Tarnishing the image of a turd is hard to do' but they have achieved it with flying colors in Pattaya🤔

Another one that has probably never been there...Jomtien is not Pattaya...they are in the same province of Chonburi but two different places 👍

@Kinok Farang if you continue with your bigoted and racist comments you can expect another posting holiday.

A shocking incident in Jomtien has sparked widespread discussion on social media after a video emerged showing a man chasing a foreign tourist, with a large knife in broad daylight.

 

The language always amuses me with these people. If this was a foreigner there would be a nation wide manhunt underway. 

 

Pattaya this IS your reputation. Who are you trying to kid.

 

What a joke.

Concerned for her own safety and that of her female passengers, she honked her horn in an attempt to deter the aggressor. She later shared the footage in a social media group as a warning, stressing that such behaviour damages the city's image and instils fear among tourists.

The world understands what happens in Pattaya, only TAT believe it still has an image

[GammaGlobulin]

Yet another one, run amok....

I never had a real all-out fight or argument with Thai strangers in Thailand or foreigners in just under 10 years.....go back to UK in one of the 'safest areas' in my city and end up in a street fight across two roads with a nutter on booze and drugs defending chick I was on a date with.....haha.

 

UK has always been dreadful for violence around most high streets. Back in the day especially at chucking out time. But even today some towns have ambulances park on stand by near the high street because they'll be needed by the evening's over.

 

I feel far safer in Thailand. Only ever once had a potentially violent confrontation - with the tuktuk tossers in Phuket. Don't go there any more anyway.

 

Pattaya? - never a problem.

Not always... well not always for us older guys. I agree in Thailand far less likely... often if you get a slapping here, it was deserved!

It's a coconut 🥥 vendor high on drugs chasing a coconut who was also high on drugs... in family destination Pattaya... 

[Classic Ray]

I wonder how the aggressor in a full face crash helmet was identified as a Thai, instead of any other nationality.

 

Also, how about the victim, how do we know he was a foreigner?

 

Maybe the answers are in the video, I haven’t bothered to watch it, nationalities irrelevant anyway.

In Soi Post-office many years ago, I saw a Falang walking along the sidewalk get hung up on some ropes coming from the food vendors carts. He caught them around his neck and got angry and started pulling them all down until a food vendor chased him with a large knife. He ran into the HASH bar I was drinking at...none of the Falangs in the bar were going to help him. 

If you want to cause trouble with the food vendors then you sort out the problem.

 

If it was many years ago, I doubt that these were the same people, so it was probably a different reason for the chase.

This is Jomtien ...not Pattaya you need to learn how to read maps

Same thing, suburb of Pattaya. 6 foreigners died in 2 months.

I thought The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) was supposed to be monitoring all foreigners in the country now (Big Brother/Gestapo style) ?
https://aseannow.com/topic/1352541-internal-security-operations-command-isoc-to-monitor-foreigners in-thailand/

Surely they must have seen the incident.

Oh wait - they are only concerned about foreigners committing crimes, not locals committing crimes against foreigners.

Obviously did something to provoke him.

A lot of foreigners speak down to Thais 

I was wondering when the first "blame the foreigner" would appear, so you try to justify the knife... 555

Doesn't seem to promote the "Family friendly" narrative

Calling Pattaya a "Family Friendly" place must be a joke! LOL! Its a place for all the drunks, prostitutes, thieves and mad people from all around the world! That place is a magnet to all criminal elements in the land! Easy targets everywhere!😂🤣

Jomtien - is a southern suburb of Pattaya, and it's the best beach in city. Yes, this is the same scrapyard as the main beach of Pattaya, but a bit nicer and cleaner. Dongtan Beach is part of a larger Jomtien Beach, and it is notable for a large gay community.

Jomtien is part of the Pattaya municipality.  Any services there come from Pattaya.  It is Jomtien beach, Pattaya.

Some people have the impression that it is upper scale to Pattaya central they like to make the point they are from Jomtien.

Ever cruise up and down the lower Sois of Jomtien?  Some of the worst, filthy, rat infested, probably drug infested slums anywhere.  Add, the vacant condo shells and now the one way road to nowhere never thought much of the place.

chasing tourists with machete's is not very ' family friendly '  .....   unless it was the MIL  

[Kenneth White]

As I said in the article "Krackdoowm on foreigners" by police and other agencies. You are playing the blame game and have put a target on our backs.

Holy 💩!

 

Don't piss off a Thai.

Been to every major Thai city. Sad you don't know a city from a suburb. You might as well say Kata is not part of Phuket. 

[Evolare]

What's the culturally appropriate thing to do in this situation should I hit the guy with the knife with my car or should I blame the tourist as he obviously must have done something to upset this concerned local? 😲

Or should I just take a picture of it and share it on social media for likes? 🔪 📱
