A couple of weeks ago my friend was robbed at knife point (12" machete) by two Thai thugs on a bike. He reported it to the police, but it never made the news.

Do you want his phone number? The Gazette wasn't interested.

This is bad news & shows a trend heading in the wrong direction in terms of bad publicity for Phuket. Armed robbery in broad daylight for what is indeed a pittance.

3-4 times a week I go with my MTB around Nai Harn lake and the surround roads. Around 5-6 pm sometimes come gnags of young boys driving motorbike at crazy speed with modufy engine. No helmets, 2-3 for motorbikes. Seats, talking, smoking- Never see in 5 years one policeman stop them and check what are they doing, what they smoke, why dont wear helment, why go so fast eith motorbike close to the people use bicycle and jogging. Instaed every days at the intersection with soy Saiyuan, at 9 am when tourists coming form Kata go to the beach, Police makes a check point and fine everybodies without helmets and driving license: 90% farangs. Good job!!

I thought cameras were set up around the lake after previous problems I know not exactly the lake but the bike would have had to have passed there
