I found this really interesting so i thought i would do some research into it and holy shit it gets weird. I know this is long but its worth it i promise:
That is a real review from that tripadvisor account [ michaelH1459PZ ] (for those of you who don’t know, Michael is Phil’s middle name) , but it isn’t for that bar. the review is for Sky Bar Bangkok, Thailand (I cant link a specific review, but if you filter by excellent reviews, couples, jun-aug, and English you will get a short list and it is near the top). It reads as follows:
“ this place is beutiful i went here with my fiance and we got engaged everyone was so nice and kind he enjoyed the views (which are amazing!!) and i loved the food this was the most fun ive ever had “
there are several typos. the writing style is more like Dan’s but we all know Dan is a snob so i feel like he would have written a more eloquent and detailed review. Also, “this was the most fun ive ever had” fucking really??? That’s really reaching and probably the most damning evidence for this being written by some demon phannie as a plant.
BUT there is another review (use the same search criteria) from that same account that actually is for Ozone Bar at the Ritz-Carlton in Hong Kong. it reads as follows:
“ Pricey drinks but for the amazing views i would pay any day. me and my fiance loved the selection of drinks i will remember this place forever, it is an amazing place to have any celebration with loved ones. It’s on the 118th floor of the building but there is an elevator. what a day. “
Here’s where it gets weird:
I saw someone saying that it didn’t make sense that the reviews would be posted on the same day as they actually went to Ozone (August 29th). We know that dnp went to the Ozone bar because Phil tweeted (this) and (this). These tweets were posted on August 29th at around 1:25PM Hong Kong time. I noticed that on the tripadvisor review photos, the ozone seems to have 2 different lighting options, one for day and one for night. The photos phil posted show Ozone’s night lighting mode despite having posted them in the afternoon, so i did some digging: August 29th was a Monday and Ozone doesn’t open until 5PM on Mondays, three and a half hours after they posted the photos. This means that they must have gone before the 29th and taken the photos then!
“But when?”, you ask. I am 100% sure it was on the 28th. In the process of trying to pin down proof of the exact date that they left Australia, I discovered that in Dan’s Farfetch’d Quest in Hong Kong at 4:07, you can see on Dan’s phone that that video was filmed on a Saturday (meaning Saturday August 28th) and when he returns to the hotel room at the end, you can see that Phil is wearing the shirt seen in the Ozone photos. My hypothesis would be that Phil took the meds that Dan brought him, Dan cleaned up, and they went out for the night.
It is entirely realistic that they would have gone to Ozone on the 28th and written a review the next day. On August 30th at 9:21AM GMT, Dan tweeted this in reference to their flight back. We can infer that they flew back on August 29th. What better time than a 12 hour flight to leave tripadvisor reviews using in-flight wifi?
Because the review from the sky bar in Bangkok mentions getting engaged and the review from the ozone bar mentions already being engaged, it can be inferred that (if this is legit) they would have visited Thailand together before August 28th and gotten engaged then. Neither one of them has ever tweeted about gong to Thailand, but it is possible that they spent August 5-6, 2016 there. Here’s how:
Dan did a livestream on August 3rd (a rare Wednesday livestream the day after DAPGO was announced) and mentioned that they would be be in a recording studio on August 4th (18:42) for a mysterious reason (looking back this was most likely for recording The Internet is Here). They sent out a few tweets (1/2/3/4) between the 5th and the 6th that were generic with no photos or indicators of their location. We have no physical proof as to where they were on these days and therefor no proof that they were not in Thailand. Tweet 1 would have been sent around 10:30PM Bangkok time on the 5th and tweets 2-4 would have been sent around 4PM Bangkok time on the 6th which is totally reasonable. They were in Hong Kong on August 7th based on this tweet. it is technically possible that they flew in from Bangkok earlier that day as that photo was taken at night leaving the nights of the 5th and 6th totally open. We have no proof that they were not in Thailand.
There are two other tripadvisor reviews from this account. One is for a hotel in Reading, England. It reads:
“ the bed was very comfy as the duvet was perfect for winter time the location was stunning and we really enjoyed the staff and how kind they were it was very close to our family and easy to find i would go again “
This hotel is located 20 minutes from Dan’s hometown of Wokingham. Forgive me if I missed something but I can’t remember them ever mentioning them going to visit Dan’s family together. That of course does not necessarily mean it has never happened. When Dan visits his family alone (for Christmas and such) he stays with them as is evidenced by his complaining about the lack of wifi and heating, but it is possible that if he and Phil were to visit together, they would stay in a hotel nearby if there was not enough for for the both of them.
The other is for the London zoo. It doesn’t appear to contain anything of topical significance so I won’t post the full text, but you can follow the link if you want to read it. However, these 2 reviews are still important and contain vital evidence. Stay with me here. If we imagine that everything I have suggested is 100% true, there should be no evidence to the contrary in the other 2 reviews. Brief recap: The Sky Bar Bangkok review describes getting engaged. I am suggesting that happened on August 5th or 6th 2016. The Ozone bar Hong Kong review mentions that they are engaged. They were at Ozone on August 28th 2016. All 4 reviews by the account were posted on August 29th 2016. dnp were not in England at all in between these dates (they were in Asia and Australia the entire time). The zoo review and the Reading hotel review mention being there with another person, but not that that person was their fiance. If this were some demon phannie planting evidence, I would assume that they would have fucked up here. I would think that they would have mentioned that the reviewer went there with their fiance (which would have proved it as a fake because they could not have visited any location in England between August 5-6 when they got engaged and August 29th when the review was written).
It is entirely possible of course that this is just a hoax or a strange coincidence, however if it is a hoax, either they did their fucking research or have some damn good luck m8. This shit is airtight.
This is all in good fun, please please please do not tag this in the d*n*sn*t*nf*r* or *m*z*ngph*l tags. I will hunt you down.
This took me 7 fucking hours, 3 cups of coffee and several years off of my life. Do not repost this.
