Used to stay at the Marriott in the middle of town and get up early to drive to all parts. There were some good seafood places along Walking Street and it was always fun to watch the tourists getting diddled by the ladyboys but I would imagine that will be all gone now. Not many fairgrounds look good in the daylight do they? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snoop1130 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Harley-Davidson Pattaya motorbike shop shooting was allegedly due to a conflict over vehicle reservation bill A shooting incident in which more than 10 gunshots were reportedly fired at the Harley-Davidson Pattaya motorbike shop early Tuesday morning was allegedly due to a conflict over a vehicle reservation bill, according to Pattaya police spokespeople and a person close to the situation. Police are hunting for four suspects who allegedly opened fire with more than 10 gunshots at the Harley-Davidson Pattaya motorbike shop before speeding away on motorcycles early yesterday morning (April 19th). Mr. Taksin Montontaksin, 44, a consultant from the HOG AAS Pattaya group (motorbike club) told The Pattaya News, “On April 19th, I was sleeping at night at my residence when several suspects fired gunshots into my house and my car not long before the same shooting at the Harley-Davidson shop around 4:00 A.M. Luckily, nobody was injured.” Keep up to date with all things Thailand - Join our daily ASEAN NOW Thailand Newsletter - Click to subscribe “I have had an ongoing problem with a group of people about a Harley-Davidson motorcycle reservation, in which someone pays a “down payment” before an order is taken for specific vehicles.” Taksin explained to TPN media. “This person is disappointed as they felt they waited for their motorbike for too long. They wanted an exception on having to pay the reservation bill for 10,000 baht. However, without this initial payment, it is impossible to secure an ordered motorbike. So I decided to pay the reservation bill for the person, however, they agreed to pay for the motorbike in full when the vehicle arrived.” Taksin explained.

Taksin (the guy who’s car, house and dealership was shot) needed a 10,000 baht deposit (very low), but the guys ordering the motorcycle wanted an exception (didn’t want to pay), so Taksin paid himself, then it took too long for the bike to arrive.... ... So they (the perpetrators of the shooting) were not owed any money, had not put down a deposit, but were annoyed it was taking too long. Is that about right ???.... got to be more to the story unless they are utter thugs. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 What a deposit for a new Harley? Well considering that it is fairly expensive, yes I would want to have a deposit up front as well. I hope to hear of 4 guys being hauled in front of a judge, for their actions. Unless Thailand is the new wild east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
