Daniel Owen, 47, and his 15-year-old son Cooper died on 15 October while visiting an eco-adventure resort near the northern city of Luang Prabang. Hundreds of what are believed to have been Asian giant hornets attacked the pair while they were trying to descend from a tree, a source close to two US diplomats in Laos told The Times. Their bodies were “covered in red spots” after the “very, very painful” attack, Phanomsay Phakan, a doctor at the Phakan Arocavet Clinic where the father and son were taken, told the newspaper. Daniel Owen was director of an international school in Vietnam open image in gallery Daniel Owen was director of an international school in Vietnam (Facebook/Quality Schools International) “A lot of stings, more than 100, over the whole body. I thought already that it’s a very dangerous situation because I had never seen it as bad as that,” he said.

It was about 20 feet up climbing up the side. Since then I have always been weary of climbing trees in asia. Snakes can be above you. And hornets. Wjw. Didn't see it coming.

If not that one, then one very close. My buddy did zip-lining there. It looked very sketchy to me. Seems I was right.

There are people like 27-year old me all over the place there, out of their minds on psychedelics, driving motorbikes and shooting rivers and ziplining, occasionally deathing out. Darwin operates vigorously among tourists in Laos. Sounds like a really painful way to go, savaged by hornets.

Worst place i have ever been is a tiger zoo. They let you in with a 500 pound tiger and a 80 pound se Asian bro with a stick. You can cuddle and take pictures with the tiger. I imagine they drug the tiger because that thing would normally eat the Asian bro with one bite.

Phnom Penh is where the people too sketchy for Bangkok land.Replies require login.
