You could get a Pool Cabana Room with breakfast at Las Vegas Hooters for less than that

There is a Pool Party every night

</p>

You cant drink alcohol but you can take a drug to give yourself the same effect ,a little like muslim finance ,you cant take any interest but there are ways around it to make a profit ,-hypocritical or what?

Why single out Muslims, same as Christians who don't adhere to the ten commandments or followers of other faiths etc, etc, etc...

Hear ! Hear !

Obviously their Trained Detectives were able to track down the culprit & because of his devotion to duty over the years forgave him this minor slip & let him retire gracefully.

Gee , just like the Australian Cops in NSW , Victoria, Queensland (In Particular) & various Cities like New York world wide

Although I don't think shooting up the Chiefs residence would be acceptable anywhere but Pattaya

Ya just gotta love this place , the incidents are very different & lately Lots of Guns involved ,but the reporting of them is the most entertaining anywhere I have been

Like here in Pattaya there is a third sex right ??

God knows where that leaves the Gays & Dikes

Sorry couldn't help myself

One thing not to forget , as Cities grow so does Crime , the more visitors arrive the more opportunities arise.

Sometimes the infrastructure of Police / Medical / Emergency Services fail to keep pace & then it is catch up. It has happened in most fast growing areas.

Then of course there is the Culture of the area to consider that has a lot to do with the actual responses put in place

Only 14 ???

I like the ones on second road using their phones & smoking their cigarettes while the kid lays across their laps pretending to sleep.

" Due to poor Border Controls they will be back to take up where they left off " ???????

Then why bother , beaten before you start

I could make a plethora of comments about Certified Police / Tactical Trainers that reside or visit here on a regular basis that Police could take lessons from .

But I remember a very qualified British Police Officer about 3 years ago offering his services as a Volunteer & he was ignored.

I know one regular guy that is here every year that has Trained Police / Teams /SWAT in more than 20 states of the USA & even a Federal Task Force,plus Columbia , Malaysia,Singapore,Brunei, Trained Security inTransit / Patrol / Crime Suppression & Weapons in Australia & several other Countries ,etc. ( He was one of my Trainers )

There would be many like him here BUT there is no way the locals are interested. They have their own agenda.

Photo Ops , etc are the way to go

Perception is better than reality I guess.

Like I said once before.

Some Tourists leave their common sense at the entry gate when coming to Thailand

This idiot is a classic example.

I sincerely hope that 'Assault a Police Officer' is as big a charge as where I work

NO Excuses for assaulting an Officer doing his duty...IMHO

2013.................... the Body Count starts

Advice .....Ad Hoc Patrols Do Not work & do not prevent.

Place doesn't matter it is a world wide fact.

Security & Police Ad Hoc Patrols assist in Perception only

Inadvertantly may prevent an opportunistic event but not planned Burglarys

4 + Decades on the street in several jurisdictions both as a Cop & Security Officer sorry but thems the facts

Maybe one day they will also do something about the taxi-meters not using the meters. Surely that is illegal too

That was discussed & in the press in 2001 , 2003 , 2007 & probably even more

Lets try for 2013 ................if you believe that I have a few cheap acres in Florida for sale. Visible on most Low Tides

Boo Hoo !!

Ya gotta be kidding.

Poor Brits

Fancy having to make an effort to get an inquiry attanded to . There is always Consular support just not necessarily next door.

Crying Towels available at Mikes.

Oh Brother . What a story / stories / report / reports / reporters

Pattaya News

Leading by example.

WELL DONE

Just makes my Day to see Scum like this captured

7,000 Baht for 3 wallets ....Now that is stealing

So brief a life R I P

But the body count keeps rising

Arrest imminent from some time in the future

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm ??

Anyone for a Lie Test ???

Ooooops. !

No Passes

I have got stomach cramps

Bent over from Laughing. I was looking for a serious crime story to add my expertise

All I got was Comedy Hour at the Reception

Have dealt with such incidents & NO not necessarily.

That doesn't mean this is one - lividity,& other physiological & forensics govern the decision.

BUT I gotta ask 'a 33 years old ' then further on ' aged 55 ???'

.......... Embassy estimates 50k residing in Thailand. Last year there was two murders of British nationals in Thailand.

That's way too low !

When in Pattaya or anywhere else put up with the prevailing conditions .

We are all governed by the rules (not necessary law) applied by the enforcers.

IMO

Body count up by another.

R I P

Roll on New Years Eve,at least the years Body count will be over ready to start again.

Predict at least one fatal by Gun A M New Years day
