Tourism is down right now, I had some family a couple of weeks ago staying in a 5 star hotel in Karon, only 5 rooms booked and at night the place was in darkness, restaurant closed,
What evidence do you have they bought from the police, Most of the guys I used to know here in Phuket the one you are referring to were legit, But only Brit's arrested?
The immigration raiding places is not exclusive to Thailand, It happens in the UK, last week in the Uk the immigration raided my Daughter's restaurant, it took 10 immigration officers to carry out the raid,
They found no illegals working there,
Down here in Phuket BOLT works fine, recently I had some family over here we had to use it a few times for us was always on time and decent cars, One day a driver turned up a a fortuna just for me,
Many years ago low season here in Phuket used to be full of Aussies, Come to think of it we have not had any Aussie guest for a couple of years, are they all going to Bali?
