Tourist couple brutally beaten by Thai teenage thugs in Phuket.

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.

Tourist couple brutally beaten by Thai teenage thugs in Phuket.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Police arrested all four suspects within 24 hours.

PHUKET: Phuket police yesterday evening apprehended four teenagers who brutally attacked and robbed two Polish tourists at Karon viewpoint on Thursday night.

Karon Police arrived at the scene of the crime to find Trochim Leszek, 32, and Rapeepun Choutkun, 24, injured and scared.

The victims told police that four young boys came up behind them while they were walking. One of them smashed a glass bottle over Mr Trochim’s head, and then to his knee, causing him to collapse to the ground. Ms Rapeepun was also slammed to the ground and injured.

The teenagers then made off with her purse containing, according to her police report, 2,700 baht, 20 Euros, a bank account book, an ATM card and a mobile phone. The thugs then fled on two motorcycles.

Police checked CCTV footage in the area to get further information and were able to arrest all four suspects within 24 hours.

This was a nasty crime - and due credit to the police, of course - but one of the two names is 100% un-Polish.

Ooops. Made the mistake of going to Thailand, the Land of De-evolution. Intelligent tourists go elsewhere. Better luck next time.

What exactly happened to you in Thailand Sigmoid that has resulted in your total bitterness towards all things Thai, did you get taken to the cleaners by a bargirl or something ? You've previously mentioned having a self imposed ban on buying any Thai products which seems a bit extreme bordering on the obsessed.

I had a lot of good times in Thailand, but then discovered that it's a really dumb country and left. That's all.

It's just a shame that it used to be a really cool place 20 years ago. Boo hoo :D

It could happen anywhere else, but it DOES happen in Thailand repeatedly. None of the neighboring countries receive the huge amount of perennial bad press that Thailand does.
32 million +tourists
Everyone knows that the tourists numbers announced by the TAT are grossly exaggerated.
