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.

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 <deleted> 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.

Another one freshly home from happy hour,it would appear, burp

Exactly how does it "seem" I have happily settled down with a young prostitute ? nothing in my comment suggests that is the case . read it again when you have sobered up

Neither have I made any attempt to define the nature of the sheltered lives some on here have obviously lead. Again read it again when you are thinking more clearly The word "question" and the subsequent "?" should help you to understand

Who exactly are "the rest of us" and the "we" you refer to, you can speak only on behalf of yourself and you appear to be very triggered , I must have touched a nerve, Was she a "cashier" by any chance

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

That used to be the case , not anymore, scum can be found everywhere, I haven't been to Phuket since before the tsunami , for that very reason and the closest I have been to Pattaya for 20 years is watching video blogs on U tube

So, anyway, besides the nakedness, which is not interesting to me, whatsoever:

I am interested in seeing that the characters of his tattoo seem to be traditional rather than simplified Chinese.

This suggests to me that he had them attached to himself either in Hong Kong or Taiwan.

For sure NOT in China, because people like him are not allowed into China.

Could have been Singapore or Malaysia, of course.

But, I would argue against Taiwan, either, since, once again, bums like him are barred from entering any part of the civilized Middle Kingdom.

In addition, these characters seem to make no coherent sense in Japanese or Chinese.

The middle character, wan, usually signifies 10,000, as in 10,000 years, or something.

For example... Wan Sui, would be Live 10,000 Years. But then, the character is Shui, and not Sui, and so Shui is water, and Sui is years/age.

But, also, if the Tattoo Artist were having a laugh, he could have intentionally replaced Sui with Shui, which is another character, meaning sleep.

So, anyway, in Chinese, One could say, MaoZeDong....WanShui.....Meaning he dies/sleeps 10,000 years.

I think I will never understand a Farang such as this, and there is no point in trying.

He is an affront to the Chinese language, however...and this I can see for myself.

Who or what is this guy?

If I had to hazard a guess, I would say that he is a former Boatswain of the British Royal Navy, somehow....

Either stationed in Hong Kong for a period of time, or...

One who got shore leave, often, in Hong Kong.

How do I know this?

The Tattoo:

image.png

This Tattoo makes no sense in either Japanese or Mandarin.

But, there are meanings in Cantonese that I would not repeat on TV.

And, this tattoo looks like one of them, although I am unable to say for sure.

Also, in Cantonese, the pronunciation of the characters is far different from that of Mandarin.

And so, this could be the name of his Hong Kong lover, back in the day, perhaps even....

A ladyboy, one who had traveled from Pattaya to Hong Kong, many years ago...

Just to meet this guy's ship, for a shore-leave frollic.

Important Note: But then, I am puzzled by the fact that the middle character (wan or 10,000) is so much BIGGER than the other

two characters positioned astride.

There must be a logical reason for this disparity in size.

Maybe you should give it a go,if someone gets you down from that high horse.

If he needed restraint I imagine it would be quite a struggle to get those XXXl shorts on him (which would have been reported) and I question that the police carry them around "just in case".

He may have been "barely clothed" or "semi-naked" but I do not believe he was naked.

The CCTV footage would prove me right or wrong.......but I'll take their word for it if anyone else has seen it as I really don't want to see it for myself.

I want to see how they were able to get those shorts on that guy.

Looks almost impossible.

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,

You could be on a beach in Thailand or cleaning the mold out of fat rolls. Choose wisely.

Just maybe rather than always blaming such crap on one nationality or another we should just admit that every country has a special class of people. They are called IDIOTS regardless of where they came from.

That this looks like my bathroom mirror when I go for a 3am pee is a bit of a wake up call.

If you break the law in America on a tourist visa, run around naked where children may see you, and act like an idiot - then there is a good chance you will get locked up and deported.

You won't get away with a 60 dollar fine.

Try it in Dubai or Singapore and you will suffer even more.

As is right and proper as far as I am concerned . Of course simply just being there, without a visa or passport should also result in incarceration and deportation, regardless of how one is (or isn't) dressed

Then why does Thailand consider such a low fine as a sufficient punishment and detterant to others?

From the photos shown, I noticed two things.

The first is that he was not naked; he had on running shorts.

The second is that, with his build, he is obviously an athlete and was probably just out running down the road for exercise.
