Beat and rob someone and then sit on the beach waiting to get arrested. Dumb as they come.

[Beggar]

Wow. Until now you got at least a friendly hug of a ladyboy before your belongings disappeared.

Must be some one who works in Kuwait, because he has no resemblance to a Kuwaiti.

Cowards lifestyle? the Kuwaiti man was set upon by three Thai men , never one on one.

Tha men are usually small with even smaller balls that's why they attack in groups .

They should also be charged with bringing the family friendly

resort of Pattaya into disrepute,as well as robbery in time of darkness.

Thailand is safe. Pattaya not so much. 40 million tourists per year. let 4,000 be robbed and beaten. That are 0,01%.

True, but for lose your watch in the process you should already be digging deep in

i am not saying it was not friendly but it was more than a hug

Yes unfortunately the PAttaya beach is becomming month after month

a permanent residence for a bunch of junkies, homeless, drunkards

and others skanks. It's a disgusting show every day and night and of

course all these nice people urinate and poo on the beach.

And now come the time of the insecurity, which is a very big issue for

the destination because the relative absence of deliquency is one of the

last advantage of the country for a tourist,

I hope the authorities will finally take a serious look at this problem 

rather than harassing the poors girls who try to do few bahts working here.

If there would be only one robber, but an armed one, you would complain too, that it´s unfair. But that´s how a robbery works: be more, stronger or better armed as your victim.

No value judgment, just personal observation and opinion

 Was in Pattaya once about 15 years ago, was not very impressed. never went there again and never will.

The beach was dirty and unimpressive, there were a lot of bars , some street performers. , on walking street. I remember shops for tourists with Indians trying to sell me a suit and rolex watches. Not my scene 

Don't know what it is like now  

I can see how something like that  could happen there.

Dont worry you will be safe we were told

Weeeeeeeell, perhaps they thought the same about law enforcement in the area.......????

[Scot123]

Well this is what happens when you beat up tourists you only get a 500baht fine and a wai. The further the economy suffers through the lack of spending tourists the more this will occur. I was shocked not to read "more to this story" or "he must have done something wrong" or the one I really like "I've lived here for 20 years and never happened to me" yep where are use?

So in not so many words what you saying is that you are thinking of moving?

 

Yes, have seen the American guy and his GF, as recent as 2 mins ago, all over Facebook????

[KenKadz]

Low high season, fewer tourists, fewer snow birds (4/6 mo. seasonal residents), less money circulating, sign of things to come?

To phrase it a bit more precisely, Thai as they come. Lack of ability to finish properly anything they start.

[Tropposurfer]

OMG !!!!! And this happening in the world class resort !!! What a shocking turn if events for a family tourist centre lol lol. 

[bizboi]

Surely no Kuwaiti would go to Pattaya I MEAN….what would he be there for? Drinking and whoring are illegal in kuwait and there are no casinos like the ones Kuwaitis like frequent when they go the West to buy houses!!!

There are certain nearby countries where it is the norm to do your toilet requirements anywhere handy, even in the middle of the street, and guess what, people from these countries are swarming to Pattaya right now, where amazingly, they believe themselves to be the superior race !!!

Never mind about the beating and robbery; the serious matter is they brought disrepute to 'The Image of Thailand' !
