This is an extremely serious problem that the Thai government had better take immediate, aggressive to extreme measures to solve. Since much of Thailand's economy is dependant on tourism, it is adviseable for the police to conduct major sting operations, preferably involving INTERPOL to have foreigners who appear to be tourists in the areas these crimes are occurring actually be heavily armed INTERPOL Agents. Once members of this criminal syndicate accost them and attempt to rob or attack them with any weapon, the Agents can arrest them at gunpoint if possible, or shoot the suspects to terminate their ability to harm them or evade arrest.
As a Federal Law Enforcement Agent from the United States, I know this is possible, as I have personally been involved in very similar operations both in the USA, as well as the Philippines and Mexico.
