WTF - ‘Drugged’ Thai student rescued from clutches of Poi Pet

Post by dron »

"A 20-YEAR-OLD Thai student has been rescued from a group alleged to have lured her to gamble at a casino in the Cambodian border town of Poi Pet early this month before detaining her over a high-interest gambling debt.

"The Korean loan-shark gang released the victim after negotiating with officials at the Thai-Cambodia Border Coordination Office and Tambon Thap Sadet kamnan Plai Manpeun, who brought the woman back to Thailand at 1am yesterday. "

WTF not that this happened, nothing surprises me in Southeast Asia. But WTF there is absolutely no mention or arrest. Just that officials waited outside casino until negotiating with Korean gang for her release. Then..........? That's that?

So where's the gang now?

Seriously WTF

Far from remaining monarchical, hierarchy-ridden subjects on the margin of civilization, Americans had become, almost overnight, the most liberal, the most democratic, the most commercial minded, and the most modern people in the world." - Gordon S.

One more reason to avoid Poipet at all costs.
