Pattaya-Pattaya Police and tourist police have stepped up overnight patrols on Beach Road following recent reports of theft from Indian tourists in the Pattaya area.

 

Early this morning, July 1st, 2022, patrols of police were seen walking up and down Beach Road while officials from the Pattaya Police Department promised to continue to keep the patrols running.

 

According to Police Lieutenant Thanaphat Klebe-Udom from the Pattaya Tourist Police, officers were interviewing “suspiciously” loitering individuals at random, especially transgenders, and ensuring they had no criminal history and questioning why these people were loitering in the area.

While they are at it they perhaps should do something to deal with all the drunk aggressive foreigners….  ????

What a good idea!  Maybe soon a police shift system will be introduced whereby the force works day & night to 'serve & protect.'

Indians are lining up, borrowing money to get to Pattaya to file a claim!  

[RanongCat]

why is when the news is getting more and more about the stolen gold the size of the necklaces is  getting bigger too?

I did a short walk along beach rd yesterday from Royal Garden to Walking Street and back and people kept whispering “weed coke ecstasy” at me.

The Indians are under attack.....not a cop in sight and as usual...no arrests.

Well.....you would obviously be surprised to understand the real wealth of many Indians.....they would shame the "cheap charlies" of Payyata:)

Is it hard to get to Payyata? I'm sure the poor still outweigh the rich.

Make Beach Road Indian free, problem solved.

Either Indian people outnumber tourists from other nations, or kathoeys especially prefers to rob Indians...

Gender profiling? 

 

Not very woke.

They serve and protect their own and their Sino-Thai masters. 

 

Just as it has always been and how they originated.

 

Fighting crime and serving the needs of ordinary people who are victims of crime is a Western concept, and must seem quite odd to them, that there are people who perform this role as a job overseas and not purely for profit.

Whilst I do love your sarcasm, there may be a sliver of truth in it?

I think I'd rather see Indians than thieving ladyboys!

Unbelievable - in Pattaya - prostitution???????

[brucegoniners]

I have a really stupid question. Why is it always "Indian tourists"? Are they just more prone to take Ladyboys?

Same reason (my opinion) that its usually Indians asking you on the phone about your recent accident and that there is a problem with your computer they can help you with.

These Indians are becoming a nuisance and drain on police resources.

 

I hardly recall an issue before they came, nor anyone else claiming a problem.

 

Maybe inform all Indians on arrival:  If you wear gold you will not be helped by police nor given a report for insurance claims

There most certainly was pre-Covid......the Indians were well known as being victim to every scam in the book....from the street necklace dipping to the spare katoey under the bed rifling through their pockets. 

They came across as very lacking in 'street wise'.

What they are after, of course they get something they do not. I have tried to warn a few here and there!
