Popular Post webfact Posted August 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2018 Iranian tourist sniffs scam after being fined for littering in Pattaya By The Nation Picture: Siamchonnews An Iranian tourist cried foul after he he was fined for littering on a Pattaya walking street early on Wednesday by men who claimed to be Pattaya City officials but failed to issue a receipt. Shahrokh Assadizadldleh, 32, lodged a complaint at a Pattaya police station at 3.30am on Wednesday. Speaking via an interpreter, the tourist said he was strolling on Pattaya Walking Street when a group of men dressed like officials approached him and demanded he pay a fine of Bt2,000 for dropping a cigarette butt. The men took him to a desk of officials in front of the Siam Bayshore Resort to pay the fine. He said he paid it but the officials declined to give him a receipt. The tourist then led police and reporters to the booth of Pattaya City officials at the spot, but none of them knew anything about the fine. The officials said fines were not normally collected at the booth but instead paid at the Pattaya City Office. They then led the Iranian tourist to City Hall to issue him with a receipt for the fine. An official complained that he had to pay from his own pocket to get the receipt issued. Police have so far been unable to identify who took the tourist's money.

Don't throw your cigarette butt on the streets. The same thing happened to me about fifteen years ago in Bangkok. Official looking guy tried to fine me for dropping a cigarette butt on the ground. I ignored him and he tried chasing after me, but I kept laughing in his face and he gave up. Obviously a scam artist or a rouge tessakit guy. Why did I laugh at him? Because I've never smoked in my life. 4 3 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChouDoufu Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 1. the tourist never claimed he did NOT litter. 2. the maximum fine for littering (according to googles) is 2000 baht. 3. the fine for smoking in a non-smoking area is 2000-5000 baht. 4. pattaya has installed designated smoking booths. 5. stupid scammers haven't updated their scam since new smoking laws went into effect, should have demanded more!

As a Clinical Psychologist, may I point out that one does not get "CERTIFIED" except when classed as "returned to a state of normalcy, not for being classed as "insane, abnormal, being bi-polar, having a personality disorder, or whatever." People who do not know, or think they know, should not throw stones before putting thoughts to a computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
