Patong illegal jet-ski operators fined and set free

PHUKET: A task force of 300 law-enforcement officers under order by Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha specifically targeted and arrested 28 illegal jet-ski operators at Patong as part of an anti-crime campaign that has set its sights on criminal activities being “overlooked” by local officials.

Phuket Marine Chief Phuripat Theerakulpisut, whose office was left in the dark about the raid, this week was transferred out of Phuket, but the jet-ski operators will face only fines of B500 to B1,000, with only one operator facing a fine of B5,000.
