Koh Phangan: Slovenians arrested at pier after doing a runner on their bills!

Naew Na reported that two Slovenian tourists proved no match for Surat Thani immigration after they tried to flee holiday island Koh Phangan. 

 

The tourists  - in their forties - had failed to pay for their stay and food at the Blue Hill Beach Resort in Haad Rin. 

 

Police were notified on January 16th and a warrant for their arrest was obtained. 

 

Pol Capt Therdsak Thawatworakun waited at the Thong Sala pier for the thieves to show up which they duly did yesterday afternoon.

 

Mrs Indira, 46, and Dejan O., 44, admitted everything.

Naew Na said that chief of Surat Thani immigration Pol Col Supharik Phankoson revealed that they were acting under orders from IB chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang to rid Thailand of illegal foreigners and that the public should call 1178 to report infractions. 

 

Thaivisa notes that such rhetoric - always in an identical and formulaic manner - appears on all such reports by Naew Na.

Thai's rip off tourist, over charge them. Tourists refuse to. Thai have local cops arrest them. Foreigners have to pay or go to hellish prison. What a democracy.

There is a reasons why most countries would never arrest someone for debt or an unpaid bill. It is not a criminal matter.

Apparently quite a bit of this happening on phangan right now. 

 

I have been receiving air bnb enquiries and all of a sudden people arent trying to negotiate price for a longer stay, but they want to incremental rents rather than out right. 

 

Usually eastern european.

No, its a criminal offence in Thailand to leave without paying for food, drink, accommodation .

These tourist  people did not get ripped off or overcharged , they were the ones doing the ripping off
