If you read the article you might have seen this !!! "....the attack occurred while she was relaxing on the beach before her return flight...." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HAPPYNUFF Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 My sympathies to the lady, and she was very lucky she was only robbed and assaulted. My 3rd and absolutely last holiday to Phuket, offered to buy a T shirt from a markets vendor "400 baht mister". When I laughed at the seller I got a mouthful of abuse. Looked at a crayfish (called lobster by some) about the size of a king pranwn, 1500 baht in a restaurant. Tuk Tuk to my hotel, 600 baht quote. I walked there in 10 minutes. Keep the bloody place, one gaint tourist rip off. 9 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Let us hope this is not becoming more commonplace. One of the things that attracts alot of us is the relatively low crime rate, committed against foreigners. Prayuth has failed the people so miserably, that there is alot more poverty, homelessness, unemployment, suicide, and desperation happening right now. More than ever before. Let us hope this kind of thing does not escalate, as we continue to endure the "Prayuth precipice".

sambum Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 "Thai Rath contacted the chief of Phuket police Pol Maj-Gen Sermphan Sirikhong who said that the first he heard of the incident was from the media who contacted him." Sounds about right for the RTP chain of command. Probably thought it was just another farang holidaymaker who'd had too much to drink, and was probably "asking for it" so not worthy of his involvement. But now that it turns out that she is the wife of a "celebrity" there is the chance that it might be putting Phuket in a bad light, so now "He promised to find out where and when it happened and get to the bottom of the incident." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video of an "incident" involving footballers walking off the pitch a few years ago. (Sorry, can't recall the players/teams involved), but one player jokingly flicked the ear of one of the opposing team (from behind - boo!) and the resultant rolling around and thrashing about was worthy of an Oscar. It only stopped when even his own team mates were laughing at him! Edited February 10, 2022 by sambum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Come to Thailand and get: Hacked to death with a <machete, sickle, sword> Shot to death <1, 2, 3, 10+> Beat during an <armed robbery, taxi extortion, Grab ride> Raped and possibly murdered while visiting a <national park, scenic waterfall> Just go back into the news archives - it's all there. Of course if you're lucky, you'll have a positive PCR test and be placed in the safety of a hospital lockup for 10 days where your only worry will be if you actually contract Covid and get sick during your stay - then of course, they'll be the hospital bill you'll need to settle when your insurance company denies the claim thanks to the Thai government.

Let us hope this kind of thing does not escalate, as we continue to endure the "Prayuth precipice". I think the problem here is that so many business that supported the lower and middle classes have been shut down and permanently shutter. I have three personal friends (Thais) who have been put out of business over the last year. So - people get desperate as well as extremely frustrated. The frustration than materializes as violence, and given foreigners perceived economic status - that frustration finds an outlet by committing violent acts against foreigners. It's sad. But the Thai government keeps their foot on the neck of many businesses like bars, pubs, and night-time entertainment venues which employed millions. People feel helpless and farangs take the brunt. And there is more and more Thai and Thai violence to boot from what I can see every time I pass my wife's TV. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cncltd1973 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Nasty bit of press for the TAT. Time to put some of those cops in tight shorts to patrol the beaches. But only if Thailand actually cares about the safety of its visitors. Thailand has plenty of cops, the problem is getting them to patrol the neighborhoods for crime instead of waiting for the crime to happen. Basically, Thailand can't police itself beyond checkpoints and curfews, so good luck with attracting wealthy tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
