yfs Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/03/23/asia/thai.php Choochart Suwannakom, commander of the national Tourist Police has an interesting perspective. Such comments and opinion wouldn't go over well in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 << He also said that some of the attacks were occasioned by the behavior of the women themselves. Under a front-page photograph of a Western woman in a skimpy bikini, The Bangkok Post quoted Choochart as saying, "They tend to choose a quiet spot away from other people, take off the bikini and sunbathe. That's when the attackers strike." >> Oddly enough this is the first time I recall reading of a Farang woman being raped and murdered whilst sunbathing topless. << A police officer described the suspect as a peeping Tom who "loves to bring friends to this remote and quiet beach to look at naked tourists." >> Why don't they just go to Club Med and ogle the topless gals all over the beach? No need to be shy about it either, since plenty of Thais do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torneyboy Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 The murders come as a wake-up call for the authorities, who seem to show no concern about the shortage of investment in the tourism industry or the political will to improve the safety of tourists," the newspaper said. Better late than never i guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
