Big Trouble in Thailand


Last Night on Bravo TV the second part of a very controversial TV series aired.

"Big Trouble in Thailand" is a series about the crime that occurs in the resorts of Thailand, looking at it through the eyes of the Volunteer Foreign Police Force. This group of do gooders are seen at all the busy Thai resorts. They are there to help foreigners in dealins with the law and sometimes get in on the act when arrests are made. In all fairness some of the people seemed to be very helpful and sorted many problems out.

Last night it followed a teenage english girl caught with some weed, drugs in Thailand "A BIG NO NO" She was caught with her boyfriends stash and spent a night in prison and was lucky to get away with a suspended sentence. She deserved all she got, you don't do drugs in Thailand!!!

Last week there was a controversial scene on Patong beach on Phucket, an english marine rented a jet ski. The scam is that the jet ski is on its last legs, a mark borrows it, it breaks down and they have to pay mega bucks to get it repaired or the law gets involved. Unfortunately the law is involved with the actual scam. The marine was having none of it, then the Thai renter pulls a gun and makes the guy pay up. All this was filmed and aired last week.

The local police commander is furios, not with the scammer!!!! He is seriously pissed at the makers of the program and as vowed to arrest any Thai person involved with the program. Talk about ignoring an issue and blame the foreigners, this takes the biscuit.

The next show is on Bravo next monday night at 10pm.
