  1. I don't get angry very often but stories like this sets it off. The BiB know this scum is about yet they do nothing, seems to them ''expected stuff'', all routine for a farang paradise holiday. w00t.gif

    no amount of ' Hub ' Campaigns will help Thailands Image, Dailymail is the biggest read online paper in the world, and this story will definitively put people off visiting !

    • Jack Cole and April Clifton, both 21 from Bath, were enjoying a romantic stroll towards a pier in Ao Nang, in Thailand, when the gang pounced
    • Jack said they had lain in wait in shadows before grabbing April, laughing
    • When Jack stepped in they stabbed him repeatedly and fled into the night
    • April escaped to a dive shop while a Brit ex-pat came to Jack's aid
    • Brit ex-pat slams Thai authorities for allowing 'gangs of teenagers, armed with knifes and machetes, to roam Ao Nang like a Hollywood horror movie'
    • It comes just three months after a 19-year-old Dutch model was raped there

    A young British tourist has told of the moment he was repeatedly stabbed by a gang of youths as he tried to save his girlfriend from a pack sex attack in Thailand.

    Jack Cole and April Clifton, both 21 from Bath, were enjoying a romantic stroll towards a boat pier in Ao Nang, in southern Thailand, when the motorcycle gang pounced from nearby shadows.

    The laughing thugs grabbed April, clawing at her clothes, before Jack jumped to her defence.

    But the armed youths then turned on him, puncturing his face and body with a flurry of stabs, before they fled into the night leaving Jack to die in a pool of blood.

    Luckily a passing British tourist heard Jack's cries for help and called paramedics to the idyllic beach resort.

    'It was a calculated attack,' Jack said from the Bangkok-Phuket hospital today. 'They drove past us several times checking us out. We thought they had gone but they came out of the shadows and attacked April.'

    PHUKET: Hotel heiress Paris Hilton dropped into Bangkok for her first visit to the Kingdom yesterday to publicly endorse the Sydictive Element New Year’s party set for Phuket’s Surin Beach.

    The New Year’s Eve bash will run from December 30 to the first sunrise of 2013, and has already booked a number of world-class artists and DJs, including Basement Jaxx, Alex Gaudino and the club sensation LMFAO.

    Artists “will perform on the centered stage in the ocean, kept afloat next to Surin Beach in Phuket, engineered with 3D mapping and with an LED backdrop,” Sydictive Element’s website says.

    “There will be both laser shows as well as an unprecedented hologram show, unlike any that Asia has ever seen,” it added, hinting at a 2Pac-like hologram show recently seen in the US.

    Ticket prices as listed on the event’s website range from the regular early bird ticket for 2,000 baht to the 20-person “private floating villa” costing 2 million baht.

  3. In anticipation of Property Report’s special 100th edition, due for publication in December, the last couple of days have been spent dusting down back copies, armed with archival gloves and tweezers, and sifting through the pages to hand-pick and compile memorable quotes and significant market factors from the last eight years. Starting from scratch, something struck me about the first issue, a lightweight, 14-page newsletter released back in the spring of 2004. It ran with the headline: Second airport for Samui? Sound familiar? It should.

    Eight years on, the question is once again making the rounds in the local media and has tongues twitching on the island.

    To put in perspective the length of time that has passed since rumours initially circulated about potential construction of a second airport, page two of the inaugural Property Report features an analysis discussing post-bomb Bali, in addition to a double-page spread looking at the potential of Phnom Penh’s puerile property sector
