Still on a high from the pat on the back from one of the bosses they thought it appropriate to bust a few Burmese heads. I know what my dogs are doing at night, they are at home. If there is a need to go out, they are kept on a short leash. Something the BIB should practice.

Good! I like the development in Phuket now. They are really going after some of these thugs and criminals. I hope they continue to clean the streets.

Are you aware they just let 233 criminals out of gaol, in a mass pardon?

Lock a couple of dozen up, but let a couple of hundred out. I can't see how this "cleans the streets" of Phuket.
