worgeordie Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 A crackdown,targeting 5 suspects,I think there are a lot more influential figures on Samui than that,but better not aim too high. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgordo38 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Looking carefully at the picture if their intent was to clean up Koh Samui's image the least they could have done is clean up the litter in the picture before taking the picture. One seems to cancel the other out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi49jr Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Heard this so many times before, it's all about image, and nothing else. Apparently the authorities care more about "image" than about actually fighting crime and protecting their citizens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Businesses and people up to good. The police here fit both categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroud Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Good news, I hope they continue with the clean up and actually do something about the mess. Koh Samui has been really hurt by low tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
