Tourists Mistakenly Believed They Had Been Robbed after Smoking Cannabis with Beach Vendors in Phuket

[webfact]

 

Phuket – Two Thai tourists who visited a famous beach in Phuket later admitted to police that they agreed to smoke cannabis given to them by beach vendors and then when they were intoxicated they suspected wrongly that they were robbed by the same vendors.

The story of the male and female Thai tourists who visited Freedom Beach went viral on social media. According to the story the two tourists met beach vendors and tried to smoke cannabis with them . The tourists were afraid that they may have been robbed by those same vendors after the female tourist became high and had to be taken to a local hospital due to paranoia.

 

Karon Police Chief Lieutenant Colonel Chana Sutthimart told the Phuket Express on Monday (June 19th) that the incident took place last week (June 16th) in the early afternoon. The two Thai tourists were both aged 21.

Real headline….

 

‘Outrageously ropey reporting… nothing really happened’  !!!

 

… we’re not allowed to use the CB word… but the original headline was so obviously flawed while the storey itself missed so many facts that I’d like to ask aseannow to consider a checking it’s news before republishing….. 

 

…this one was so obviously stuffed-sideways that most posters immediately recognised such ridiculousness.
