• No pointing? I'm disappointed.

I am completely confused as to why they are not making more arrests for foreign guides. I own a boat tour business and some days I feel like I'm the only operator doing the right thing employing locals. No issue for me, our guides are excellent, but constantly amazed at the brazen disregard for the laws.

Myanmar and unknown nationality.

 

I doubt they'll be arresting the hundreds of Chinese guides now operating on the island. 

Luckily they circled the suspects in the photo otherwise I would have thought the suspects were the smiling fellows

 

Some good beer-belly action there.

Tour guides from Myanmar?

Meanwhile in the real world! Drugs, murder, corruption, road deaths. No change.
