous and even fatal. You have to be careful because it is not up to international standards and has not been certified by the Lao Ministry of Health. The Lao government does not conduct any research or issue the highest penalty as same as another country, they would strictly prohibit production because it lacks standards. And another thing, if there is anything bad about this country, the Lao communist government will forbid all media in Laos from reporting the news. If anyone reports the news, that person will be arrested and killed, or imprisoned until they are forgotten. And ordinary Lao people are also prohibited from criticizing their own government or making positive comments about things. But Lao people can criticize people from other countries.
During the 1920s Prohibition Era in USA, people frequently went blind or died as a result of drinking bad moonshine. Looks like bad drinks are all over the place in SE Asia.
Me too I live in the US and I worked with a Russian woman who thought I was weird because I didn't drink alcohol, and a guy from Ireland said I needed to sniff some white powder 🤬 wonder how they are doing now 🤔
Why would the parents leave their children and daughters and and their love to go so far and they don't know anything about them and when they die they feel sad why there is no logic there is no brain
Tragic loss. I was at the hostel in March this year - I visited each night for the happy hour, they served the alcohol to anybody, whether you were staying there or not, it definitely didn't taste normal. Also did tipsy tubing arranged through the hostel - plenty of unlabelled moonshine was being passed around. Unlabelled and homebrewed alcohol or 'happy water' as locals call it was prolific across each SE Asian country I visited. There's money to be made off drunk tourists.
Beer is probably the safest thing to drink. It can't be easily and cheaply counterfeited. Bottled water is commonly just refilled with tap water in these hole type countries, the lid glued back together to seem sealed.
I'm suspecting that some of these commenters have never traveled... especially warmer tropical 2nd and third world destinations. Dude is right beer is your best bet... there's a reason out ancestors drank it instead of water...
@@CrayCommerce-pp1wg The only issue is that the beer in most of those countries is the usual ~5% abv continental lager. So it's not difficult to end up getting munted if it's a hot day. 650ml bottles of Kingfisher for 90INR, for instance.
Too often children or young adults come to Asia and lose their lives, i been in Thailand for last 3 years and I’ve seen 5 deaths, I never seen a dead person until I come to Thailand.
I know right, i saw a lot of bike crashes there especially in Koh Tao. Myself included, i crashed there but i was lucky & i only suffered bad skin grazing. Be careful people

This is not that unusual,.Death from drinking illegal alcohol is,but people generally go blind. While living in Kenya it was a weekly occurrence where ethanol was added to local hooch called changaa
I've been to Thailand four times for 2 months each trip and I always drink bottles and never leave my drink unattended. I always made sure that I was there when the bottle was opened.

Ive been in this hostel, they normally give free alchool but its straight from the bottle, curiously this happens right before the peak season that starts december and just one year ago a Mad Monkey opened in Vang Vieng.
I know this was a particular case where they were given free, open shots, but as a general warning, a lot of this alcohol can be made to look official. It can be given to you from closed bottles in bars, or sold in shops, it doesn't have to be from a dodgy looking stranger mixing a cauldron on the street.
Hundreds of tourists consume a quick free shot every day in that town. With a dash of coke or fanta. The tourists and foreigners working the bars and hostel reception do a great job of boosting the mood. Why not, it's such a tiny drink. The methanol could have come from anywhere ... the manufacturer, the wholesaler, the bar or hostel, the staff. Some greedy people somewhere.

Alcohol is medicinal in small amounts. It can be helpful for circulation. A little wine with dinner can help your digestion. The bible warns against getting drunk (male and female). Research shows alcohol is more harmful for women.
More than one person has been poisoned, and it could be entirely separate groups. I haven't heard any details of where the booze was obtained. For all we know it was a bar that bought and sold knock off booze, and in the process poisoned their customers.
This was very lame to me; the manager was not speaking Lao language at all; he appeared to be speaking Chinese; no offense. I hope the truth comes submerged soon.
Depends on how you define malicious. I doubt planned poisoning, this was almost certainly bootleg booze. The question would be who supplied it and where did it enter the supply chain and could there be more out there?
No one planned shite... knock off hooch is the norm in second and third world destinations... Your best bet is brand so small no one would bottle knock off... like a isle scotch from a small batch vendor... or beer... Safe as Tiger and Thai hooch is powerful and mixed with eth. You can drink it but your liver and kidneys need to be in fine resolve There was no intent to kill Dude just getting it from vendors Vendors mix and label and change ratios for profit and availability Simple as
Was it the well known alcohol brands the ones that were tainted? or were they drinking some cheap alcs? .. seriously, why don't they stick to regular alcohol
@@Alex-o1q9d But you can put cheap methylated spirit in a branded bottle if you're unscrupulous. Don't forget the stuff we buy has dye and other chemical agents added to make it smell and taste foul to try and prevent precisely this kind of thing happening. But if you're able to buy lab grade industrial, or produce it then it's going to be near impossible for someone to tell it's methanol until they've already been poisoned by drinking it. Many a home brew/bootleg still has been the cause of accidental poisoning.
Think in this case was local tiger hooch pictured in the segment However in 2nd world and 3rd world destinations heck even the states "Well known Brands" are the ones made with additives and fake bottles that it most cases look better or as good as the original packaging labels and bottles... it s a big business. Add some of this Add some real. Add some food coloring Add some eth Add some methy Mix it all up Massive increase o f profit margin for the whole batch if bottles and cases Best bet is small batch distilleries that are NOT popular Cuz no one is making fraud bottle of the little guys And of course beer Water aint safe in those locales Unless you clean it Lugols iodine or tabs Or sodium chlorite and reactive acidic. Crack it off let it breathe and smoke turns golden then add to your water Jing Jango safe as

