Naked Foreigner Man Arrested for Disturbance in Pattaya

A naked foreigner was arrested in Pattaya after causing a roadside disturbance and damaging property outside a residence. The incident occurred on Thap Phaya Road, where the man, whose identity and nationality remain undisclosed, was seen intoxicated and shouting incoherently. Business owners and residents reported feeling alarmed by his behavior, prompting police involvement.

The foreigner was initially observed harassing pedestrians and motorists, leading to concerns from local businesses about potential damage. Police from Mueang Pattaya Police Station restrained him and transported him to the station, where he struggled to communicate effectively. A resident, Kanlaya, later filed a complaint, providing CCTV footage of the man damaging a decorative statue at her home, valued at up to 35,000 baht.

The footage shows the man interacting with the statue before causing its head to detach and hit him. Following this, he continued to disturb the area until his arrest. Channel 7 reported he was charged with disorderly conduct under the influence, with fines potentially reaching 5,000 baht. Additional charges for harassment under Section 397 may result in a similar penalty.

Authorities indicated that the man would remain with them until he could provide coherent responses about the incident. This arrest highlights ongoing challenges with foreign nationals and public disturbances in tourist-heavy areas like Pattaya. The police aim to handle the situation fairly while ensuring public safety and order, reported The Thaiger.

I've had my fair share of interaction with statues and hate those that fight back.

Is this the new "Woke" it seems to be getting somewhat fashionable to parade naked around Pattaya these days, maybe organise a "Naked Foreigner" parade, off and on the lines of the "Gay Pride" parades, fun for all the locals and visitors alike, they could pelt them with rotten fruit as they are sent running through the streets.

Pattaya seems to have a lot of naked foreign men running around nowadays. What's going on?

It's the weather. The hot season has arrived, and foreigners are just trying to adapt. 😃

After landing on Thai soil it seems that a number of men venture forth having left their brains at the airport. Either that or, otherwise and for some reason, there are a number of men landing on Thai soil whose mental health was not in good shape in the first place. Whichever, add alcohol and banned substances and the result is some very odd behaviour indeed.

And add in the fact that to them Thailand is cheap so they are "holiday millionaires"

"The footage shows the man interacting with the statue before causing its head to detach and hit him. Following this, he continued to disturb the area until his arrest."

Once again an innocent bystander gets caught in the cross-fire of uncontrolled farang rage. Didn't say a word due to language barrier and got his head knocked off for not calling the farang by his right pronoun. I think the statute hitting the farang with it's head, after it had been detached, should be examined for excessive force in defending itself. This could be a case of statue brutality.

It does not matter what nationality he is, it seems from the reports there are lots of low life of all nationalities doing strange things in Pattaya, decent people avoid going anywhere near it.

It is a bit like a fly trap, it keeps other areas of Thailand 'free of such creatures', so we should appreciate the job Pattaya is doing for us really.

What I want to know is why don't we ever have naked young women running around, why is it always naked older men? You see a sight like that and depending upon your mental state you might be looking at 100 hours of therapy to get that image out of your head.

Not being a racist myself, I personally consider his nationality irrelevant. and I don't understand why anybody would feel the need to speculate on the matter,

People come here in their millions, to let their hair down and enjoy themselves,

occasionally a very very small minority may overdo things, probably due to the availability of cheap alcohol , the effects of which when combined with dehydration due to the heat, can result in incidents like this.

Why our resident "pearl clutchers" and "bed wetters" have to get so hysterical regarding such matters is a mystery to me.

It does raise questions, like , What kind of sheltered lives did they all lead before coming here and settling down with prostitutes often young enough to be their granddaughters ? Why are they so easily shocked?

Seeing a naked obese western woman could actually be considerably more disturbing in my opinion,

Out of morbid curiosity, I recently watched, on youtube, an episode of "my 600lb life" I doubt I'll ever recover,

I agree with you on that one, about a decade ago my nephew visited and wanted to see a sex show in Bangkok, we searched and searched and finally found a place in Patpong, and though we went into 15 different bars every single one of them was populated by old and ugly women. So we finally settled on one and the entire time I found myself looking at the vintage poster collection, and discussing it with him in great detail.

It was incredibly painful to look toward the stage. And I think I might still be traumatized to this day. My father used to tell me when I was young that the vast majority of women look far better with their clothes on than off, and I think he was right.

As the late great Alen Coren said "thank God for Pattaya it keeps the scum out of the rest of Thailand"

Like any guy in his early teens I was no stranger to porno magazines, there was always a good selection being passed around amongst my school friends, Some had a "readers wives" section those pages were never stuck together, unfortunately.

If you as it seems are happy settling down with very a very young prostitute, that is up to you.

The rest of us are happy to have your definition of 'sheltered lives" meaning we have not been exposed to prostitutes, drunken idiots and the rest, do as you please but your should realised the rest of us have not been sheltered but have chosen to lead a decent life and wish to stay away from such places like Pattaya.
