It is extremely sad to see the amount of uneducated, depressed souls on this forum.
The take away from this is that the criminals were caught in a very short time frame, by the Thai police.
Compare to MANY other countries in this region, including India, and you would be reading about dead victims, or worse!
Really? The police did nothing??? The victims are free, no ransom was paid, and it was done in short order.
Sad to see so many of you dissing the place, but choosing to live here.
