PHUKET: Get-tough Phuket Police Commander Major General Pachara Boonyasit displayed the horrifying results of a week's crackdown on weapons on Phuket and warned that his campaign to rid the island of guns and knives would continue.
On display at Phuket's Saphan Hin public park in Phuket City today were 31 guns, with the seizures leading to 41 arrests, and 49 knives, over which 49 people were arrested between November 1 and November 7.
''We have to continue the crackdown on weapons because Phuket is a tourist destination,'' the commander said. ''There is no need for people to have guns and knives here.''
He added that in the week, 181 arrests had been made for drugs offences.
A number of sky lanterns, fireworks, copy sunglasses and other items were also on display.

This is real something. I like to congratulate General Pachara Boonyasit with this 1 week search result. Great!
General, go on with your good work in this field! You have full support of many Phuket citizens.
