The meeting is the fourth this year since the innovative gatherings began in February. Foreign Ministry officials have shown particular interest in the novel approach to problem resolution on the island holiday destination.
The Phuket ''Parliament'' has so far proved to be a useful exchange of perspectives where the viewpoint of tourists and expat residents can be expressed. Reports of matters discussed are passed back to Bangkok.
The following list of expats charged with offences on Phuket so far this year has been collated by Phuket police stations. This is the first year that the reporting process has been transparent, so it's possible that some cases may not be listed.
The laying of a charge does not suggest that the accused is or will be found guilty. It is hoped that at some time in the future, as the reporting process by police becomes more complete, results of cases may also be published.
Phuket police say a total of 149 expats have been charged with various offences so far in 2010. Another 28 expats have been reported as victims of alleged crimes.
Although there have been notable murders and manslaughter cases involving expats as both accused and victims on Phuket this year, the majority of crimes are not crimes of violence.
