Old Croc Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 This is an on-going mafia-thug dispute. They have claimed this isolated little beach as their own and have brandished guns at would be visitors previously. The fact they are still there indicates high level support of some kind. https://thethaiger.com/news/phuket/Guns-seized-staff-test-positive-drugs-Phuket-beach-mafia-thug-raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelepulse Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Whoever decided to park where they did and keep their cam going was at least thinking a little bit. I wonder which of the thugs has more than a room temp iq to think about rolling the camera while the activities took place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker1 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Always amazes me when I read "Police will seek arrest warrants tomorrow" Do police need to go someplace and apply for a warrant to arrest a person committing a crime ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In New Zealand, if a crime is being committed a policeman is present he / she will arrest the offender immediately, who will probably appear in court within 2 or 3 days.

They have to make sure first they don't arrest someone who is 'protected'. Phuket is full of mafia and dark influences. Thailand's insane property laws encourage violence against Thai and farang. How much development in Phuket is actually legal especially on beach front land & mountains that are considered sacred grounds . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
