SAFETY FIRST Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) 13 hours ago, georgegeorgia said: The question is have you ever been physically attacked by a foreigner or Thai in Pattaya ? Was it your fault or you never ever ever had any problems If it wasn't for some of the foreigners, Pattaya would be the best place to live. No issues with Thai's. I often see foreigners in their car or on their motorbikes blasting the horn yelling abuse, being rude and childish. Lots of middle aged and elderly riding their bikes at speed, without helmet and shirtless. Shirtless, full of tattoos, it's a shame that they never spent some of their tattoo money on gym membership. I reckon if a foreigner gets attacked by a Thai he deserves it. I'd like to give the odd foreigner a belting. Pattaya attracts the strangest people.

Jeff the Chef Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 No, I just smile politely at the first sign of trouble and walk away, didn't use to but with age comes knowledge and experience. Better to be a live coward than a dead hero and I'm a lover not a fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henryford Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) I feel very safe walking around Pattaya but on the roads is a different matter. One Thai guy threatened to shoot me because i beeped my bike horn at him. Edited October 19, 2023 by Henryford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol , strangely you say that Back in July I saw a farang driving a Rent a car blasting his horn all the way to Jomtien at motorbikes exiting from side streets At the traffic lights he is in a slanging match with a Thai lady driving a Mercedes Benz,shouting thru his window that he had more money than her ,crazy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just exist in darkest Isaan wishing that you could, but the wife won't let you. So you take it out on those of us that love Pattaya. I've been here getting on 17 years and wouldn't live anywhere else in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another stupid post, I have never even as much as threatened any Thai's with violence in the 16 years or so that I have been here. You can make your point sometimes without even saying a word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Nothing much... some OTT reactions usually from drunk farangs, or those on exotic substances. If you go out looking for trouble, you will certainly find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I got kicked in the head by a foreigner a few years ago, while I was sitting down drinking ice tea. I thought he came over to say hi, but he kicked me in my head similar to a free kick in soccer. I got a measly 20k THB, while my medical exam was about 13k, and the police in the station wanted 5k just to open the case. I'm pretty sure the assailant also paid the police to let it go. I contacted a bunch of lawyers and all of them told me let it go. One big law firm wanted 30k THB just to attend the police meeting for two hours. I will never report anything to the police again. A month ago in Jomtien three thai guys on a Honda wave came from behind of me, and tried to get my phone. They pulled my arm, and I strained my shoulder fighting them off. It was directly below a 360 surveillance camera. I went to the police station and tried to report it, but because I didn't let them take my phone police weren't interested at all, and was even laughing at me." I've had multiple motorbike helmets stolen, my mirrors broken, my motorbike tipped over, a fat unknown girl punch me in the balls. I never drink, am never rude to anyone and no drugs. Pattaya is full of drunks and drugged up people, anything can happen. I have walked around Pattaya and Bangkok regularly for the last 16 years and never had a problem with anyone, maybe because I don't drink, am never out after 10 at night, and don't frequent bars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwebb8825 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Had my brand new Ericson stolen off my belt while riding a motorcycle by 2 wannabe Thai thugs on their bike back in '02 and most recently, had some disturbed Russian steal our laundry and throw it in the trash for no apparent reason.

I'd picked up a girl whose 'boyfriend' (back in the UK) happened to have a friend in the bar spying on her.....the 'boyfriend' instructed his mate to attack me......but like any sensible coward I wormed my way out of it. And how were you to know? Assuming she didn't tell you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
