Good News story .

But, just curious about the following:

1. Why would you carry that much Ca$h around.?

2. How could a Teacher afford to be carrying that amount around.?

I'll be fascinated to hear how the apologists will claim that the political turmoil isn't the death knell on Thai tourism.

Why should the current political turmoil have any more effect than any previous turmoil? From the economic crash of 97 through the coup of 2006, the airport take over and the floods of 2011 tourist arrivals seem to increase year on year.

Good graph below, apart from a couple of small dips the general trend is upward, the threat of SARS seemed to cause the biggest dent in 2003.

Not being an apologist, just stating the facts HD.

I agree with the Facts , been staying in Patts for 3 months at a time since '85 with my wife and remember even coming through Utapao back when we had some unrest.

The Only reason I clamped this time was the Hand Grenades being thrown willy nilly in the streets of BKK.

Hope it is back to what is regarded as 'Normal' by November . Street Shootings,Prostitutes, Bar Girls,Brawls, Drug Dealing,Jet Ski Hire Scams, you know all the little things that sets Pattaya apart.

It is still Pattaya & I enjoy our time there,missed it but happy with our decision

It can't be that Serious Rim ,there isn't a 'Point' Pic anywhere........................

Missed my 3 month stay last November because I considered it was too much C..p going on. Took my wife Europe instead.

I just Love how the BEST way to bring stability to a Country that DEPENDS on Tourism has a MILITARY COUP. - AGAIN

Ah well just some more reasons to bring a Smile to my face in the Land of Smiles.

Hope to get back November. Maybe the 'Quality ' Tourist season will fix it all.. First year we missed since '85 good luck to all the folks in Biz

Obviously all the 'Crackdowns' on Crime are working

Thank the Lord this evil crime and criminals have been busted.

Obviously it is time for a 'Crackdown' so we can have a Gambling free Resort town for Quality Tourists.

No wonder the American Gun Lobby are complaining about the difficulty of getting Ammo for their Handguns.

It's all in Pattaya.

Don't need his confession got the 'Back of the Head' Point. That's it GONE.

a 7 for that one Rim

Bit of a Rum deal though !

R I P. Very sad to suffer that deep a despondency

I hope Never to get that Despondent.

But I Never can contemplate Suicide because of someone else.

What's wrong with Nembutal ??, it is better than all these 'messy' incidents.

This is what I would term a 'Spray & Pray' Shooting.

Thankfully , none of these Retards are Trained.

Hope the Victim is OK . There are Many types of Head wounds. Let's hope this was a 'glance'

East L A , East Cleveland . Now we have East Pattaya.

Time for a 'Crackdown' headline . It is obvious the last couple on firearms missed one or two.

FINALLY

A GENUINE Damage to a Jet Ski Story in Pattaya.

Talk about High & Dry

There is some Justice in Pattaya

FINALLY

I treat these regular 'Honest' Cabbie stories with doubt.

But it's a feel good story .

Better than Shootings , muggings , JetSki scams , suicides , murders - in other words - Reality in Pattaya

Rather than postulate about the short comings of regulations and Health & Safety in Thailand.

Nothing can regulate against Human Behaviour.

This is a Tragedy as is any innocent Loss of Life , particularly on a Holiday when 'Care Free' is the normal attitude

R.I.P.

Oh, c'mon posters, let's not be negative and suspicious all the time...........give the man some credit.

He doesn't need CREDIT when he can spend 6 million of his own cash

My head would be spinning if this was any Jurisdiction but one in Thailand.

If My Chief or Sheriff did that we would have that many Internal Inquiries commenced ....Ah Pattaya you have gotta Luv it

I would suggest that this 'Crackdown' means a couple of things.

The new Boss needs a Public Lift in his Profile.

The Govts. of Australia ,USA and UK are about to check to see that there a genuine attempts in Thailand to stop the 'Counterfeit' Market before they Contribute a Few more Million Dollars to the Thai Govt. to help in the 'fight'

I M O

Just got to love education.

I guess this is where the Dopes go to be trained ?? or is that Dope Heads ??

How long before a marijuana legalization movement, ala Colorado, in Thailand?

Oh my god you have to be joking?

Can you imagine what Thailand’s roads would be like with motorcyclists and motorists rushing around stoned out of their minds

Too late to worry about that !

This is a very different scenario from the 'fake rolex' sellers.

This seller said it was Authentic. AS an avid collector I can tell you that even the Hang Tag with Hologram and the Box would help give that impression.

Totally different from the street guys who I have never heard pretend it to be anything but 'Copy' . That's Trademark problem. Like the copied DVDs ,Bags , T Shirts , and CDs etc

Love the blocking of the alleged perpetrators face by the papers logo. That should help NOT !

Caveat Emptor ...............................it is Pattaya after all.

One of two Pattaya Students arrested following foreign bag snatch in Central Pattaya

But how do they know the bag was foreign?

It wasn't a counterfeit !

sorry couldn't help myself

This guy looked as if he had enough equipment to set up a small department of his own.

Maybe they should hire him as a Consultant to Teach them how to finding the 'illegals' he seems to excellent at it. ??

Well Done.

There seems to be a lot more arrests happening over incidents.

Hope it is not a perception but a reality.

Has anyone EVER heard of someone commuting suicide this was?

So, what odds its suicide, or the driver just ran over someone?

Yes more than once in USA & Australia.

In fact witnessed one on the Freeway in Perth a few years ago. Guy jumped the Barrier raced onto Freeway and Knelt down praying style facing a Tractor Trailer Truck (15tonner) at 80kmh. Messy.

The fact that the Head was crushed could suggest that the victim was prone BUT doesn't factually mean he laid down.

Had a victim with a Crushed head at a Bus Station she crossed the road in front of another Bus that was at the stop without due care and went under the front wheel.

Without witnesses you cannot know.

R I P the victim

.

Well Done.

Education doesn't seem to help common sense.

Bag snatching is deplorable

Bag snatching in front of Cops is Idiotic

I have a radical idea!!!!!

How about the police enforce the regulations. Fine the people who break the rules, or even impound the vehicles.

Do you think it would work?

It already does .BUT ...not in Pattaya

Well Done................ Keep it Up

I like the Malaysian idea 'DaDa means Death'

That's what they sell 'Death' ....Slow and Torturous.

IMO
