The incident occurred on last night. The Pattaya Police were summoned to Walking Street in South Pattaya following reports of a foreign tourist causing a disturbance.

 

Upon arriving at the scene, they were met with the sight of the Israeli tourist, exhibiting disruptive behaviour and a lack of cooperation.

Send him home! Next flight!

Has he been called up as a reservist? 

Never know weed to make people aggressive, what else was he on? deport him.  

Give him a break, stressful time for sure

Perhaps fear of a scheduled  return  home and immediate call as a reservist overwhelmed the usual sedatory effects of thc  ?

I would certainly not be keen to face off with an enraged jihadist who has lost tolerance for witnessing the indiscriminate retaliatory killing of destitute occupants of a refugee camp by illegal military controllers .

He is said to be a tourist. Had his break already !

There is a pretty good chance he must return to Israel to fight the Hamas terrorists. Israel is doing its biggest reservist mobilization in their history and it includes Israelis abroad. 

But be that as it may, it sounds like he might have grounds for a mental deferment.

Why give him a break, when so many others suffer from Israel's policies on Palestine

Oh do be quiet, non-stop carping, you're like an old women.......... ????

He looks to be the age where he'll be handed a rifle and reservist marching orders when he debarks his plane.  Yeah - I could imagine that is stressful. 

Personally I would have opted for alcohol and dispensed with the pot.  I will agree that cannabis in sufficient quantities or of sufficient THC concentration will stoke paranoia.  Paranoid highs are no fun.

Could be he just learned some of his family and friends were killed? Could be many things. Who knows. Guess they'll clean him up, and kick him back to Israel. Embassy is sure to handle this.

Israeli Tourist Blames Marijuana and Stress About War in His Home Country for Shoplifting and Causing Havoc on Pattaya’s Walking Street

Pattaya — An Israeli tourist was arrested on Pattaya Walking Street last night for causing havoc and shoplifting from a convenience store.

According to Thai media reports, the man confessed to having smoked cannabis prior to the incident and blamed his erratic behavior on the stress stemming from the ongoing conflict between his home country, Israel, and Hamas as well as the effects of marijuana.

TPN media notes that there is no known scientific evidence that marijuana suddenly causes people to shoplift.

 

On Monday night, October 9th, Pattaya Police were alerted to a disturbance involving an international tourist on Walking Street in South Pattaya. They rushed to the scene to find an unidentified Israeli tourist acting in a very disruptive and uncooperative manner.

 

According to multiple eyewitnesses, the tourist had damaged property on Walking Street.

He may be suffering from feelings of national guilt but I doubt they have feelings except for themselves.

 

Yeah of course,  all the people who got crazy now in Thailand smoked weed. No it wasnt alcohol,  yaba, ice. No it was of course ganja. Weed is known worlwide to make people highly aggressive. Cant read that sh.. anymore.

yes I am sure vandalizing Thai peoples cars and property and stealing from a Thai business will pay back those horrid Hamas people.

Time to clean him up, get him sober, and then send him back on the next available flight.  Obviously no consuming of mind-altering substances until he clears Thai airspace.  Perhaps blacklisting him for five or more years would be a good idea as well.  

Thailand is becoming draft dodgers location of choice. I remember when yugoslavia war started I was in a night club in innsbruck could cut the tension with a knife ( many young men refugees from all over the slavic country) I hastily finished my drink and left as the bottles started to fly .I remember thinking if they hate each other why not stay at home and pick up a gun and fight on your own soil. I know bit off trail from Israeli shoplifter

For RUSSIAN draft dodgers that is.

I am happy to see RUSSIAN draft dodgers.

They are often people that have skills that Russia has lost and if they were mobilized one less body to commit genocide against Ukraine.

This is so true. Just say no to Reefer Madness propaganda. Ganja is a gift from the Gods.

Yep, just a nut, using excuses. in the promised land he would be considered a terrorist and dealt with in different ways.

Absolute nonsense! according to your comment it would be ok for everybody having a stressful time to freak out and behave irresponsible without facing consequences. Just give them a break, right.

Definitely letting his side down, but there is always a namby pampby who can’t man up and get on with doing what needs to be done. Get back home and fight for your country…like a man!

I guess that makes the massacre  of 260 young people at a dance festival, hundreds other innocent civilians pulled from there houses and shot dead- not forgetting hundreds of other civilians being kidnapped by Hamas OK then?

You seem to get carried away with your imagination, or experience on pot. The hippy generation smoking plenty of pot and drinking, didn't have any of those violent side effects, on the contrary.

He's in Thailand... what's to stress about.

He is a reservist in Israel citizen army … maybe dodging the call up …

kick him back to Israel.
