Puts the Phuket mafia to shame. Difference is here Bobbies intervened to do the right thing.

Not called rip of Britain for nothing.

As you say, well done the bobbies.

The rickshaw driver was a total moron... Good on those who intervened to assist the tourists. Its also good to see the Police doing their job without bias....

The rickshaw driver should also have received some form of charge... (I'm not sure what with though)...

It's high time many countries did much more to protect their tourist trade... namely by doing much more to protect tourists.
