After reading these post's there appears to be a lot of thai I presume calling for the Reds to disband because of the damage there doing to Thailands infrastructure and the damage there doing to there tourism industry.

Excuse me but when the upper and Elite ( the yellow shirts) brought the country to its knees when they closed down the airports and trapped tourists inside there hotels. Why wasn't there a State of Emergency declared then or a clamp down and closure of TV stations.

Let me assure you yummie the yellow protesters damaged your reputation and cost you more in lost tourism then this present protest.

Lets be honest with ourselve's how are you going to get justice in a country who's own people think curruption is the way of life this statement was said by thais not farangs.

Thats why your a 3rd world country with 3rd world education standards and justice. All phuket has going for it is its climate, nothing more, I for 1 hope you sink into the bog where you came from before us bad farangs soiled your island LOL. You the thais in this room were not slagging us farangs off when we funded you after the tsunami were you, where was the money from your governer.

If justice is served right in thailand why is your Ex prime minister hel_l bent on bringing your goverment down and why has he not served his jail term. Answear this although thinking that far ahead is way beyond your bog standard thai. som nom nah.

Your all missing the point apart from the expats that live in phuket. The thai logic is there will always be planes full of tourist same same. I use to be a reguler visitor to patong pre tsunami and after it realy has declined as a top destination and i for 1 will never return talk about the hand that feeds you. The thai mentality is simple rip them off they will always come, but the numbers are not comeing thats why crimes on the increase.

Glynski as you have been told once the novelty wears off and you realise the theft and scams perpertrated against you and the double pricing if your out with your lady will you still feel the same. Hope it doesn't happen but if your out riding your bike and a local cuts you off and you run into him once you paid his hospital bills his new bike his lack of ernings and it will be your fault because your farang i wonder if you will still feel the same. Listen to what the older members say on here and take it in. The tuk tuk drivers boss stated why is my driver not allowed bail he is thai sums it up realy.

Well when the tuk tuk drivers boss says why is he not on bail because he is thai, kind of sums up the ignorent attitude the thais have to visitors. So in the boss's way of thinking the tuk tuk driver is ok beat someone and because he is thai and should not locked up.

But it doesn't happen anywhere steveni the local gangsters don't care if tourists are around when they decide to have a shoot out it could be a back st bar or patong beach rd in broad daylight in the afternoon in full view of holiday tourists with there family's crime as everyone knows is on the increase in phuket or are you in denial simoni that it is not a major problem it only takes another tuk tuk driver to attack an older tourist and you will have your 1st murder, this is the prime reason phuket is finished as a tourist destination if it was a farang who comitted this crime or any other crime that damaged phukets reputation they would have been paraded the next day outside chalong police station with all the officers pointing there fingers at him but when its a local an arrest isnt even forthcomeing and is shoved under the carpet.

oh dear another murder on thailands premier holiday isle wont be long before a tourist gets it that tuk tuk driver nearly did it is he back working yet or is he still on the run or as i suspect is he running jj to the beach at patong so he can carry on threatening tourists. No more is phuket sinking into the mire its sunk with its greed and curruption.

The simple answear is nothing will get done the thai logic is simple there are many tourists no problem 2 weeks there gone no problem this is thai logic same as jet ski scam jj is still ripping people off but he is still on the beach working did he pay a fine for demanding money by menace or was thai logic working ie keep sthum jj it will die down and you can carry on incidentally do any expats in patong know how this scumbag was dealt with for all the aggro he caused.

people like pattaya girl realy piss me off with her typical thai mai pen rai attitude quote after all there only tourists for 2 weeks this is the mentality of your bog standard educated thai.

Lets have a closer look livingthailandos land at swampy scam inolving king power cost tourist 50k the main culprit behind the scam never reprimanded.

Have a sucsessfull buisness with a thai partner you end up shot ( nanai rd, murder of real estate canadian hit man bought in.

Shops as soon as they see your farang the doller starts flashing.

My favorite Scams 1 name jj naiman HMS Bulwark any bells ringing yet livingthailandos, the latest tuk tuk mafia blocking entrance's to to big hotels and resorts because there not gettin at the feeding bowl.

