Pattaya City Police, working with municipal special operations officers, detained 22 foreign youths in the early hours of the 4 June, after they were found armed and gathering near a popular tourist area, raising concerns for public safety.

 

At approximately 03:05, Pol. Col. Anek Srathongyu, Superintendent of Pattaya City Police Station, was alerted by Pattaya Special Affairs officers to a large group of foreign youths assembling at the skate park near Bali Hai Pier, South Pattaya, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. The group was reported to be heavily armed, prompting fears they may be preparing to cause a disturbance or engage in violence.

 

Upon arrival, officers encountered 22 male individuals claiming to be of Cambodian, Burmese and Karen ethnic origin. A search of the area uncovered more than 10 concealed weapons, including sparta-style blades, sickle-like knives and homemade knives with black tape-wrapped handles. These were hidden around the skate park in what authorities believe was an attempt to avoid detection while preparing for a possible violent confrontation.

Fortunately, the authorities were able to intervene in time, preventing any incidents from occurring. A preliminary check revealed that only a few of the individuals were able to produce valid identification documents. Ten motorcycles found at the scene were also seized for inspection.

 

The group was taken into custody and transported to Pattaya City Police Station, their identities and legal status are being verified. Police are conducting background checks and processing the confiscated weapons and vehicles. Those found to be in violation of Thai law will face legal proceedings.

 

The arrests took place just a short distance from Pattaya’s well-known Walking Street. Officials emphasised that the swift action by Pattaya’s Special Affairs unit and local police prevented a potentially dangerous incident and underscored the importance of maintaining strict security in tourist zones.

 

Investigations are ongoing, and authorities have reiterated their commitment to ensuring the safety of both residents and visitors in the city.

I've noticed a huge rise in violent crime and entitled attitudes amongst mostly foreigners. The weed shops and ease of visas has attracted the scum of The Earth and are the 2 main reasons for the switch. Violence on a daily basis in Phuket & Pattaya. You only have to look on Tik tok and twitter to see all these Ibiza rejects and Nazis posting their bile and hate while being off their heads on dope...with 1,000s of followers of the same ilk being bombarded with the idea anything goes, what can you expect

there's no question this "border war" defintitely brings out the Cambodian hate online.   Nationism is probably second only to family, and for some it's number 1.   I didn't think about possible terrorist actions here, even though Bangkok has been bombed in the past a few times over.....i'll have to google it.   

On 17 August 2015, a bombing took place inside the Erawan Shrine at the Ratchaprasong intersection in Pathum Wan District, Bangkok, Thailand,^[2][3] killing 20 people and injuring 125.^[1] Thai police were reported to have arrested two suspects, the second of whom confessed to having been the bomber. He later retracted his confession.

Prior incidents

[edit]

Prior to this bombing incident, there were two other bombings in Thailand in the same year. In February 2015, two bombs exploded on the Siam BTS Station outside the nearby Siam Paragon shopping mall, injuring three people. The attack was believed to have been politically motivated.^[4] In April 2015, a car bomb exploded in Ko Samui, injuring seven.^[5]

 

yea, OK, being Cambodian or Burmese or Karen in Thailand might be like being asian in America during that wuhan thing that made everyone go crazy.   

 

avoid Bangkok, note.  no Pattaya. OK.  no Phuket, OK.  prob. no Chiang Mai.  check.   

 

basement, jungle, one beer Laos.  NO!!!  Beer Singh.   must support LOS.

In this case it appears they were from a nearby country and likely not tourists so your comments not really associated with the topic.

Of course there were no Thai youth gangs who are heavily armed being singled out.

Whatever but this article is about 22 "foreign" youths with machetes, I think my point and my original reply was relevant to the upsurge in violence...unless that is too complex for you to understand
