Wow 'mistake?'

leads to a shooting and from an incident where there is supposed to be a major Police presence on a 'Crackdown'

Pump action shotgun ......& no injuries . That's gotta be an unusual shooting scene .

Guess he wasn't aiming at anyone ???

Wow ...............Rocks of Ruck on that.

After 6 years they complain ?????????

Very patient

If that's not Kharma I don't know what is.

It's a wonder he hadn't already been pulled over by the Major Anti Crime mass of Police for not wearing a helmet.

Guess the net missed these fish & then caught themselves.

Hope no one blames the victims for having money in the bag

Shotgun pellet at 850 - 950 feet per second hitting you in the face would be more on your mind than if the gun that fired it was safe for the user to fire I assure you.

My interest would be who made it & how many has he/they sold in the street & where are the shotgun shell being supplied from??

Oooops !!! soryy forgot I was back in Pattaya....great photos !!!!

Just reminiscing we went on a County wide S&D a few years ago ( S coop & D etain ) not what you thought

In a six hour Mobile Patrol with 12 Officers & 8 vehicles we took 57 weapons off the street that night & 18 were from Juveniles. There were a couple of Pistols

At least the Pointing has now become 'Hand on Shoulder'

31.1grams = 1 oz

Who cares about its safety to the idiot that had it.

That's another Gun off the Street.

This is the first report about the 'crackdown' that shows a positive actual result

Well Done & only 30 personnel on duty there.

Please don't quote me but I heard from locals that if proven it is a 50 year Jail sentence I hope the sentence is correct 50 years. I wouder how his back end will feel after a week I heard the prisons here are the same as the west they do not like child molesters , and they are not put in protective custody .

Depends on his connections and how deep his pockets are. There was a report of a Farang who was arrested a few years back for statutory rape of a 12 year old and he is still walking the streets......

Also the Italian guy back molesting near a school within 2 weeks of his arrest & over 20+ arrests in Italy prior to his arrival in Pattaya

If convicted let's hope a deserved sentence

It only seems to be out of control because of the small population. Phuket even had an Aussie lady killed in Broad daylight during a bag snatch.

But it happens everywhere

Common sense is your best personal protection

That's it the figures will be down to Zero in no time.

Those smokers are a known source of Organised Crime.

They are probably sitting there in the clubs working out how many more Jet Skis to buy for Renting to Tourists.

They are obviously the source of Crime in Pattaya . Thank Goodness this has been discovered .

Oh No there goes the reputation of Pattaya from an unsafe Tourist spot to a confirmed unsafe Tourist spot . 555

Seiously though another news report in Perth Australia the same thing on a 73 y.o. lady with severe injuries on Friday.

BUT the Perth Cops didn't have 500Uniforms on Parade . That's probably a lesson they could get from here

555

Another one for the mounting Body Count . But no one will probably ever know the actual facts.

Tragic loss of a young life

R I P

Tragic R I P

Lets hope some of that massive Manpower to bring crime to zero focus in on the perpertrator / s here in this despicable event.

I am sure I will feel much safer when they get done removing money from people for smoking! We all know smoking leads to robbery, assault, murder, etc. Oh yeah, jet ski scams and other notorious rip offs. But already getting paid off, right?

SPOT ON !!

Don't want to appear cynical but, if there is to be a Crime Reduction to Zero wouldn't that see a major part of the Enforcement Personnel charged ???????

Just asking

They are guilty because we have the POINTING Photo.......Yahoooooooooooo !

Arresting drug users are easy , in any town in any country.

Arresting & Convicting Major Drug Dealers is a vastly different story

I know there are several dozen cops on the street in Singapore in tourist areas & airports at all times that you never see

They are PROFESSIONAL Law Enforcement though, not photo op ,temporary crackdown, Foreign Embassy pressured.

"Organised crime cannot exist without Corruption"

I was taught & I totally believe it , I pass that on in my classes also

Well Done ?????????????

Drug Ring or set up ???

Drugs off the street ?????????????? either way Good .......But a lot of questions as a member of a Task Force in another jurisdiction

HHmmmmm ???????????????????????

Tragic

Another body to the New Year count that was unneccessary if Policing of Safety was actually a reality rather than perception

No crackdown on second road last night around 8 pm when a bloodied & bashed Farang was left on the sidewalk just near Maccas staggering around looking lost covered in Blood & Bruises

I was accomanying two ladies & a young 12 year old girl visiting from Australia and couldnt stop.

But NO Police any where but they were at their freebie breakfast this morning at different places on second road

I know better than anyone you can't be everywhere BUT major area , early in the evening , large crowds , near a popular 7-11 & supposedly 500 extra personnel ?????????????

"Tarnish Thailands Reputation" ???

Cheap place to Holiday , cheap place to live, CHEAP wages for menial tasks . The same all over Asia.

One of the most basic economic reasons goods & services are cheap is because of illegal labour. Look at USA , Latin America, Asia in general, India .

Low earnings mean 'off the book' labour & opportunistic People Smugglers.

Watch Australia suffer in the next 10 years , they keep accepting 'Boat Refugees' different term SAME result same Black Money , same People Smugglers

Pity the victim wasn't Russian

Then I would suggest heaven & earth would be moved so the reputation of Pattaya doesn't suffer & a Global Manhunt would ensue

Sorry, I don't mean to be cynical but what is the point of Raiding Homosexuals after a group of hetrosexuals raped 2 women ???

It is starting to look as if there is to be photo op after photo op over the next month.

"has been affected " ??? what from a ' sex tourist location ' to an ' unsafe for Russian sex tourist location'

Not diminishing the horror of what has allegedly taken place

Sad RIP

BUT is the Rider Licensed ????

Was the driver sober ???

too many questions at this early juncture

Here's Hoping !!!!!

Pardon my cynicism. BUT why are they removing Leaves?????

Seems a lot of Beat up to me . Why ???

As an Investigator I have a question - How long did that b****y Tree take to get to that height ?????

Another question how many leaves has it sprouted during its' life that are unaccounted for. ???

This appears to me to be an exercise in futility BUT a great Media bit to boost the perception of enforcement in Pattaya

The BIB don't usually patrol in the back areas of East Pattaya. Probably phoned in to a civilian police volunteer at the request of a conservative local who against the young guys using the leaves. Also take this action if someone is taking YaBa & after been warned continues to cause family/community problems.

So as a seedling it is OK , as a shrub still OK, at a metre high OK ........BUT then BAM !

Info to Police about Drug use is normal everywhere this is a stretch
