Phuket, why I never go back

[stevenl]

The guy got rolled up in his hotel room while on a dive trip...DUH.

First of all, it does not say anywhere he was on a divetrip.

IMO, the main thing with the story of the op is that there are too many holes and unexplained claims in it. I therefor do not believe his story, there is more to it for sure.

It's also interesting that everyone posting from Thailand wants the post censored.

The only person asking for this post to be removed is from Koh Tao.
That doesn't really count for us Phuketanians....

.... its ok to talk bad about other places..

This post got imo nothing to do with "talking bad".
It's just a weird and not complete story about a guy getting in some trouble in his hotel room while on vacation in Phuket.

That's one spot I'm taking off my list. You got a legitmate beef.!

Promocop,

Not everything that's posted on this forum is true.
Not all news that's written in the media or shown on tv is true.
Not everyone in the world hates americans.

What exactly are you saying here? That the OP and media is lying? Based on what? Your unbiased view on asia?

Well, at least this thread is good for cheap entertainment.

I agree that this thread is good for the entertainment value, if nothing else. Can I summarize so far: a diver with just a few posts and really poor English tells a story of getting robbed in Phuket. Replies include a few saying "Awwwww", many saying "BS", "and….?" or "delete!", most asking "where's the fish?", several saying "the fish are in the nearby sea", and at least one person, saying he won't go to any city that has ever had a crime committed in it.

I think Kupu is closest to common sense with the first sentence of his comment.

Peace. Out!

What media? All I see is a very confusing story.

Tiger....man....,
Chill out!
You have a nice way of taking things out of context.

My reply was for "American eyes only".

Thanks for getting back here.

I still find what happened to you very confusing. Would you mind describing it point for point?
