Nurseynutcase Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I often report the slow loris touts on a beach in Phuket where I go but nothing seems to happen. Anyone got any idea if the police turn up when these people are reported? Never seen anyone apprehended yet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