So if it had been accidental, nobody would have been arrested?
@spiralsausage Laos 🇱🇦 have you ever been to that part of the world?? I have, of course they would but by now released on some kinda bail, but not these people they still inside 🤷♂️
👆🙄
Channel 4 has blood on their hands
Alcohol is a poison. Never drink that rubbish. Poor parenting bringing up their girls to be drunk
How do you know? Im a teetotaller
Ohhh behave ya numpty
Alcohol is produced naturally in the body.
Alcohol is medicinal in small amounts. It can be helpful for circulation.
A little wine with dinner can help your digestion.
The bible warns against getting drunk (male and female).
Research shows alcohol is more harmful for women.
Not very streetwise was she
More than one person has been poisoned, and it could be entirely separate groups.
I haven't heard any details of where the booze was obtained.
For all we know it was a bar that bought and sold knock off booze, and in the process poisoned their customers.
This was very lame to me; the manager was not speaking Lao language at all; he appeared to be speaking Chinese; no offense. I hope the truth comes submerged soon.
No ,he APPEARED to be speaking Hindi.
Homemade liquor is hard to get right.
Los esperamos en Tijuana,Baja California aqui el Tequila es 100 % puro.🙏🙏🙏
Yeah this is definitely malicious behaviour someone planned this
Depends on how you define malicious.
I doubt planned poisoning, this was almost certainly bootleg booze.
The question would be who supplied it and where did it enter the supply chain and could there be more out there?
@@pauln6803bingo
No one planned shite... knock off hooch is the norm in second and third world destinations...
Your best bet is brand so small no one would bottle knock off... like a isle scotch from a small batch vendor... or beer...
Safe as
Tiger and Thai hooch is powerful and mixed with eth. You can drink it but your liver and kidneys need to be in fine resolve
There was no intent to kill
Dude just getting it from vendors
Vendors mix and label and change ratios for profit and availability
Simple as
Person's Brewing and Supplying boot leg and evening Unknowingly aware off health issues in Production and on to the Customer's s Chain.
Was it the well known alcohol brands the ones that were tainted? or were they drinking some cheap alcs? .. seriously, why don't they stick to regular alcohol
They were drinking shots. They may have felt rude refusing or may have already become too drunk to care when it was offered.
Its alcohol is brewed with methanol. You can't really add it to a branded spirit.
@@Alex-o1q9d
But you can put cheap methylated spirit in a branded bottle if you're unscrupulous.
Don't forget the stuff we buy has dye and other chemical agents added to make it smell and taste foul to try and prevent precisely this kind of thing happening.
But if you're able to buy lab grade industrial, or produce it then it's going to be near impossible for someone to tell it's methanol until they've already been poisoned by drinking it.
Many a home brew/bootleg still has been the cause of accidental poisoning.
Think in this case was local tiger hooch pictured in the segment
However in 2nd world and 3rd world destinations heck even the states "Well known Brands" are the ones made with additives and fake bottles that it most cases look better or as good as the original packaging labels and bottles... it s a big business. Add some of this
Add some real.
Add some food coloring
Add some eth
Add some methy
Mix it all up
Massive increase o f profit margin for the whole batch if bottles and cases
Best bet is small batch distilleries that are NOT popular Cuz no one is making fraud bottle of the little guys
And of course beer
Water aint safe in those locales
Unless you clean it
Lugols iodine or tabs
Or sodium chlorite and reactive acidic. Crack it off let it breathe and smoke turns golden then add to your water
Jing Jango safe as

R.I.P
These tourist spots must be banned
Soso sad my Condolences to their loves,one's rest in sweet peace.
All my best wishes to the victims
Dont trust all lawyers judgement.
When you crave for alcohol, you'll drink anything 😢
I wonder if they make drink dip strips that react to methanol ?
Simple ehhhh don't take drugs like they tell you.
They go for everything free with cheap trip and time to wake up for them.🙈
They go fo cheapr drinks and drugs

What a load of nonsense...
No Scottish or Irish people were harmed
So that's OK then? Prat
Well you're not wrong. I was actually there at the time. Staying at the same hostel when these poor souls lost their lives:(
Is there any more news
U wanna act like little $1uts in the bar area that's what U get
Drink kills. It comes with a warning.
Always people wanting to make more money cheaply.
RIP TO ALL CONCERNED. 🙏🤍🤍🤍☮️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Horrific
All too easy with a home brew still to end up with methanol contamination.
Either that or someone was bottling industrial alcohol and passing it off as cheap vodka.
Nasty.
