Pattaya: Out of control Canadian swaps machete for jet ski rampage

 

Thai caption: Jetski farang chased and arrested

 

Harbor officials in Pattaya chased a foreign man annoying people in the bay on a jet ski yesterday. 

 

When he was eventually arrested it turned out to be a Canadian man. It was the same man who had threatened neighbors with a machete in a rooftop rampage in the middle of last month. 

 

William Alexander Baker, 45, was arrested at the Ocean Marina after a long chase in the sea. 

 

Chief of the tourist police in Pattaya Lt-Col Piyapong Ensarn had received a report of a man annoying others in Pattaya bay and at Bali Hai port. 

 

The harbor master officials chased him to Koh Larn where he continued to annoy swimmers riding his jet ski in a dangerous manner. 

 

On arrest his papers were found to be in order but he was told that his captain's licence was now withdrawn and any further infractions and he would be prosecuted. 

 

The tourist police and immigration handed him over to Na Jomtien police for prosecution on charges of a breach of the peace. 

 

Baker is the same man who was wielding a machete in a standoff with neighbors on a roof in Kasetsin Soi 2 on the weekend of July 13th/14th. 

 

On that occasion he had shouted: "I've chopped down bigger trees than you". 

 

That case is still being dealt with, reported Sanook.

Have I missed something obvious here - what has a captain's licence to do with riding a jet ski?

[darksidedog]

Some people will just always be an idiot and this fella seems to fall in that bracket.

If the good guys in and bad guys out thing is still operating, he should be shown the door, and have it closed so he can't come back.

He would have been ok with a Maj-Gen licence ????

[ThreeEyedRaven]

I am very surprised he is still here after the machete wielding incident. And once again he seems to be getting off very lightly after annoying loads of people, acting dangerously around swimmers and refusing to stop for the harbour officials. With people like this it is probably only a matter of time before he goes mental again, at which point you can only hope they kick him out, so he can go piss people off back home.

[SammyT]

How was he not deported after the first incident? Someone should be investigating who he paid money to...

[Phuketshrew]

Clearly one sandwich short of a picnic. He needs to get back home and chill on the green.

[OneMoreFarang]

Why is he still allowed to stay here?

I think all jet skiers should be arrested for annoying people. They are the worst idea since McDonalds claimed their salads were healthy.

[Brigand]

Yeah, this guy is nutjob looney tunes stuff. Toss his arse back to from whence he came as just makes things worse for the rest of us with such moronic antics.

[Lamkyong]

he should stick to playing ice hockey  that seems to be pretty aggressive sport

[jacko45k]

They will not act seriously until he hacks a bit off somebody. Mental or addiction issues.

.... BIB on break.. .can't be bothered...555

My theory... he's the poster boy being used by Thai Immigration to show that all foreigners are evil and cannot be trusted. Soon the entire populace of Thailand will be demanding that all foreigners be deported.

I think fat people are still clinging on to that theory.

With a Captains licence you can carry a large knife. In the 1800’s it used to be a sword or cutlass! 

Are you following me so far?

[Mikisteel]

Surely the man is in need of more exposure, surely thaivisa can scoop an exclusive with this machete wielding jet skiing manetoban?

I like your thinking! Only I can't imagine for a moment Sanook news has the same obscure sense of humour!

Something to do with safe operation of a vessel or perhaps you figure he was  a captain with an airline. Facetious too big a word for me !
