Andrew Drummond reports online that over 160 tourists have been scammed by King Power over the past few months. Sales staff have called police after tourist have wandered out of their sales area in the kilometer-long gauntlet of duty-free shop in Cobra Swamp Airport. Despite King Power’s refuting the charges against two British citizens with a video of the supposed theft ( http://www.kingpower.com/2009/index.php#), the accused state unequivocally that they paid for the disputed item. Andrew Hammond’s articles on this matter seem to uphold their protestations as does the settlement of the problem outside the normal court process.
Sin bon of 100,000 baht to walk free without any charges.
Do not go to jail. Go home.
King Power’s way of saying Pai ke kii.
Which doesn’t translate well into English.
