Report Today On Pattaya Future Facebook

Another Indian Tourist was assaulted and punched in the face by the group at Soi 11 at approx 4.30 this afternoon he had just finished renting a jet ski. This is because you have not enforced regulations on these operators and Pattaya City Hall should take responsibility.

The beach is totally out of control with the scams everywhere again yesterday and today no law enforcement anywhere . Three Indian Guys rented jet ski's at soi 11 they drove careful and kept apart from each other.

When they come in the scammers grabbed two of them and showed photo's which would have been manipulated the scammers got aggressive making threats and threatened one friend who was videoing the scam.

Anyway not sure what happened but they were kept on the beach a long time.

How much hope does a tourist have when he is up against a

1 manipulated photo's

2. indian and farang guides who makes out they working for police.

3.Threats and intimidation by a drunken bunch of thugs who will attack you with the first object hey get in there hand

4. No safety measures in place for tourists to Pattaya

5. Corrupt Police.

6. Call centers and tourist police who wont respond.

7. A Town Hall that makes promises of new regulations and safety measures but then does absolutey nothing.

8. Every Jet Ski Vendor in Pattaya is in on this they work as big group and support each other.

To be honest don't be concered about that just show your previous tax figures and also pay slips from your new job , a personal reference may help from your employer also but not necessary. Put a good application together but you should show that you are able to provide for her including cost of living.

RIP Marco condolences. To all .

There are a group that hang out close to central on 2nd road they get between the parked cars and a large wall on the foot path have seen them hassling a few people.

Many times I have seen the Marine Department turn up I believe they are not the same group as the marine police and they seem to be very friendly towards the guys doing the robberies.

This is not the first time no one has answerd or helped I think the. Tourist police are scared , I also noticed a couple of robberies taking place towards walking st.

There is not a chance in the world that any volunteer from these categories will go against the scammers including food and drink vendors and massage ladies.

This is just an insult to all of us.

Ithere are still another thousand places if they close it and a lot of these shops keep all the software backed. Up on hard drives so very hard to stop.

That list seems a bit high Bangkok to Pattaya I usually get for 1200 baht

Good reference material Bruce thanks for the effort in putting it together and posting it

I Tried to phone the tourist police to report the robbery but......they hung up.

If you ask Noam Chomsky he will tell you that "language shapes our perception of reality." I think it is interesting that you are using the word "robbery" instead of "scam." In fact, that is what it is: ROBBERY. It borders on ARMED ROBBERY.

Thailand will never get to where it wants to be until it decides to stop this sort of crap!

Robbery is the correct word a scam is to soft and when these robberies also include photo manipulation used as evidence to extort money that should be a higher crime including fraud.

Terrible news a lot people have had their completely ruined and sadly a death involved.

I was reading on another website that once health checks are done they are sent to HOC australia does anyone know if this applies to Thailand also.

What is HOC?

Health Operations Centre

I was reading on another website that once health checks are done they are sent to HOC australia does anyone know if this applies to Thailand also.

Thanks everybody for the advice looks looks like buying AUD in thailand will save about 20000 baht but it will have to be hand delivered.

If you are looking to transfer through the banking sysyem please PM me and we can discuss if options available. (BBL employee)

Thanks for the Offer Dave now I have it sorted.

One question for anyone who can help once the medical and. Interview are done what happens ? Does the embassy send an email and say it's approved and youron a waiting list or do you just sit back and wait with no contact. I would like my partner to. Go for a few months holiday if they gave assurance the visa would be granted.

It never seems to make any difference how much bad media they get the show just goes on.

It cant get it to work sending sms's to australia
