A true Pattaya Happy Ending - foul mouth granddad says sorry to cop!

 

Picture: Pattaya Eastern News

 

It all started on Sunday when Pattaya granddad Joseph, 77, from Canada threw a wobbly on his motorcycle.

 

He had just made an illegal turn at the intersection of South Pattaya road and Sai 3 thinking that he was in the right.

 

Traffic cop Pol Lt Woraphan Kaewmorakot - himself near retirement age - issued a ticket for the violation.

 

Joseph took umbrage.

 

In fact his words were not those usually associated with a kindly old grand pop.

 

They were laced with what to the Thais sounds like the word for a pumpkin or is used for counting corn on the cob - "Fack Fack Fack"...followed by "you".

 

You get the idea.

 

Woraphan - used to expletives after a lifetime in the force - just took the rant on the chin and did nothing more as Joseph drove off in a fury with his ticket.

 

However, as Pattaya Easternnews reported, Joseph went home and realized he had been wrong to get his North American knickers in such a twist.

 

And he most likely secretly admired the tolerance shown by the officer.

 

So with his son he turned up at the Pattaya police station with a large basket of goodies for the traffic cop.

 

Smiles and wais were exchanged Thai style as Woraphan appreciated the gesture and accepted the apology.

 

The news media called it a true Pattaya Happy Ending.

 

And an example to all of how anger can be turned to smiles and good feelings.

 

Thaivisa notes that "happy ending" is a term often used to indicate the culmination of certain forms of massage practiced in Pattaya and elsewhere.

Good to hear a genuine "Happy Ending" story and not the usual "Happy Ending" that's usually associated with massages...  

Justin would be proud..and your photo opp is cute...but seriously dude..<deleted>

Thai cops for all their bad reputation often show remarkable self control,imagine this in the USA,he would have had a gun drawn on him,pushed to the ground and wrist tied then off too the cells,if he was black he may well have ended up dead.

Some farangs in Thailand really need to learn the art to plainly shut up their big mouths....

I'd like to see news about police apologizing to tourists. That would be news in my book

Best article I have read in ages.  Brilliant writing, and a good laugh

 

Having said all that, my thoughts on seeing the smiling photos is that matey could have dressed a bit more respectfully when he went back to the coppers

Happy Ending - full mouth 

I thought this article was about thai massage... 

Or did he realise there may be ramifications for his visa or business in Thailand...

No mention of what happened about the fine ? or just more corruption ?

Crikey. A Thai that keeps his cool and a foreigner that admits when he's wrong and apologises?!!

 

Is it April 1st?

 

Joking of course, nice to see someone do the right thing. ?

Well done both parties. MS>
