Pol Maj Gen Angkoon Klaiklueng, commander of Tourist Police Division 3, said the search for Tomasz Andrzej Sliwinski started at 5.30pm after the tourist police on the island were alerted that he had become lost on the mountain between Haad Rin beach and Haad Yuan beach in Moo 6 village in Tambon Ban Tai. The tourist police sought help from local troops, district officials, the tambon chief, village headman, and park officials to assemble search teams to look for him. The tourist was located at 9pm and led to the tourist police booth on Haad Rin beach. The authorities then contacted the Than Sadet Hotel in Moo 5 village of Tambon Ban Tai to collect him.

I think the only island you know is....may be Phuket? Listen sport - I spent a year in the Solomon islands - over 1000 islands! - in a peace-keeping job. Many of them uninhabited and un-mapped.. Prior to that I grew up in the bush in Australia. A place like Phangan is a joke. A couple of ignorant, uneducated tourists get "lost" and a whole lot of people think it's a bit of a problem Then you come along and make a silly statement about me and Phuket? And Yes. I live on Samui and I've been on and around Phangan once or twice - - - - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
