Jimi007 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I was home this afternoon listening to music when my dog alerted me to some Thai guy I had never seen in my area on my land. He was carrying a large knife. I told him in Thai to go. My dog then started to attack him. He tried to cut my dog, but she kills cobras, so she is very quick. She nipped him in the legs and he disappeared. My neighbor's dog was slashed by what looked like a knife cut two weeks ago. I had a talk with all my neighbors and no one else saw him or knew anyone fitting my description. They think he was most likely a thief. This was on Soi Cokmakham in Rawai at 4:30 PM today. He was tall, dark skinned, no shirt, wearing shorts, so he thought he could fit in... He told me in Thai he wanted some banana leaves. There are plenty of banana trees all around, no reason to come to my house. I remember a few years ago a farang and his wife were slashed in their home right down the street. So, I just thought I'd post a warning. Better to be safe than sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooters Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Wow thats kind of scary. Hope you have some electronic security and a gun. I wonder how thai police would react if a farang shot dead a would be thief?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterMan Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 or how they would react if his dog seriously injured the guy? A woman was raped on Cokmakham also, and he had a knife, about 2 years ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercallen Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 PC takes the bait and the hook goes in deep. I do not think so, Rawai is a great place to live certainly in my opinion better than anywhere else on the island and a lot of people who can afford to live here agree with me I am not a basher of people and places on this island like some people are who continually post negatively about everything and everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So right since when did a police station stop crime in Phuket I have not heard of anyone having a crime committed against them in the 8 months we have lived here Every other area i have lived in has more criminals and crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katasyd Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I only hear of break ins around that area, muggings of tourists and rapes. Maybe the land prices are going up but that's only due to the Russian influence that has swarmed into that area, not sure if that's good or bad. Why is it when you look in the gazette, it's mainly filled with property in the Rawai and nai harn area? Many offering large reductions off the original asking price. Many are on those dusty dirt sois with no infrastructure. I know many defend their land purchase but anyone who thinks Rawai isn't the capital of crime in Phuket are delusional.
