    ineffective police who tried ten times to shoot out the tires; one armed officer boarded the stationery vehicle but retreated after the mental driver brandished a knife.

    The owner phones the cop shop; the cop shop phones the tourist police; they view the video; the thieves are sauntering along further up the road. Elementary my dear Watson.

    It amazes me that none of the relevant 'authorities' EVER notice danger until there's an outcry, usually after a death or two! Is it staffed by blind officials? Is the road ever used by police?

    Except the big bosses.

    Within EIGHT hours of the crime! Not what we've come to expect of Pattaya PLOD! Was she a VIP?

    It is not an urban myth that Thai builders excavated a hole deep enough to accommodate a Western toilet to bring it 'flush' with the floor.

    I am astounded by some of the above comments when, to me, the surprising thing about this story is that there was only ONE attacker. Are Thai males getting braver or was he full of Dutch Courage?

    It begs the question of why the operation is being attempted at this time of year!
  9. mikebell
    I wish I'd thought of that.

    Ask yourself why this wealthy business man in an illegal mansion is found not guilty by a Thai court.

    En route to Bali. Pattaya mayor gets a fruit basket every year from his counterpart in Bali.

    I have written a book of short stories set in Pattaya (which sell in US/UK/Aus/India/Canada.) I have converted six into TV scripts. I have written to three agents in Thailand. I have received no replies.

    If you buy a Spanish villa will you allow visitors from Thailand to visit you? I'm taking my TGF there in 2025.

    Near me there is a 7-11 which has an ample carpark. It is situated at a busy T-junction. Then the vendors come and erect stalls (presumably paying rent to 7-11 owner.) It is now impossible to view traffic coming from the right; it is also a favourite spot for Election posters contributing to the risk hazard. I do not whether this activity is down to Greed or Stupidity.

    After the blood test comes the bank test before any fine is calculated.

    'This programme is part of a broader initiative by the Bang Lamung district to invest in' forming a police force.

    The video clearly shows the culprit and his car. The BIB can easily trace him; but will they?

    I was only concerned about your welfare approaching an obviously disturbed, armed individual in such a heroic manner. Of course I speak some Thai tho' I would not feel confident enough in this situation. After 20 years here, much of it with a Thai wife, I feel entitled to have an opinion, it is a forum after all. I did not have all the facts when fearing for your safety as I was unaware of your fluency in Thai.

    Does the gunman speak English? He may mistake your approach as a threat?

    Mine makes it three. Any money left over from last year's budget after the council's skim, would be better spent on roads/flooding/police.

    A step in the right direction; now if you could just teach the locals to use them we might see some improvement in the massive landfill named Thailand.

    Back to their A/C offices to study their phones.

    As do reports of fruitless raids.

    There's never a lack of resources when a Big-wig comes to town or there's a photo-op/junket.

    As do I but I can never replicate the true UK Indian taste. I have bought all the separate spices; ghee; Sharwood/Patak mixes yet still fail. My hack is, I do a big vat (in the Slow cooker) of home-made curry & parcel it up in the freezer. The day I plan to eat it, I phone my Indian take-away & order 2 Naan + 1 chicken curry. I mix mine with his.
