Jomtien municipal officers were called into action on April 30th to address reports of a foreign man behaving suspiciously along Jomtien Second Road in Pattaya. Initially, the situation seemed manageable, with the individual amicably interacting with officers and pedestrians. However, tensions rose when the man unexpectedly took off running, leaving both residents and authorities concerned.

 

Local residents have increasingly voiced their unease over the man's erratic actions. One witness reported seeing him talking to himself earlier that morning, while another claimed he attempted to chase a dog with apparent harmful intent. These incidents have compounded fears, particularly as some locals assert that this isn’t the first occurrence of such behaviour.

 

 

 

In response, Jomtien municipal officers and the police have reassured the public of their commitment to closely monitor the situation to maintain community safety. The strange incidents have fueled a significant public discourse, with many online commenters calling for stricter visa regulations and tougher measures against foreign nationals who could compromise safety.

 

The growing public concern highlights the need for effective communication and intervention strategies by local authorities to handle such issues sensitively while ensuring the protection of the community. As investigations continue, residents hope for a resolution that will alleviate their fears and restore a sense of security in the area.

Foreigners? In Pattaya, foreigners should probably be considered one of the main groups like Ruski and Brit  who I often see around. A slim body might also mean the person is bald, and as for flip flops, I’ve often seen Brits wearing them outside.

I'm not a big fan of resetting the visa-exempt stamp to 30 days, but I guess this will happen before the end of June at the latest. It seems like the agenda, and it was the earthquake that set things back (no pun intended) a little bit. That earthquake was crazy.    Seems like Thailand can use all the tourist money it can get, and nothing super crazy has happened (yet).  Dude with his shirt off running is strange, but not visa changing.   Last year at a few border crossings I saw zero farangs.  zero.   No idea the perfect number of days/months, but longer seems better and just do a better job monitoring with the smart cars.   Maybe much harsher penalties for overstay.

No problems like this a few years ago before they allowed weed and 60 day entries. Ban weed and ban it quickly

Yes please, implement an entry fee of 1000 Baht. Cash only.

I would like to go off topic and ask a question..

When did the Brits lose their super cool,I think It started way back in the good old days about mid sixties to early seventies?

May the mods could move this to appropriate forum for discussion.

[factual monk]

Thank god just a concern and not an outrage...

Ignorant comment. Cannabis induces calm not aggression. More likely this guy was on both meth and alcohol.

No it does not. You really need to educate yourself...maybe read about cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and see the effects it has...but I suppose being a dopehead, dippy hippy trippy and ganga man you won't get past page 1...

here's an easy chart of symptoms: not the sort that would provoke 400 meter dash, ya think? All the nausea might make difficult to sort of your average over drinker.... I don't smoke pot anymore... quit in 1985, used to smoke when that could get you 5 years in jail.

"I suppose being a dopehead, dippy hippy trippy and ganga man you won't get past page 1."You are a fine example of resorting to loutish insults when you run out of evidence. Uncalled for. Learn some decorum.

Excuse me ole boy,..look at who slung insults at me first...go read the thread, I await your apology 

[Patong2021]

60 day visa has nothing to do with this.

There is an easy solution. Ask him to leave the country within 48-72 hours

[Magictoad]

This has just become a thread for people to demonstrate their racist attitudes. Anti Arab  Anti  Anti Anti Brit  & Anti weed the latter being anti Russian. Isn't it time for the moderators to close down racist threads? The guy wherever he came was obviously a nutter - wearing a cats head in this heat!

WTF does being slim have to do with being bald? 

As for often seeing Brits wearing flipflops outside, what are you on about?   They are for wearing outside, why would you wear them indoors?   And every nationality wears them, especially the Thais.

That is just stupid medical propaganda with no relationship to reality. Where did you get it from? A baptist picnic? It's nonsense.
