They did but he was fighting the police and set fire to his cell, any more good ideas? 

Do they allow you to have matches or lighters in Thai police cells?

To be honest the guy does not seem a reliable person and his story is full of holes. I think its a attention / moneygrab.

It is a basic human right for a person to not to speak to police or answer questions until he has representative present. 

Where?

My first thought as well.

Much more to this story, but sensational press don't mention that.

I was mugged by 2 Thai shopping mall security guards. a few years back ( no i wasn't drunk or causing a problem) They hit me over the head with a wooden staff, stole my wallet and my phone. Police did EVERYTHING they could to find a reason not to investigate, even refusing me hospital treatment until  I had  signed  a statement in Thai. I refused. No phone call, no treatment. Luckily my wife's brother is a police officer. They found out where i was. When they arrived I was still at the desk with the unsigned statement in front of me . My wife read it before the officer could take it away. It was totally false in saying I fell over, drunk and the guards helped me and i had lost my wallet and phone when I fell. Thai police are no saints!

Obviously there is a lot more to this story than what has been reported.

This prompted me to get my Viz annuals out.

The British police will get no cooperation from the Thai police. The Koh Tao murders proved us that. The Thai authorities would not allow the British Police to reveal their findings from their investigation  which were strictly controlled by the Thai police.
