There is so much to like about this story. http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-new ... bill/61960
Although it relates to gaikoku, it does show the risks you can face if you, for example, choose to sneak out of the country without settling an account, like perhaps a tax obligation.
It shows repeated stupidity (or at least brazen risktaking, but are they so very different things?) by the perpetrators. Is it just me, or does 47,500 Yen for a meal for two seem a bit steep in Phuket?
And one of the detectives has a fantastic t-shirt.
