Phuket –
Phuket’s commitment to fair law enforcement was on full display on the afternoon of June 4, 2025, as social media buzzed with images of several luxury supercars parked illegally in front of a well-known restaurant in downtown Phuket.
The vehicles, believed to belong to foreign tourists renting them, were parked in a restricted area marked with red and white curb lines, prompting widespread discussion among local residents and online communities.
The images were swiftly shared across various local groups, including police communication channels, urging authorities to intervene. In response, the Phuket City Police Station, instructed the city’s traffic police officers to inspect the scene without delay.
