Im not sure if even the Chinese and Indians are going to put up with it. Negative Dept. Thai males have no business being in Pattaya! The city is a dedicated zone for foreign males and Thai women. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BangkokReady Posted December 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sadly, "your actions have zero consequences" is one of the more negative sides of Thai culture. Sometimes it's ok, or even desirable, to "make a person feel bad" because of something they did, rather than going to great lengths to shield them from ever experiencing that feeling. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they had plans to take them specific places, so the pick-ups came, they put them in the back and away they all went. It was widely reported in Pattaya media just a few weeks ago. Further than that I can't help you, but rest assured if too many louts or undesirables are seen in the beach front areas of Pattaya they will be forcibly removed again, not a concern or problem for the Thai authorities. This isn't Kansas, Dorothy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That they managed to identify and locate him is indeed a job well done. I hope he is not let off easily with a meek ขอโทษ and a wai. yes be good to get the follow up to this does he go to prison ..pay a few people or just a slap on the wrist a few Wai's.. its Thailand any of these scenarios are a possibility eh.. hope the lady is ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussienam Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 10 hours ago, RichardColeman said: and were they charges with receiving stolen goods ? Police would be wise to check the entire pawn shop Pawnbrokers are basically licensed receivers of stolen goods. After working several years in Oz auditing pawnbrokers and second hand dealers, the vast majority of goods pawned and sold are stolen. Not sure about Thailand but in Oz the person presenting the goods must produce ID and sign a declaration relating to ownership of the goods. Pawnbrokers obviously know that most of their goods are stolen, but to prove that is very difficult (need an admission or other evidence proving guilt). Police forces really need dedicated units who audit shops and check goods. Many don't and the gravy train of auctioned off stolen property continues everywhere.

Don't be quick to judge the pawnbroker. Thieves have to sell the goods somewhere, pawnbrokers are a logical choice, honest pawnbrokers take the goods then cooperate with the police to identify the individual. They are the ones who lose money on the deal since they usually cannot recoup their money from the thief (because s/he has already spent it). Dishonest pawnbrokers take the goods and tell the police they don't know anything about it. The police will have a good relationship with honest pawnbrokers which is probably how they cracked the case so quickly.
