most places with back packers and younger tourists do full moon and half moon, black moon parties, but you are correct Koh Phangan is famous for their full moon parties, and Koh Tao for their horrible deaths and horror conspiration being the death island with many bizarre murders and suicides.

So I guess some Russian Tourist Police brown noser acted as the "undercover" officer.

 

 

Friend from Phuket told me that there are a lot of farangs who more than happy to snitch on their countrymen. Not only Russians though, I knew a dutchman reporting "undercover" in Pattaya, few middle aged eastern european b**ches at Cha Am, american a**hole at Rayong and brits at Bangkok - mostly on illegal teachers.

why do they do it? Maybe some protection for their not-so-legal activities or just for the thrill of it? IDK

Surat Thani-On July 10th, the Koh Pha Ngan Tourist Police apprehended a suspect identified only as Mr. Denis, a 42-year-old Russian national, at a house in the Baan Tai sub-district of Koh Pha Ngan district. Mr. Denis had overstayed his visa by a staggering 175 days. During the arrest, five motorbikes were seized from him.

The police investigation began after receiving complaints about a foreigner advertising motorbike rental services on Telegram under the name “Bike Phangan Samui RENT SALE.”

 

In a sting operation, the police rented a motorbike from Mr. Denis for 2,800 baht per week.

Odd how so many posters seem to think that every Russian man in Russia would be "sent to war".

Safe to assume one of the locals was upset that he/she could not compete with a guy renting 5 bikes. So pathetic , though no idea why he let his visa run out if he had a spare million 

He didn't have a million, it would have been his friend's according to the article.

Alas, there seem to be quite a few on these boards that simply can't live and let live. It amuses me to hear those very same posters disparage what they perceive as entitlement and condemn what they call Karens when they are little better.

is a horrible <deleted> demographic

Denis admitted that he had never renewed his visa since arivingving in Thailand

 

I wonder why?  He had money to try bribe the police, butt not to extend his visa.

Wow, a million baht doesn't go as far as it used to. Seems like a generous offer to me 😉

Apart from the Witheridge and Miller murders, what are the "many bizarre murders" to which you refer?  Are there, in fact, any, that have been confirmed as murders, that fall into your "bizarre" category?

Why are you so supportive of the criminal b**ches and a**hole element that you object so vehemently to their being exposed?

For Christ's sake, you specifically posted that Koh Tao is "the death island with many bizarre murders", you did not post that Koh Tao is "the death island with many "conspiratorial deaths"!

I'm not "bitching" about anything, I was commenting on your post that falsely alleged other "bizarre murders";  you're the one who seems to be bitching about the response that your ill-defined comment received.

What an interesting interpretation of a translated report that obviously refers to weekly rates, discounted for a two-week rental.

So dive in and see for your self.

Should have faked accepting the bribe and had his friend bring the 1 million.  Could have put the cuffs on both of them.

I don't need to view that, there are no other confirmed "bizarre murders" as you claimed.

I always try to commit only one crime at a time. So far, so good.

So what now? 1 million in bribe not good enough now? i have heard about cost of living going up but this is 

breaking all the bribing rules.. secondly, anyone dumb enough to overstay that long and work illegally

like in your face guys, deserves what he gets...

A Thai official refusing 1 million Baht bribe is newsworthy. If I was presented with such a bribe my integrity would be sorely challenged and would probably come off second best.

Seems like the Russians are taking the "Bad Boys" mantle from the Brits.

 

Think the Brits have been engrossed in the footie - "It's coming home!" 😂

 

(If they get beaten by Spain - AN will no doubt have a few headlines about "Brits on the rampage"!
