Once again, Koh Tao -- Thailand's top tourist destination in Surat Thani -- has attracted global attention, albeit not in the way Thai authorities would have hoped for.
This time it is over an alleged rape case involving a young British woman who travelled to the island in late June. The 19-year-old tourist complained she was drugged, raped and robbed, and accused local police of refusing to investigate the case.
Her complaint was picked up this month by the UK press, including The Sun and Daily Mail.
