Pattaya: Saudi attacked then man claiming to be police sergeant starts making threats

 

 

Thai media reported that a 36 year old Saudi national was knocked out in front of an Arab restaurant around 2.30 this morning. 

 

77kaoded said that two men arrived in Soi Yen Sabai off Pratumnak Road in South Pattaya and started shouting that Nwaf. A.M.A. had allegedly rented a motorcycle then sold it. 

 

He was violently attacked and floored outside the restaurant. 

 

Then a man on a motorcycle arrived along with a pick-up. 

 

The motorcycle man claimed he was a policeman with the top rank of sergeant and warned bystanders to stay out of it and not make it news. 

 

He tried to take the Saudi man away but he refused to go with the man claiming to be a police officer. 

 

The assailants then all fled the scene as witnesses called the Pattaya police and Sawang rescue. 

 

The victim was given first aid at the scene then taken to Bang Lamung Hospital. 

 

Police said they will wait to see the extent of the Saudi man's injuries before proceeding in the matter.

the Pattaya police

don't work nights (in case they meet bad men); don't work weekends; don't work unless there's money in it.

Not only Pattaya.

In Udon they won't come out of the city at night for fear of being attacked by irate locals.

 

My family have phoned on two occasions only to have no response after reporting intruders.

But, they have a man claiming to be police sergeant that made this to a civilian? What are we waiting for?

[30la]

And the criminals continue to do what they want, the police are invisible or "non-existent".

was the translator on LSD?

[observer90210]

The Saudi should spread his story all over social and official media once back home to dissuade his peers to come over....since the place is becomming a no-mans-land with a disgraceful police service. Some may chuckle that a Saudi got knocked off, but it could be you the next time....and in another city maybe....

Yes, sure. Even more strange why the police are waiting. Then they would really like to get him, right?

He may have to keep this one quiet as I believe there is still a travel ban for Saudis to Thailand, unless there are certain circumstances such as business, or health, which, of course, could be the case here. I had a Saudi work colleague who used to come here regularly, but he flew first to Goa, or Mumbai, then on to here. He did say if they ever see the Thai visa stamps he would get a five year travel ban.

DON'T you know what they are waiting for?????? It is normally transferred to 'Thai Cops' in brown envelopes.        It is called 'Incentive' or 'motivation'.   (They wait to see which side 'donates the most'.)         An everyday part of a cop's life in Thailand.     

I got 2 in my family in Korat --- I know.

I would be interested to know whether anyone has ever made a payment to a 

policeman using a brown envelope. There are so many references to the 

stationery item, that the producers must be up there with the chang family

as far as revenue is concerned!

The "civilian" police are so subservient to the military dictates over there, it is a shame to even call them police.

Don't take things so literally, it is also called tea-money, surely you don't believe they buy tea with it?

What a scandal for an institution calling itself ROYAL Thai police.  Not ONE taxi driver uses a meter in Pattaya yet not ONE arrest.  At least in BKK there are reports of the odd 1000 baht fine.

Not me, I'm not a self entitled Saudi who thinks that the world owes them. probably got what he was asking for. Big problem in Pattaya with Arabs in that area playing whacky racers with their bikes at night.

Maybe it is because NO ONE report it to the police & the press??? ????

[Rodbayne94]

In Bangkok near the Nana Plaza, there are many bad  Arabs, in this region there are many war refugees,  but it ends up disturbing American and European tourists

No because the taxis pay 16,000  per month so they do not have to use meter. This from a taxi driver.

In BKK there is a hotline to report such crooks.  In Pattaya the taxi drivers brazenly erect signs saying how much a fare is without recourse to meters.  Do you think this is allowed to happen without police connivance?  Most institutions in Thailand are corrupt to the core; in Pattaya the police lead the way.
