Koh Phangan cop accused of assault, drug extortion against tourists

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Ain't that the truth. While I quit the "funland" activities 4-5 years ago, the decline in fun has been even more steep.

Back on topic: Thai police extortion of tourists.
Unfortunately, Thai police have still not managed to locate the policeman involved in the OP drug extortion racket... despite having his name, rank, address and phone number.
More than three weeks after a Russian couple filed a report they were assaulted, robbed and held against their will on Koh Phangan by a group of men, including a policeman, the rogue cop is still on the run.

Pol Snr Sgt Maj Suriyan Ranjuan, 50, of Koh Phangan police station, is accused of commuting similar offenses in the past and faces losing his job with the RTP if found guilty.

Anthon Lobanov, 36, and his wife, Ekaterina Lobanova, 35, filed a report with police on Wednesday 1st March with Koh Samui provincial court issuing warrants for the arrest of five men suspecting of being involved in the shakedown the same day...

Now according to what i read, it's just a place to live cos it's cheaper, but apparently a bit boring....Unless wot i read was tripe, that is....

:popcorn:
been to the dark side a few times over the past year,
first bar we went to there was 4-5 blokes getting noshed off in full view
tbh most bars we went in a girl would get my cock out and would try sicking it in her mouth for a drink, fair trade tbh lol
its a nice change of scenery from the more hectic beach side

a similar story happened to a friend of mine about 4 years ago on khao san road, some young australian guy offered my mate some weed, as soon as it changed hands the cops were already there and was a set up, think they took my mates laptop and some money as "payment"
