that Spencer Charles, 25, fell 100 metres to a creek below the zipline and was pronounced dead Saturday morning.
Charles was in Thailand with a group of people including his girlfriend, according to the newspaper. Family members in Canada were contacted and believed to be on their way to Thailand Sunday. According to the Post, the cause of the cable’s disconnection remains under investigation, although Flight of the Gibbon zipline has accepted full responsibility for the incident., Flight of the Gibbon describes itself as “the #1 zipline tour operator in Thailand” and says it follows “the highest possible safety standards.”
It operates one zipline in the Bangkok area and another – the one Charles was reportedly using – approximately 700 kilometres north in Chiang Mai.
You do realize that this photo represents an area that isn’t even close to Chiang Mai? For those of us who have a child travelling in Thailand, it’s important to get your visuals straight when reporting a story It’s over 1200km North!
