Why I don't go there. 15%+ farang. It is not normal Thailand.

No, where did I say that?

Foreigners and their foreign neighbours behaving badly happen in other parts in Thailand, sadly, more and more often these days.

I was being polite to other foreigners here living in Thailand behaving themselves, descent people.

I spend most of my time in Pattaya and see these incidents between foreigners regularly.

This looks like Vichy water.....

no, it's not hilarious actually.

poor choice of words.

this is the problem when you own property. if you rent, it's much easier to eff off if you have a crazy neighbor. he has no choice but to move far away now.

I see foreigners interacting, with hostility everyday in Pattaya.

I think you're exaggerating to push your agenda to make foreigners look bad.

Tourists do get drunk and act rowdy in bars, but even then brawls are not that common given the number of tourists that pass through Pattaya.

Even expats who live there long-term can behave badly, but again given the number of expats living in Pattaya compared to just about anywhere else in Thailand, the number of incidents of bad behavior are nowhere near your silly "everday" claims.

It is unwise to equate money with class.

The top 4 crime hot spots for farangs are Phuket, Pattaya, Bangkok and KPN.

Yes, i agree.

It often makes me laugh why mixed kids automatically go to intl schools as well, just coz they're mixed does not make them intelligent, which many seem to think.

An 85-year-old French national has appealed for protection and justice in Chonburi after alleging ongoing harassment, intimidation and physical assault by neighbours and individuals claiming influence in the Nong Pla Lai area of Bang Lamung district.

Get today's headlines by email

The complainant, Mr Andre Beaud, authorised Pimjai to file complaints on his behalf with officers at Nong Prue Police Station and submit a petition to the Bang Lamung Damrongdhama Centre. The family is seeking urgent assistance, protection and what they describe as fair treatment from authorities.

According to the complaint, a British male neighbour living next door in Nong Pla Lai, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi, has allegedly caused disturbances over a prolonged period. The reported behaviour includes playing loud music, drinking alcohol and throwing rubbish such as beer bottles, liquor bottles and other debris into the victim’s property.

The complaint also refers to an incident, when the neighbour allegedly arrived outside the house accompanied by around four young men. The group was accused of making threatening remarks, leaving the elderly resident fearful and reluctant to continue his daily life as normal.

Further allegations state that one of the men involved claimed to be an influential figure in the Nong Pla Lai area. The complainant said he feared for his safety if the dispute continued without intervention from authorities.

Mr Beaud and his family said they wanted officials to urgently investigate the claims, provide protection and ensure justice for all parties involved. They stated that the French pensioner had intended to spend his retirement peacefully in Thailand but was now living in fear because of the alleged harassment.

The family also confirmed they were prepared to provide additional evidence and information to investigators to support a transparent and fair inquiry. Authorities have not yet publicly commented on the allegations or announced any formal charges connected to the case.

The matter is expected to be reviewed by local police and district officials as part of the complaints process. Further action will depend on the outcome of any investigation and the evidence submitted by those involved.

Vive Le France! I can hear the sabers rattling and the sound of drums. Those damned Ingleesh pigs! Come on, lads. Sit down. Have a nice cuppa tea, and make up. The bottle looks like a garden ornament.

I saw on the net yesterday that new laws are coming into effect sometime this year. It applies to expats as well as tourists. For certain incidents (like those mentioned in the OP) proved cases will cause immediate visa revocation, must leave the country within 7 days and blacklisting. However, I haven't seen this change on an official Thai website so don't know how true it is. Perhaps AN will pick it up if it finds in Thai News.

I can't get the 1812 Overture out of my mind.

May I suggest a new reality TV show format:

"Old Goats At Each Other's Throats"

Adjudicated live by Judge Somchai, the winner gets a first-class deportation ticket home.

Never mind the cup of tea and biscuits all the Frencman is gotta do is go and buy a slab of beer and a couple of bottles of the cheapest wine and go next door and drink and get drunk with them and they will think he's a great bloke.

If I was the French guy,I’d get me dad on im.

I would agree with harsher rules. Visa revocation is the best and reliable sword to stop those brawls.🙏

Foreigners don't own property in Thailand.
