Phuket Premier Vows Mafia Crackdown After Kamala Beach Club Death
1- Indian tourist dies after collapsing at popular Kamala Beach club
Phuket officials on Monday, May 11, reported two separate developments dominating the island’s latest headlines: a Phuket mafia crackdown pledge from Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and the death of an Indian tourist after collapsing at a beach club on Kamala Beach. Both cases were featured in the May 11 edition of Phuket Xtra hosted by JP Mestanza.
Kamala collapse and broader enforcement push
The beach club death involved an Indian national who collapsed at a popular Kamala venue, according to The Phuket News report cited in the program.
The same roundup also highlighted police clarification over a viral brawl, with officers saying only Russians were involved.
Anutin’s vow targeted what the report described as “Phuket mafia,” placing pressure on authorities to act against entrenched illegal influence networks.
A related report linked from the roundup showed the issue had already drawn a political response, with a Phuket MP challenging the prime minister’s anti-mafia pledge.
Other incidents in the same May 11 news bulletin underlined a wide enforcement and safety agenda across the island. They included a student being hailed for saving a tourist with CPR, officials warning of both water shortages and floods, and a speedboat being gutted by fire in Ao Makham.
