Since December 1, officials have arrested six foreign nationals overstaying their visas, imposed fines on 117 foreigners

Focusing on the worst criminals first I see.

 

It's not like all of Phuket is controlled by the local mafia...

So first step, arrest and resign all the police then everyone will feel a lot safer and the crime rate will drop overnight. Problem solved and I haven't had my G&T yet ????

You should have taken your G&T, as that would have made you remember a very important factor. It´s an occupation reserved for Thais. There you have it! It´s really simple. ????

Phuket is the Cradle of Royal Thai Police Corruption governed by Region 8 Headquarters the retirement home for all those Phuket policemen occupying inactive posts including the original Joe Ferrari. .

The campaign targets inappropriate behavior, illegal activities, dangerous acts and disruptions to peace and order. It also targets international criminals attempting to operate out of Thailand and tarnish the nation’s image.

They don't need the help from foreign crims to tarnish Los. 

The natives can do that themselves.

Bearing in mind that there are 50,000 (?) Thais for every foreigner, shouldn't the number of non-foreigners fined be nearly 6 million Thais fined too? Instead, the number reported is zero. Or don't Thais commit crimes as 'Oh no, Thai person never do that sir'?

Phuket province has launched its Phuket Crime-Free campaign to stamp out criminal activities and illegal businesses. Local authorities hope the campaign will help boost confidence among tourists and make the city a safer place to live and visit.

Shouldn't things like this be an ongoing initiative?

Maybe the UK & Dubai should do the same?

overstays are not the 'crimes' that concern tourists and residents nor do they even care one iota.

Theft, scams, overpricing, hacking, burglary, assaults, taxi mafia would make the list though.

Never in the history of man has crime been eliminated. Setting the goal so high guarantees failure. 

There were never any goal posts and the Police are well versed in failure.

So it should be successful in achieving nothing which was probably the original intention.

Impressive - so they'll all resign after all the politicians and local leaders are fired, and the soldiers too - starting with the top and working their way down.

 

After that, perhaps start to train and recruit some real police, including the new initiative started abroad some years ago called 'Traffic Division' where they actually go out and see how people drive (rather than go out and deliberately ignore everything they see).

 

Very reassuring - I'm confident that this isn't simply a publicity story for the media.
