It looks like the hotel and restaurant business is not as good as many hoped in Phuket. In the aftermath of the Tsunami many farang have tried and even got away with robbing banks in and around Phuket. Just yesterday a farang robbed a bank in Karon, Phuket, Thailand and got away with 420 000 THB in cash. The police believes that the rise of the number of foreigners robbing banks in Thailand is because the business is very slow and they lost a lot of money in the Tsunami. The Phuket Police have searched all the motorbike rental and guesthouse without finding the robber making them believe he was a local.

Jay Keffer 42 years of age and from Canada lost his life when a Thai man tried to rob his friends and family in a Christmas Party. This tragic even took place in City Smart Condominium. The Thai robber start shooting after Bruneian women also a guest had hit him with a hand bag. Two other Canadians were also hit by bullets but they were only injured.

The Police think that the robber got tipped off from someone inside the house that there was a western party going on and that they had money.
Robberies in Thailand are very unusual and especially robbing parties. But if you happen to get robbed in Thailand do not try to resist (even if I have done it) the Thai criminals have the IQ of a 7 year old and have no regrets if they take a life. They simple do not understand how stupid it is to shoot someone for so little money.
