Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright

Just another one of Phuket's "misunderstandings."

I'm disappointed to see a tuk-tuk wasn't burnt out.

Good job the Thai military is in control here.

Were there any serious injuries, or fatalities, left in the aftermath of that destruction?

[FBlue72 108]

^ 14 police officers were injured, some with nasty head gashes. No reports of bystanders or rioters injured

( Thank you mod for removing that bigoted post )

Good pics. Nice to know that mob mentality is alive and well.

The anger by 500+ odd people only exemplifies the true problem: society is tired of such endemic corruption within the RTP.

Post riot pics would have been more appropriate in the title

It's interesting to note that the Thai military, when they so choose, can actually work to defuse tense situations without shooting everyone in sight.

It looks to me like they were getting on the bad side of one group of criminals. Either that or both were run by criminals so it is like inter-mob violence. It is a clear through-out job and obviously a message was sent.

In my observations over recent years Thailand has slowly but progressively shown a rising degree of lawlessness. It will be interesting to watch where this trend takes the country. It is not just the Thais themselves but imported drunken buffoons, drug pushers, and assorted crims and con artists are not helping. But the buck stops with the police, courts and the military government itself. Most of the people in those authorities seem to be self-serving and really don't care so long as their personal pockets keep getting topped up and their comforts looked after.
