libya 115 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 SOURCE: Pattaya People: April 23rd 2007 Shooting in Pattaya – Reason Unknown The Pattaya police were informed of a shooting on Pattaya 3rd Road, near the bridge to Bali Hai Pier at 2.30 am on 22nd April. The police were told that a gang on about 10 – 12 motorbikes were being chased by Police Volunteers. About 5 minutes later the police were informed through the radio that the team had lost them around Central Pattaya Road, but they were able to seize a gun and also a wooden club with nails on the end, which had been thrown onto the road. The police questioned Mr. Wanchai Kaewdee, aged 20, who had been attacked by the gang. He stated that earlier he and his friends went to Bali Hai Pier on 6 motorbikes as they wanted to drink there. However, at the pier they were confronted by a gang of around 25 men. He and his friends thought that it didn’t look good so turned around and left but the group followed them and started shooting at them. They don’t know those people so they don’t know the reason why they were fired on? The police recorded the statements and are still searching for the suspects.

Digger Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 (edited) Might help if the police actually started working during the dark hours instead of moonlighting as security guys in bars. But maybe thats too simple an explanation As an aside, you really do wonder what the police are up to in Pattaya at times - The Bali Hai area "should" be under 24hr CCTV coverage given its the centre for almost any and every event that takes place in Pattaya, however I suspect the reality is that the only people who are required to have CCTV cameras are bars that control their own security function and to all intents and purposes do it pretty well - after all, when was the last time, you heard of gold snatching in a gogo or disco in Pattaya? Really makes me wonder why I hardly ever venture over Sukhumvit these days when I come down from Bangkok at weekends.

I am waiting for the day that they say they know who was shooting and why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