Murders how many so far this year ok thai on thai at the moment for now but do you want to be in a resort with your wife and kids and have to dodge bullits in a gangland shoot out in broad daylight.

I have never mentioned Honk Kong or malasia in my posts.

Having read your post's CM i think your not in the same phuket ive been to several times not a fly by tourist. If you believe what the TaT say you must be as trustworthy as them. Ist they tell us there prediction of a high tourist number is what they say then they admit they miss calculated, then we hear staff are losing there jobs because of the drop in tourist numbers. So who is telling the truth. It is the pure greed of the tuk tuk and most tourist related locals that have cost phuket and in particuler Patong your reputation of a world class destination now it is just a crime ridden rip off s t hole that is fading fast. At the end of the day you can't soar with the Eagles when your flying with Turkeys. Incidently 1 of the headlines on thai visa was the tat is attemting to bring more koreans into holiday in thailand was this before they bib impunded 1 of there planes and arrested the korean crew ha ha come thailand embrace's you.

MMMMM wonder if abrac is a thai working in a goverment office somewhere with his financial experise. lets see how many in here believe what the thais reasons are for the drop in tourists numbers.

let me give you mine

1 Fed up of being ripped off

2 fleeced of my hard earned cash as soon as i land in swampy

3 Hated by the majority of the locals

4 scammed at every opportunity

5 Double charged because im farrang

and finally i dont want to be involved in a gang shootout in patong and having to deal and fight your case against currupt bib, is it sinking in Abrac. I think these are some of the reasons your ship is sinking fast.

Was this before the plod impounded that korean plane for carrying arms

The news today was thai airways are suing pad over the airport blockade. Why then cant the hotel owners sue the tuk tuk owners for blocking there hotels. I know it won't happen but its about time these thugs and thieve's were taught a lesson and maybe a few of them locked up for comitting a nuisence to hotel guests.

At the end of the day your dealing with idiots and people with sub standard education hence the statement from the tuk tuk boss in karon. Start by setting as example and lock him up for a few days. The governor knows the tourist industry in Phuket mostly Patong is always in the spotlight at present and he will not want this to escalate to world news at least on you tube. Lets see how he deals with this latest knock back.

I read a report that the head of the hotel association said only last week that because of the drop of tourist numbers he is worried that staff will lose there jobs and crime will increase as the projected figures for this high season are way down on jast year. My thead was about the negative PR not about people setting up buisness. The german guy scammed was set up on the bangla by holding a few ciggerettes for a thai guy in a packet that contained a small ammount of cannabis inside it. the thai guy( his excuse) was he was going to get another packet. low and behold bib turned up and arrested him and tried to charge him with supplying. It was the old threat of a long jail term till his trial ie flight booked that he was forced to pay the bribe to realease him after 3 days. That jj was reportedly still awaiting trial or has that little scam been hushed up by the powers that be as the local authoroties now want you tube banned showing the scams. Would it not be a fare opinion to suggest that expats living in or around patong are blinkered and unaware of the deep rooted problems that still persist that are keeping numbers away. And why are the price's out of proportion compared to krabi - pattayya etc. In the economic problem the locals still put up prices in high season and shoot themselves maybe when a few have gone to the wall they might listen but on past record I doubt this will happen. I cannot print the forum name but as an example a dozen long term visitors to phuket that have been going to the same resort for the last 4 years have this year decided to go elsewhere this christmas because in there words, Phuket and in particuler patong has become the rip off and scam island of Thailand.

Having read other site's 1 particuler in Phuket it wpuld appear that Patong is in the news again for rhe wrong reasons yet again. Another gang shooting i dead near cape panwa, price's out of control in Patong, the imigration chief arresting the welcoming commitee with a plane full of aussies comeing through the airport, an aussie scammed and jailed after being set up by a stoolie resulting in a bribe to get him out of prison and the best back to the bad old jet ski scam after 2 jet skis collide outside a resort that didnt want to be name'd. Yes good old phuket just can't stop putting its foot in. Is it hel_l bent on driving what tourist it has away.,

when i was last in patong i went everyday to noks chicken & sports bar great fry up cheap as well. it is located off the rat u thit

So the old Patong tuk tuks must be relishing running all the punters over to karon and bringing them back. <deleted> the jet skis get yourself a tuk tuk imagine what you can charge with a few pissed farangs comeing back fronm the raves at karon.

