A major Australian newspaper has led with a story in their travel section.  The story is based on the deaths of several tourist who all stayed at the same hotel in Chiang Mai, however, the father of one of the deceased has now started a website which is aimed at exposing the risks, dangers, scams, rip offs, extortion etc etc in Thailand.  

I have viewed the website have have not joined, as yet.  I was interested in how many "hits" the website has had since it appeared in the news article but he has not put a "counter" on it.

The story can be viewed here:

The father is obviously, and understandably, still very angry.  As we are coming into the high season for Australian and New Zealand tourists to Thailand (southern hemisphere winter) this could be damaging to tourism on Phuket.  

To the mods - I know the news article is based on incidents that occured in Chiang Mai, however, most Aussie and Kiwi tourists come to Phuket for their holiday.  Also, I am unsure if I am allowed to post the newspaper link, so, feel free to edit/move my post and/or topic.
