Report Foreign Tourist's Outburst in Pattaya Sparks Theft Scare, Highlights Mental Health
Picture courtesy of Pattaya police In South Pattaya, a department store was plunged into disarray yesterday after a foreign tourist's erratic behaviour led to fears of shoplifting. Pattaya City Police were dispatched following reports of a suspected theft, only to find the individual in the throes of a mental health crisis rather than committing any crime. Eyewitnesses recounted the scene: the tourist was loudly speaking and wandering aimlessly, sparking suspicions among staff and shoppers. However, after police arrived and assessed the situation, it became clear the man required medical assistance, not police custody. He was subsequently transported to Pattaya Hospital for immediate psychiatric care by rescue teams. Police Colonel Anek Sarathongyoo, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police, underscored the importance of proper assessment in such incidents to prevent misunderstandings, assuring the public of their ongoing commitment to safety. Recent events in Pattaya have highlighted challenges with foreign visitors. Last week, a confrontation outside a convenience store saw two British men paying 15,000 baht in damages after a road altercation with a local motorcycle taxi rider. The dispute escalated when rubbish was thrown from a vehicle, leading to a scuffle that went viral online. In another instance of misconduct, a Chinese couple was apprehended after being caught having sex on a public footpath near Pattaya's Walking Street. The couple, who admitted to recording the act for pornographic purposes, now face charges of public indecency and unlawful filming. These incidents collectively emphasise the ongoing issues Pattaya faces with certain foreign visitors, straining local patience and resources. For any emergencies, citizens and tourists can contact Pattaya City Police at 082-7999-111 or dial 191, available around the clock. The identity and nationality of the foreign man involved in the department store incident remain undisclosed. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-05-06 -
