I was attacked by a foreigner about a month ago too. I sat down and he came to me and kicked me in my head. I had never seen that man before. I got payout of 20000 thb, but my CT scan and hospital bill was 13000. I still feel dizzy. He still walk free in Pattaya.

 

Be careful, Pattaya is dangerous.

That's really not good! It sounds like there's a rogue foreigner on the loose in Pattaya. He's possibly only like that from being stuck in a sterile emasculated western country for so long during covid and is feeling disoriented about what best to do in Pattaya. Luckily there's enough girls to go around for everybody even nutjobs and they should be competent enough to quickly relieve his pent up stress.

"The couple had also allegedly threatened to attack him again if they saw him. Mr. Aaron said after a few days of consideration he was afraid that the suspects were serious and would attack him again"

-----------------------

More to this story as he knew them FOR SURE!  if it was a stranger, why wait "4 days" afraid they would attack again?....where were they going to find him if he's a stranger?  Definitely more to it!!!

ain't that the truth. Most bargirls I've seen now days are easily enough, probably BMI nearing 40.

Waste of time reporting anything to the Pattaya police. 

 

Best to enjoy yourself, don't get drunk and stay under the radar, 

 

Too many foolish people, trouble makers.

If you have common sense it's quite easy to stay safe and have a good time.

Yes it is getting dangerous to text a (Friend) these days.

  Maybe the friend and her boyfriend were the attackers?

[jacko45k]

Last time I was in WS, some time ago it was scary looking, a bit desolate, and scruffy, holes to fall down and really offering no reason to be there. Here is more reason to avoid it, random attacks!

My neighbor, Dutch guy who had a Thai girlfriend for around 18 months.

She decided she wanted to end their relationship and get back with her previous bf. She started an argument and stormed out. They had never argued, only had a disagreement once or twice but it was sorted out with no hostility.

Anyway, he let it go for a month, didn't contact her, he was hoping she would message him saying sorry. 

He didn't receive any messages so he started to sms her (she blocked their Line account), he sent her 17 messages over 3 months, nothing nasty, just asking her out for a drink, beach, bars and restaurants. He told me the only negative comment was that her bottom was getting bigger and she should go to the gym. They live near each other and cross paths occasionally but she is rude and ignores my friend. 

After 17 messages (3 months) were sent his ex-gf went to the police, the police came to his house that morning of the complaint saying my mate needed to go to the police station to talk, at the police station the cops told him to stop with the messages or he would be in big trouble.

 

A few weeks later, my friend had to return a scooter he hired from the local rental shop (foreign owner).

The foreigner (shop owner) came to my mates house to pick up the motorbike and return the deposit, my friend let him in the front yard for inspection but wouldn't allow the bike to leave his front yard until his deposit was returned.

The rental shop owner phoned a Thai woman, she entered my friends property and took the bike with force. 

The shop owner and the Thai woman beat up my friend, lots of cuts and bruises (he had several cameras to capture the video). 

 

My friend went to the police station to report the crime, gave the cops details and address of the shop owner and video footage, the cops made a report and were given clear video of the assault, they told my friend to go to hospital and the police would be in touch. 

It's been several months since the assault, the cops have done nothing. 

 

I told my friend to go to the media/newspaper and make them aware of the situation. My friend replied saying, they won't be interested. 

 

My friend is the most peaceful, respectful human. I'm really p i s s ed off with this disrespectful attitude by the cops. 

 

I feel like going to my lawyer and asking my lawyer to help my mate.

I am think the foreign boyfriend of the 'friend' didn't like the American texting her.

That was my first thought.  Maybe thinking he's going to meet a hot girl just to get him to the location?

 

Definitely sounds like there is more to it.  Don't get involved with any girl unless you're 100% sure she's single.  These girls are dangerous.

Insurance claim?

[mikebell]

'Pattaya Police are checking CCTV footage nearby for further investigation.'  That's all they ever do.  Do they ever spot speedsters and red light runners during their daily viewing hours?  I thought not.

[Skallywag]

11:30 pm? if you dont have a girlfriend by then give it up and try tomorrow.  Night owls are asking for trouble if out and alone.  Many people financially devastated because of covid are out to prey on wealthy foreigners who come for holiday.  Happens in all vacation areas all over the world

[Peterw42]

Maybe people need to read the linked article,

 

"At this stage, Pattaya police believe the victim and the suspects have had previous personal problems"

 

Its not a random attack, they were not strangers.

[Will B Good]

He is a big lad......with his build I would have thought that someone minded to attack an innocent stranger would have the sense to move on to an easier target.....perhaps not a random attack.

Could be.  To go further down this road, texting is not just texting anymore with social media.

If you have a social media account, virtual strangers can message you and latch on to a girl (who has a social media presence and tries to remain polite and also informs these people she has a boyfriend/husband).

Many, feeling invincible behind keyboards/phones, get very disrespectful.  

Very easy to see someone who pushes too far being met in real life to find morally bankrupt choices can have consequences.

I never thought anyone here gets a speeding ticket. I googled that as a question The one response I did get was 70% of all the fines never are paid.

I am amazed she could resist your friend.  He obviously knows how to sweet talk the girls ????

Initially I thought this related to a commotion near the entrance of Walking Street a few days ago. I was behind the Police rushing to Walking Street. I heard "black guy" mentioned... But who was in the frame was actually a well built Thai girl. She tried to avoid them and to take a motorcycle taxi; but the police weren't having it. So she stated screaming and shouting and resisting. So they grabbed her legs and carried her to the pickup; still screaming and resisting. Even in the pickup she was fighting them. They had their special tools with them. Finally they had enough of her behaviour and one of the policemen jumped up on to the flatbed and put her down. Then they took her away to soi 9.

I guess she did something to a "black guy".. There was one at the scene who went over to take a picture of her. Didn't look like the person featured here.

He treated her very well. It was a 18 month relationship.

My description was very brief, just wanted for you to get the gist.

 

The point I'm making....in spite of everything, at all costs, avoid confrontation, the cops won't be there to help you.

No offense but your friend seems rather obtuse. First of all his dealings with his ex-GF can come across as borderline harassment by continuing to call her 17 times and never getting a response back. What doesn't he understand? It wouldn't have surprised me to hear that he got an ### kicking from the ex-bf she went back to. Second of all the details are pretty vague as to why he was having the problems receiving back his deposit on the bike. I'm not saying he deserved a beatdown, but you got to wonder.

[Sparktrader]

Go home by 11pm. Nothing good after that.

I'll keep it simple. 

 

1. Cops help Thai girl instantly, no delay and drop everything after getting harassed by sms messages. 

 

2. Cops ignore foreigners assault and battery, theft, unauthorized entry.

Good. Continuing to send messages that are not answered, including personal comments on the woman’s body, constitutes harassment.

That tells me all I need to know about your friend. No wonder she blocked him
