Phi Phi Police ‘Beat Up Tourists,’ says Phuket Expat
I read a story on another Thailand blog from an expat who says he witnessed a brutal police bashing on the party island of Koh Phi Phi. He is keen to get in touch with the people who got bashed as they were taken away by the police never to be seen or heard from again.
You can read the report here and its coverage on a Phuket website here.
Phi Phi does have a pretty lively party scene with lots of annoying farangs working as bar touts (especially that guy who stands on the corner asking you if you know where you are going). I wish the police would check their work permits rather than bashing people.
Did you hear anything about this incident? Even been on the end of some rough justice Thai-style?
