Boo Radley Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 'I managed to stagger up to a foreigner whom I begged for help and people came to staunch the flow of blood. ...The unnamed Briton, who runs the dive shop, has posted on an expat forum in Thailand. He said: 'In Ao Nang. I fear that another tourist death is imminent. Gangs of teenage kids, armed with knifes and machetes roam the roads like something out of a Hollywood horror movie. WTF is wrong with this place!' The dive shop owner who witnessed the incident and posted up on the Thaivisa forum about it a few days ago said that the attack took place at 10:50pm on 22/10/12.

Guest lazyphil Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 not saying this isn't credible what the dive operator said but i just didn't feel there is an edge or bad feeling in ao nang whatsoever when recently there, locals seem friendly and relaxed and no sign of thugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Radley Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Hi Phil, The dive operator also said he's also aware of several other unprovoked attacks in the area in the last 6 months although I haven't been there to judge it myself. There was also an attack on a Russian lady who was robbed and slashed in the arms in Pattaya recently by two teenagers on a moped. Not sure if these attacks are happening more, or just being reported more. http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/64321/russian-injured-armed-street-robbery-jomtien/ http://www.thairath.co.th/content/region/301785 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lazyphil Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 the huge volume of tourists that pass through thailand unscathed is out standing considoring the huge wealth devide between tourists and thais. thais show an incredible level of tolerance to arrogant fuckwits who tour los....not saying these unfortunate people fit my description just generaly speaking.

Horneytorney Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 yeah i would agree that UK is far more dangerous than India, maybe with the exception of Kashmir or the Tajs and Oberois when there is some terrorist attack also Thailand remains a rather safe place despite some rare incidents except you get into some business conflicts or you behave like a idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Top 10 Violent Vacations ... what figures exist do not lend themselves to an easy top 10 list for a variety of reasons, including governments cooking the books and victims choosing not to report crimes. Nonetheless, we’ve assembled such a top 10 using statistics provided by NationMaster.com and the United Nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
