Fatbastard Posted January 5, 2002 Report Share Posted January 5, 2002 Phuket has becaome more violent over the last few years because the girls move down there from the country and their Thai Boy friends follow on when they see how much money the girls are making. So these guys have no Job and a bit of money, they amuse themselves by getting pissed during the day and then get into strife when their girls are at work.

Phuket is just a small place in terms of population. I doubt if 20 people a year drown in all of California which has 500 miles of coastline with cold, rough surf. These statistics are ridiculous, which is not to say that they may not be official government statistics. I have been to Phuket three times. How come I have a girl every night, go swimming every day, go scuba diving, never have a problem with a Thai person, never hear of anybody drowning? I definitely hear of people dying in traffic accidents. Zane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consular Information Sheet: Strong seasonal undercurrents at popular beach resorts sometimes pose a fatal threat to surfers and swimmers. During the monsoon season, which is from May through October, drowning is the leading cause of death for tourists visiting Phuket. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
