Photo: Eakkapop Thongtub By Eakkapop Thongtub PHUKET: A gang claiming to rent cars for business involving a large cannabis operation in Phuket is wanted for stealing 10 rental vehicles, cars and vans, after renting them from local car rental operators and not returning them. The owners now fear that the cars and vans have been sold in other provinces. One of the rental operators, Ms Nitiya, owner of Tai Rai Home company in Cherng Talay, told reporters yesterday evening (Sept 26) that she usually only rented cars out to foreigners, but due to the COVID economic crisis was forced to broaden her customer range.

Tropicalevo Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 We used to have this problem on Samui back when Noah was a lad. OK maybe 15 years ago. All rental cars then had to have stickers on the windscreen. When they roll up at the ferry terminal, if there is a sticker, then they ask for the letter from the rental company before you are allowed on the ferry. I do not know if that is still in place, but it stopped the thefts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
