![]() ![]() Between Thais and foreigners crime is NOT an equal opportunity undertaking. Mehdis brother Hicham (Tewfik Jallab) gives him shelter after hes released from jail and continues to 'protect his brother' through thick and thin. The aspects of brotherhood and friendship are well explored. Overall Paradise Beach is a fun flick - but it gives a distorted picture of crime in Thailand. The pristine beaches, the bright and cheery landscape of Thailand, and the neon-lit nightlife of Patong are quite a visual treat. The original 1991 filmwhich was remade in 2015stars Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah. The way the police colonel ended the movie is pretty close to reality. If you like your beach movies to be action-packed, then Point Break certainly delivers. But it ain’t a good place for foreigners to delve into criminal behavior.

So many Brits and Europeans bring money, find love, then lose it all in Thailand. This is OK if you are so lucky as to have an enduring marriage with a Thai lady, but if you split you will lose. Thai law does not support foreign ownership of property, or much else. The idea that foreigners going there with money who marry and stay end up with all assets in their wife’s name is spot on. The good news is that Thai Police are very effective, and any bad guys (foreigners) walk a tight line or get out. Phuket is higher class, costlier, and less full of rugged gang looking foreigners. Way back in the 80’s Pattaya became so infested with Russian criminal types that I quit visiting there, although members of my family have a restaurant in that place. The tourist infected beach cities, Pattaya in particular (the city in the story is Phuket) are crowded with drunk tourists and all that goes with that.
