Phuket,, After yesterday (22 Mar.), the Thai news agency revealed the problem of foreigners hiding in the form of tourists. to come into business Using Thai people as nominees Since opening a car rental service shop Drive a taxi yourself to illegally opening a marijuana shop Using Thai people as a front Today we continue with the problems of foreigners in Phuket. towards the social dimension Recently, it has been found that these foreigners are often not afraid of Thai laws.

This is footage of Patong police officers trying to apprehend a French tourist who was breaking traffic laws. But it was not only the perpetrators who resisted arrest. A group of French friends who were at the scene also cheered and cheered the police officers while they were doing their job. There is no fear of government officials and Thai laws at all.

In the past, French tourists are often the group that is known to gather together and cause the most chaos. Especially racing a motorcycle recklessly and adventurously. Honking the hor
n loudly through the streets Creating fear among both locals and tourists. Similar to the problem of foreigners getting drunk and causing quarrels. which local entrepreneurs say that currently there is a significant increase It is believed that part of this may be due to the abundance of marijuana shops and easier access.

The most obvious problem is violation of traffic laws. both driving fast Driving in reverse, driving in a prohibited direction Along the tunnel It was found that Thai people often commit crimes similar to the recent incident where two New Zealand brothers were driving so fast that they were chased and stopped by Chalong Police Station. But instead he fought with a neck lock. Ready to snatch a gun from the police When at odds he still bargains and asks to bribe officials. In exchange for release, this is an example that clearly reflects that foreigners do not fear Thai law.

But I think Thai law can be cleared up. It is considered that the purchase has ended. Especially in some cases where g
overnment officials are involved. It makes foreigners feel more complacent. and no more fear of the law From the perspective of Phuket tourism operators I think the government’s visa-free policy is part of the root of the problem right now. Because it gives tourists quality or even some criminal groups Seize this opportunity to come and seek benefits. both competing for Thai people’s careers and create chaos in many forms

This information is from the Phuket Provincial Police Division. It is stated that from October 2023 to the present, in just 5 months, there have been 400 cases of foreigners in Phuket who have broken the law being prosecuted. Their visas have been revoked for 95 people, including Chinese, Russians, Indians, Australians, British and Myanmar, both on charges. Attempting to kill another person, fighting and obstructing an officer, stealing, possessing drugs. and illegal entry into work

However, these numbers may only be a small fraction. Compared to the actual problems right now which can be
seen daily And if the state still ignores Do not rush to take corrective action seriously. In the future, Phuket may inevitably face a fate worse than it is now.