Sassiene i am a brit and i have been a reguler visitor to phuket for 7 years i am neither scum or a drunk. I will not be found waking up on a beach either. In your obviouse oppinion do you think its ok for people like me who works hard for his holiday to come to a country where as soon as the plane reaches its gate there are people trying to remove your money from you be it a taxi or going to a shop and being charged double. Do you accept in your own words that if you dont like the way your treat in thailand go back to where you come from, so you believe then that it is ok to rob somebody be it a scam or whatever it is pure robbery. Answear us all 1 simple question that scum bag jj is in court next week or is that made up to make the thais look bad. what is he charged with we know do you. I will agree with you in 80s We the brits were seen as troublesome in spain and greece but that was then. Times change and it is very seldom we hear of bad troublemakers in these destinations ie there country addressed the problem and stopped the troublemakers. I find your post's both disgracefull and disrepecting of us. What country are you from. If you can't post a thread without slagging people off i sugest you go to another forum, your views are not welcome here.

Who said in a previouse post it wont be long before thai visa closes this thread. just looked up phuket room, and living in kata has closed the thread on big trouble in tourist thailand wonder why ??????

Notice how the report looked in the Bkk post ALLEGED extortian by jet ski opperator. Says it all realy after all the post's and video the thai nation will still dis-believe this occured. Herman Goering would have been proud of this propaganda machine in full flow.

Best 1 so far at the meeting in Phuket this morning have a guess who turned up along with the other jet ski scammers. If this was not a seriouse issue you would have thought he would have been ostrasized out of Patong for what he did, but no he was at the meeting, would have liked to have been a fly on the wall. Lets wait for the bullshit escuse and there answear as to how they can salvage whats left ha ha .

How many of you on T/V know what Mai Pen Rai means. This is implanted in thais at birth. If your sat in a bar and a car crashes into the bar and injures you its your fault for sitting in the bar. This is the attitude of your bog standard thai's way of thinking. Feed them what you want them to hear and they will believe it. That is why some posters on here are trying to defend the thai way of thinking. (mai pen rai) in action. Let us not be in any doubt falangs are thought of for 1 thing only nothing more nothing less. The thai mind set is they (the falang) have money full stop. If someone is caught stealing from a falang its accepted as the norm. To the non believers who i presume are thai in here why do you still believe the program was staged, you have been told everyone who took part were told and made to sign a document to participate in the program even JJ phoned the producer and arranged transport he admitted this but yet you still think it was set up. Why are the jet ski opperators from phuket having a meeting today, if it was not for Big Trouble do you honestly think they would all be having a meeting to disguss the DAMAGE that has been caused by those themselves. Even the governor in the early stages admitted these scams were damaging the reputation of Phuket however no doubt a word in his ear and his attitude was changed. What is disgracefull in all this is the attitude shown by a goverment that takes no action when a group shuts down both airports and costs them billions in lost revenue yet when a company outside thailand films and shows the kind of theft against tourists they the gov't are quick to defend there action and blame everything on outsiders.

Latest on the rumour Mill the thai goverment is now after Gavin Hill for working in Thailand without a visa. How come he brought to the worlds attention the news of the year yet now the thai goverment want to try and turn the tables by prosecuting him absolutly brilliant more PR from tot.

I think HOPALONG is either a bar owner, a jet ski opp, or a memer of the police. Whoever he is he is not on the same planet as me. Obviousely Thai comeing out with that drivel havn't we heared these words before ( if you dont like it go back to where you come from) if i had my way hopalong i wish everyone would f... off so you could get back to what you did before tourism and you were all living in bamboo houses. fishing and collecting bufaloe shit. Shame the thai seems have forgotton how much the west helped them after the tsunami. Wonder where they'd be now without it. Let me give you a word of advice hopalong Do not bite the hand that feeds you steal from him rip him off or scam him once you understand these rules feel free to post.

Ask some members on the Samui forum why 2 swiss tourists had to be escorted to there plane yesterday after being threatened with violence and rape by jet ski operators on Cheweng beach, or was that made up too. Repoted by Andrew Drummond this morning in bkk.
