The trend is not unusual. Prior to the Royal Thai Police visits from Bangkok the local boys in Brown have a bit of a clamp down to ensure they dont look like theyre not in control.

Dont know about Phangan but all the bar owners etc in Samui are being advised to ensure all their paperwork etc is in order. Bankok police are reportedly arriving 25th for the week.

Coco confirms Sadd arrest

Coco International Properties has confirmed that its Managing Director, Alan Sadd, was the UK national reported as being arrested as he attempted to leave Thailand last Tuesday on charges of bouncing a cheque.

The Samui property development firm released a statement saying, "Managing Director of Coco, Alan Sadd was arrested on Tuesday 15 January as he attempted to leave Samui to fly to Taiwan."

The statement went on to say that The Bangkok Post, reported that Sadd had "admitted [to] bouncing a large cheque to a construction firm."

The Bangkok Post article in question also reported that immigration police arrested the Briton as he and a female Thai national were making arrangements to fly to Taiwan from Koh Samui airport.

60-year-old Sadd, who is both a pub owner and a real estate investor, is accused of failing to pay Bt750,000 to a construction firm he hired to work on a Koh Samui resort in 2007.

- Asia Property Report

Fact not Fiction

I have spoken to Coco International Properties today who have said they are very keen to hear from Asia Property Report regarding the statement they supossedly issued regarding this junk story. No statement was in fact made and since the facts were not even correct it seems highly unlikely they made this statement.

In fact they have asked their lawyers to contact Asia Property Report on their behalf to see why their

reporter made this up or to confirm which bar he heard it in....... lol

Investigative reporting at its best....lol

As someone with kids I must say it'd be a shame if this project has been abandoned. I've seen this info nowhere else to date... can anyone confirm

"You get a microwaveable sterilizer which is great. 200ml of water and 4 mins in the micro."

We used one of these. Cheap to buy and perfectly good for the job.
