Fake report!  I'm in Pattaya right now and there are no tourists to scare! ????

Don’t worry. I’m sure he’s not Thai and they will deport him. Sure can’t have this bad boy ruining Pattaya’s reputation. ????????

I heard on the radio the special equipment was a stick.

 

Doesn't sound like special equipment to me. 

 

The cops should have popped down to Mike's shopping mall and got a Taser, lots for sale. 

 

 

 

I know of at least 3 security guards at the Avenue.  Likely 10 Grab drivers, and more than 5 orange vested Thai motorcycle men there daily.

 

Would these guys react if their wives or girlfriends were threatened? 

 

One small Thai guy with a small knife?   Just trip him up from behind, then after he falls down take away the knife.
