For a country which is dependent on Tourism for its source of income, Thailand is found lacking in providing safety for its tourists.
A British tourist was stabbed by a gang of youths as he tried to save his girlfriend from a pack sex attack while on holiday in Thailand.
The Daily Mail reports that Jack Cole and April Clifton, both 21 from Bath, went for a romantic stroll towards a boat pier in idyllic Ao Nang, southern Thailand, when a motorcycle gang pounced from the shadows nearby.
April was grabbed by the laughing thugs, who clawed at her clothes, before Jack jumped to her defence.
The armed gang turned on him, stabbing his face and body before they fled, leaving Jack to die in a pool of blood.
Luckily a passing British tourist heard his cries for help and called paramedics.
In another incident, a Canadian and an Australian tourist have been found dead in a Bangkok hotel after a suspected drug overdose, Thai tourist police said yesterday. A maid found the bodies of the two men, who are believed to be aged 31 and 27-years-old respectively, slumped in a room in the Park Plaza, a hotel in one of main the tourist drags of the Thai capital late Thursday. Their bodies were found alongside an unknown white powder and drug taking paraphernalia.
