samui mafia sorry police force are a joke

That is not my experience having lived here for more than 20 years.

I have been in need of the police support on a number of occasions and found them to be helpful and sympathetic.

Stolen kayak - recovered.

A farang on a motorbike was attacked and punched by a drugged up local rich guy - sorted.

Local Thai crashed his scooter and his friend accused me of causing the accident - police said no.

Security guard beaten up by a local 'Mr big' - resolved.

Two lost kids  - found and so on.

I have never been asked for money or a bribe.

Eight years since Volker was attacked and killed by local kids, nothing happened.
