After monitoring his activities for five months
ffs
Apparently reading the comments on the Daily Mail he had been at it for years,he was banned from most bars and nightclubs as everyone knew about it!
The Police wanted to keep it quiet after so much bad publicity about the island,I guess in the end they just couldn’t ignore it any more?
How stupid can one person be on his own it just beggars all belief?
There is no way he was doing this without the knowledge of the local mafia and/or the police on the island. Mainly because they are roughly the same people. A couple of families run Kho Tao. Everyone knows everyone's business in that place. Where do you think he was sourcing the product from? Quite clearly he put someone's nose out of joint and this is the result. Selling drugs as a farang in Thailand is never going to end well. Ask those Aussie lads that have were caught in a sting operation in Pattaya a few years ago. Messy, messy, messy.
Or there is no such thing as mafia families controlling everything (if that was the case there would be turf wars and far more violence) and he was just a dude selling drugs and the cops run the island and nicked him?
Sure. If you believe the Bangkok Post. The Surat Thani mafia control the islands in the Gulf. There are 2 main families on Kho Tao that run everything. Turf wars? I think you have been watching too much CNN. Apart from the odd assassination, Mr Bann from Bann's Divers for example, its all pretty quiet. Apart from the dead backpackers, obviously. He upset someone or wasn't sharing all of the profits. He had been there for a while. He understood the situation.
