Deputy mayor visits injured German

PATTAYA:--Pattaya’s deputy mayor visited a geriatric German injured when he stumbled over a broken bus stop.

 

Ronakit Ekasingh and officials from the city engineering and tourism offices called on Rolf Paul Boettiger, 80, at the Green Park Resort where he was staying Feb. 23.

 

Boettiger tripped on the foundation of a bus stop outside La Ferme Restaurant on Naklua Road the day before. He was treated at a nearby hospital for unspecified injuries.

 

Ronakit apologized and said the bus stop has now been repaired and cones placed at other places in Pattaya that could pose a danger to tourists.

 

Boettiger was given 20,000 baht for medical expenses from the tourist aid fund. (PCPR)

Where did Ronakit find 10,000 cones on such short notice?

I wonder what the balance of the 'tourist aid fund' stands at, and what other uses it has been put to?

 

I'm guessing it can only be the noxious gases emanating from the sewers that are still making the injured guy laugh so hysterically?

About the same standard that drivers use to warn of their breakdown vehicle (preferably midst in the night).

Decorated with some green where available.

Are they touring around to all tourists injured by bad infrastructure? Or only those reached by media?

It is. La Ferme and La Baguette are nice places blighted by this nonsense. Must do better.

A smile from a Thai is seldom sincere. Particularly when directed towards a foreigner.

Having said that they do smile most prolifically when taking money from you.
