"Why are posters on here are reject living in the West?" Unaffordable, cold, broken family value system, no women, bland food, can't compete with immigrants, etc. ?
Correct. Mom & dad could be funding this married man with a 7yr old child to go on a holiday to Thailand, leaving his wife & kid behind in Essex in January.
Normaly we dont read about "shot near left leg" "shot near right underarm" etc, so "shot near penis"...sure to grab attention from a lot of readers, including me. 😄
"The incident has sparked public outrage, with growing calls for stricter enforcement against foreign criminal networks operating in Pattaya"
There should be no discrimination based on nationality. Whether these criminals are foreigners or Thai, they should all be caught and punished.
The first car I purchased was a Toyota Soluna in Bangkok in 1996. Followed by Toyota Vios 8yrs later. And then a Toyota Altis and now a Toyota Camry. In 2026 I plan to buy a Toyota Lexus, the last car before I say my final goodbye.
"Upon inspection, police secured the scene with a cordon and noted scrape marks on a large tree near the third-floor rooftop of the resort, suggesting the victim may have fallen from the roof at sometime before getting stuck in the pipe."
Unless it was an open sewer he fell into, how can an adult man fall/jump from the 3rd floor and get stuck in a drainage pipe? More likely to have been murdered and shoved into the drainage pipe. Sad end to someone's life on a day when everyone would have been celebrating a holiday.
What a horrible thing to attack an 80 year old man. They were 6 of them and could have easily just taken his money and vanished. What was the need to beat him up so savagely? I hope all of them are caught, shamed in public and then jailed for a very long time. 😠
There are 6 security guards (3 each on day & night shift, rotating once a month) and 8 cleaners who work 6am to 4pm. I give them 1000 Baht each for New Year and 500 Baht for Songkran, put in one of those colourful Chinese envelopes.
