This is the real PANDEMIC worse than any Virus can ever produce in this country!  They have taken ever cue from the outside world how to handle Covid, it is time they do the same for driving!  If they take the time to address this real PANDEMIC as they have done with the Virus in a year Thailand will be out of the top 2 in deaths!

Pandemic is world wide.

How can there be a Chinese tourist running around?

[patrick1968]

500 fine and go home sleep it off ?     next day he will be on the road again 

 

[Caine]

Pity he didn't kill himself. One less of them would have been nice.

Maybe a special guest invited here by TAT

now from 0 to 1, they can write a 100% increase

in the numbers of chinese tourists visiting Pattaya this month

Whoever wrote this has no clue what the word "lynching" means.

 

There was no attempted "lynching".

 

"Vigilante justice", yes.  Lynching is the opposite of justice. ????

Yes you are correct 

I only looked at this photo

which to me looks like the front of the BMW...should have looked at the others too before "jumping" to conclusions  !

Thats the back of the Beamer, anybody who is still unsure lokk at the position of the index plate and  the sat/nav gps module on the roof never fitted on the front, there is also tyre marks leading to the BMW where it has been shunted.

Wait until the only Chinese tourist in Thailand gets home and tells his mates about this.  At least he/she didn't drown in Pattaya Bay.

Another "don't you know who I am" no mark !

I hope Chaiyaphon Pumkin gets the book thrown at him.

Not behavior of a drunk person, but certainly that of a person on drugs, Maybe methamphetamine or similar.

    This same news packet has another story about a drunk driver in Samut Prakan plowing into nine cars and then making a big scene at the hospital.  Why is the Pattaya story given the highlight spot at the top, I wonder. 

Because this is the  Pattaya Forum, and the source a Pattaya centric one?

[mikebell]

I bet Pattaya Plod declined the invitation to fight, not being used to working at night or in gangs of less than ten.

[dogfish180]

Some quality police work there. Just standing around and laughing! <deleted>

Thanks, but it just makes me more correct!  Worldwide Thailand driving death are year in year out #1 or 2

The BMW  is facing the wrong way..maybe it "jumped" the central reservation ?

A car going the wrong way in Thailand is certainly not news

    I don't think so.  The set of news stories I get in my email from 'Thaivisa.com News Editor'--usually once or twice a day--covers all of Thailand and also has news items sometimes from Cambodia, USA, Europe, etc.  I think this same packet of stories had one about Trump trying to block the Bolton book--nothing to do with Pattaya.  I assume people in Bangkok and elsewhere on Thai Visa get the same packet of news items sent to their email that I get.   I'm still thinking it's because people like to read abut bad things happening in Pattaya rather than Samut Prakam--wherever that is.

A Chinese tourist????? When were the borders re-opened???

He was probably already in thailand at the time of the borders closure

and for some reasons he has prefered to stay here rather than go back to China.

Some westerners tourists are still here also, they can say thank you to the Thai

visa amnisty untill the 31 july on their overstays

You don't, that is what it says at the top of the Page.....Pattaya Forum/ Pattaya News.....

[Sumarianson]

In the US they just shoot you on a normal stop after being drunk, let alone this carnsge and abuse of the Police. He is lucky he lives in Thailand.

    Yes, the story is filed under the 'Pattaya Forum' as it relates to Pattaya.  On the news files I get in my email from the Thaivisa Editor, there are always 2 'top stories' chosen, which are given star billing in boxes at the top of the email, and then they also appear below in the list of news stories.  They can relate to any forum or just be general news not specific to one forum. 

     When you click to read a story it does take you to the appropriate forum.  I clicked on a Chiang Mai immigration story today and it took me to the Chiang Mai Forum.  The point I was making was Pattaya's story of someone acting badly was chosen as a 'Top Story' to be given top publicity rather than an equally or worse story of something similar happening in a different city.  So, two drunk driver stories happening at the same time in different cities.   Why was Pattaya's story deemed a featured 'Top Story' and not the other one is what I was asking.

What was the other city? It may well be of lesser interest to the general board audience. As a Pattaya resident, a story about some drunk driver dancing around in his underpants with a traffic cone on his head, is far more interesting to me than a similar event in Hua Hin. I might just know the guy!
