samui warning

AUSTRALIAN officials in Thailand have warned travellers to be on their guard after the murder of a British woman and the abduction of a Brazilian tourist.
The warning follows the slaying of 21-year-old Briton Katherine Horton, whose body was found floating off the popular resort island of Koh Samui.
Thai police are also searching for a 25-year-old Brazilian woman, Talipa Rosini, who disappeared in the southern province of Surat Thani, near the island of Koh Phangan.
Ms Rosini, a fashion model, was allegedly approached by two men who took her away in a truck.

Police believe she may still be alive.

An Australian official said the incidents highlighted the need for foreign travellers to be on their guard.

And the use of common sense, which most people seem to leave at home when going on holiday.

Makes you wonder about our Dept of FA
