Worrying that so many weapons are in circulation. No doubt this collection is a small representation of what actually exists on the Island ? Posted by reader on March 4, 2015 14:03 
Like usual, Phuketwan is transparent. Kudos to this news outlet. Forewarned is forearmed. Posted by farang888 on March 4, 2015 23:26 |

Wow... at least some of the police have been doing something worthwhile. My only suggestion would be to take the guys off the "fake watches and underwear" task force and shift them over to the weapons task force. Maybe they could even just inspect each one of the illegally parked tuktuks along the beach road in Patong, that would certainly yield some illegal weapons.
