Thai PBS reported that Natural Resources and Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-Archa demanded action and was pleased when he got it after information from environmentalists and locals led to the capture of the two foreigners.
Koh Thao mafia murders dozens of foreigners - peasant migrant workers get scapegoated and nothing happens to the mafia.
Westerners going about their life: All kinds of things get construed against them to extort money or to get rid of competition.
Then there are also crazy vengeful women who use the law full of ambiguities and grey areas that normally nobody cares about against foreigners to get them imprisoned, expropriated or kicked out of the country if they don't have a gangster boyfriend at hand to murder the foreigner (the murder will never get investigated).
Even if you just spend money and go about your day you aren't safe from the jealousy, greed and hatred of thais against foreigners...
Things are going to get way more dystopian than the west very soon given that their economy is wrecked and foreigners are under watchful eyes 24/7 with ever more anti foreign laws being put into place.
It's probably a scapegoating attempt by the elite to distract attention from them as they buy up all assets for cheap when people go bankrupt.
