What a Dork .

USA this would be a Very Serious Offence with a 5 - 10 year Sentence possible

In Pattaya will probably top out at 50Baht fine wouldn't it. It's only 500 for Serious Assaults isn't it ??

Attacking Media wouldn't be anything in Thailand would it ??

Americans don't wear socks with sandals.

Ive seen one or 2.

Americans wear socks with everything don't they ?.

Even with athletic shoes & looong shorts. Not sure about Flip Flops . Maybe in California ??

Sorry..............couldn't help myself !

Seems to me he was only

MONKeying around with donated funds ??

Just makes you want to follow their teachings doesn't it ??

Oh well there's always Preacher Jim Jones style.

A Top mark 'Point' Rim.

It is obvious to me that the 'Crime Crackdown' to protect the Tourist Industry is Realllllly working.!!!!

'Hang 'em High Brigade' should be all over this.

This is tragic for all concerned & has happened in several 'enlightened' societies recently

Australia ,UK & USA has had several similar incidents over the last few years.

It seems to have to do with socio economic values & unsupported females , most of young age.

Tragic no matter how you look at it

IMO

Too many Guns , too much emotion , too much like Pattaya .

Pity about the innocent victim though.

How did he shoot her when he can't even Kill himself with a 'Head Shot'

'Shooting tyres out' is a Technique most of us Trainers discourage due to the inherent danger of Ricochet .

Tyres DO NOT explode like in the movies. The vehicle is still mobile & unless shredded , the tyres deflate as fast as the pressure on it & the size of the hole the air escapes from.

At one count 2 years ago it was said that to close down all copyright breach industries from Music to Clothing it would put tens of Millions of Asians out of work , worldwide & affect several economies.

This is the time of year that USA , UK , Australia, remind the Thai Government that they contribute Funding to fight this 'crime' & it is time to Re assess the amounts that they will contribute, so there is an immediate 'flurry' to show how the Thai Government is 'combatting' this scourge.

'Fake' phones , Clothing & Bags will be the next target in the next 3 months or so.

Wait & See.

.

Opportunistic Crime & another example of the effectiveness of the many 'crackdowns' on Crime in Pattaya.

Police cannot be everywhere , BUT , one would assume because of prevalence one would have a regular Patrol of Beach Road 2 - 5 am daily

Preventative Patrols are more effective than Reactive Policing

Just an observation

I keep telling myself "You carry a Badge" which is enforcement NOT Judgement.

BOY oh BOY sometimes it is Hard.....

No matter which way this is looked at the whole mess is a TRAGEDY.

But when people have to Die to bring attention to a problem than that is the worst type of Tragedy !

The victims family also are now more victims . No breadwinner & a lack of social support. On & On flows the problem.

I don't think there is anything I haven't seen or experienced but this type of senseless crime has multiple victims & consequences. No one wins

R.I.P.

It is surprising that this type of incident should happen in such a Tourist dominated area

One would have thought that the Safety for Passengers & Crew alike would be superior because of the heavy use.

Tragic.

Sounds like the 'Revolving Door' system is still alive and well in Pattaya

Oh well !

This is a comedic report surely.

A 'fake' watch in Pattaya , you have gotta be joking.

I find it hard to believe that it was represented as a genuine Rolex / Tag / whatever.

I have been getting them offered for over 25 + years as First Class COPY ..never as Original. Find this a bit hard to believe

Insurance claim in the wind ???

What about making a False Statement , what about Investigation costs, what about Misleading Police , What about .......................Oh heck , just lock the losers up & contact their Insurance Company

Rim , where is the Pointing Pic proving this is real ??

I'm Sorry ................'Crackdown ?????????????

Are you sure you don't mean " Crack up" ? as in a B----y Joke?????

Sorry , but as an LE Trainer & Agent this is truly a Crack Up

Where's the' Pointing ' to enforce it ???

Same ol' , Same ol'

I think the Record is stuck in the same ol' track !!!!

in some ways its not a bad thing

in many countries i have visited you stand a good chance of getting knocked down on the boardwalk by a senior on a mobility scooter

Not to mention those insufferable Wheelchairs

This poor condition of Sidewalks & Roads has been a point of contention since we started coming to Pattaya

That is 25+ years

1st Edition - Welding sparks caused the fire. Estimated damage 100 Million Baht.

1st Revision - Short circuit caused the fire. Estimated damage 30 Million Baht.

2nd Revision - Cockroaches caused the fire. Estimated damage 20 Million Baht.

3th Revision - Not sure what caused the fire. Estimated damage 10 Million Baht.

Final Revision - There was no fire. Just our imagination. Insurance pays 160 Million Baht.

Many a joke contains Truth

I understand Respect. But wouldn't just a Day of Mourning with everything shut be more practical & Honourable. ??

I Know , I know . it's Pattaya

Just a suggestion

Hahaha...Omani Muslims drinking beers and wanting to get laid for free. That's 2 cardinal sins for Muslims. They paid less by being robbed as they would have been lashed or perhaps lynched in their country. Not to mentioned the price they would pay in their afterlife according to their scriptures. Som nam na!

Alcohol and prostitutes are available in Oman

But have you 'seen' the prostitutes there?

They're the ones with the half beards aren't they ??

2 pages of comments on a NON event ...that is more Amazing than the actual event.

Sandbags work in other areas . BUT the drainage has a lot of competency behind it & are for Unusual circumstances NOT the collapsing lack of Infrastructure that Pattaya suffers.

I have been dodging Floodwaters when we stay there for 25+ years

It's just one of the many conditions that regularly exist

'Greed is Good??'

Don't you have to prove that the guy knew it was fake ??

He pawned it didn't he so there was no sale of fake gold ...Just a loan >> HHmmmm??.Very Interesting !!

Trying to think how far a Handgun can fire when the average Bullet speed is around 1100 fps.

In 1969 it was found that the 'Warning' shot fired into the air is life risking folly that does not work.

Love to meet the BIB Firearms Instructors. Or don't they bother with training ??
