Default Warning Phuket Patong

We were sat on the beach today and witness what we can only describe as a diabolical liberty being taken by the owners of a jet ski outfit on the beach
The name is In For Motion and is opposite Gracelands hotel.
A nice Aussie family next to us rented jet ski and they also went para sailing etc when returning wiith the jet skis the owner came up to them and said that there was damage to the jet ski they had done nothing to them in fact the guys that worked for this out fit had been riding them up the beach earlier and driving them really hard.
He made really disparaging remarks aboout the aussies and was very abusive the family went to leave and he grabbed the "Dad".
It was a real performance and the reason that some are turning their back on Thailand.
an english expat who was sat next to us said the guy is well known for being a nutter.
Be warned do not use this outfit. This must have spoiled was was a good day for this family and maybe the holiday. Fair play to him he did not retaliate back I don't know if I would have been able to keep control when I said something i was told to but out.
By the way the owners english became very good when needed.
oh and another thing the tuk tuk mafia are out in force ......200bhat they wanted for a 300 yrd journey.........I walked and spent the 200baht on beer.
Phuket get rid of these elements or you will drive people away.
Hot by the way
