It's like when I lived in Detroit and almost nightly heard gangland gunshots going off in the hood. As long as it's just a bunch of "Caesars" fighting other Caesars and no collateral damage, no one really really gave a sht.

 

Call musk, he can fix all, forget laws etc.

Perhaps bringing in the birch to punish those guilty of some crimes might be the answer. Incarceration doesn't seem to be a deterrent.The same for my home country, England. My mother used to say to me " If you don't behave yourself you will end up in borstal and get the birch." I never did either. But the threat was there.

The local chapter of the Crips and Bloods after hour party...

I hope it didn't wake up those poor Indians sleeping on the beach !!

Seems the most innocuous place for a rumble is close to the Police station.

 

Gunshots however tend to disturb the on duty staff's sleep and may attract their attention.

I have no idea of which moron stated that Pattaya is a family resort but in my opinion it should be bulldozed into the ocean and start again.

It just gets better and better

What about the police shooting each other, 1 dead at a club in soi 80 Huahin early hours of the morning recently 

[Grumpy one]

No police were injured in this melee, they were all at home safely tucked up in bed

"He claimed the meeting was meant to be a peaceful discussion with a former friend, "Ice," who had distanced himself from their group."

 

It kinda of makes sense why the gang rivalries decided to meet close to the Pattaya police station for a "peaceful discussion". What could possibly go wrong? Who in their right mind would open up fire 50 meters away from the police station? A few phrases come to mind:  "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong",  "Common sense is not so common", "Never underestimate stupidity, stupidity knows no bounds and finally for our American Vets 'SNAFU ... Situation Normal All fu&$ed up".

I dont normally take my family out at 3 in the morning.

You should try it! Everywhere's closed at that time so it will be a cheap way of taking the tribe out!😁

My thinking too, and I don't care if rival groups of youths aka gangs kick the sh*t out of each other, but where guns are involved, the likelihood of stray bullets is worrying.

 

And 3AM in Pattaya still sees late-night revellers out having legal fun - they (sorry, we) shouldn't go in fear of being shot!

Why, I could stay in London for that! 🙄

Same for the US

A family friendly resort is not one where you cannot walk the streets at 3am due to possible violent incidents, even if one wouldn't take their family out at that time.

 

If someone was staying with their family nearby, and were awoken by the sound of fighting and gunshots, would you explain to them, "Don't worry, it's outside and you don't take your family outside at 3am, this is a family friendly resort!"?

It will all get better with the new TM6

only a homemade firearm

Who cares if it's home made or factory manufactured. Attempted murder is attempted murder - hope they do their job and put him away. Put all of them away for that matter, there's no inncent bystanders in these gangs of youths - today it's him, tomorrow it's another one.

Pah... backpackers from Europe were doing that on Greek beaches back in the 80s.
