Mr. Rosner says it is good to know that the weekend Thepprasit Market, at least music and DVD's, will now be available for sale next to the Dong Tang Police Substation. It is always comforting to know that the police are expanding their knowledge of English by watching western movies.

OH MY GOD, Counterfeit products are for sale at the markets in Pattaya? Say it isn't so! What is this place coming to?

imagine the horror these "disturbed" tourist experienced!

The Pattaya police were informed by disturbed tourists

Personally I am more concerned that we have "Disturbed Tourists" running about the town than a few copy CD's.

And when all the copied shit is taken off the shelves - all the tourists will be complaining Thailand is too expensive & will holiday in Vietnam instead.

Soundman.

I don't understand why the Pattaya Pol don't catch people show all the counterfeit items throughout the Beach Road (note: The P.P. Office is located on Soi 8 , just 1 min.walk to the Beach Road).

Another strange situation is Walking Street. There are a lot of people like to walk in the evening/night and everyone can see what the "shops" spotted... . What police is waiting for ? may a Farang's reports ?

Who is the master of pattaya puppets ?

I don't believe that this problem (counterfeit's markets) is in charge of small fishes....Copy vendors are the last ring of large organisations (good example is Pantip...)

Is it possible to find original CDs and DVDs in Pattaya?

Counterfeit products are a tourist attraction in Pattaya.

Of course you can find original CDs and DVDs in Pattaya tropo. Big C and Royal Garden Plaza includes Music & Movies shops that sell original items.

Are counterfeit products a tourist attraction in Pattaya ? yes, could be but I think tourist come to visit Pattaya with or without countrfeits item vendors.
