most of these stings are carried out on persons who are newbees to thailand/pattaya . people who are not aware of these type of scams.

so into the forecourt comes a car which drives into the motorcycle only area ... they now know they have got their man , someone who is either a newbee

or not too clever and so they try their scam . if you drive into the forecourt and park in the proper area you have little chance of getting scammed . stop acting the idot .

i always go to tropical berts when in the area of second road/soi 6 berts english breakfast is alway of good quality

and the place is always clean and tidy and the staff friendly . what more could you want .

keeps me going for most of the day .

if in the soi yamoto / beach road area why not give the ritz a try it does not look much from outside but it does very good food

including a great breakfast .

well done to the pattaya tourist police , a first for these scammers to be arrested maybe now they will start to think .

pattaya police at soi 9 will now maybe start to do something also as they will not like to lose face in this matter .

i saw the faces of the scammers on pattaya one and these are one of the regular gangs involved in the scams.

i am very happy living here in pattaya and just hate seeing what these people are doing to the city .

flipper house soi7 nice hotel with recent refurbishment .

never heard of anyone having a problem there .

pool on the roof which is nice .

it is really sad to see tourists being treated this way . every day tourists are cheated out of large amounts off money . the police are very much powerless as it is a civil matter .

there may be something planned behind the scenes at city hall but there seems to be much confusion . there are foreigners making a lot of money by befriending the tourists who are having the

problem , some of these foreigners are even saying they are police and threatning to take passports and put the victims in jail . the poor tourist in order to avoid a beating from the jet ski mafia and

ending up in jail takes the advice of his new found friend and pays up . his new found friend has not made himself a nice little days wage unknown to the poor victim . i have seen this happen many many times.

i could almost write the script each time , the scammers have it off to a tee .

going nude in public is very much against the law here in thailand and will without doubt get you into a lot of trouble .

avoid going nude at all costs or you will get a spell in jail and a fine .
