Good to see Pattaya's finally attracting some high end Thais to raise the tone of the place a bit.

anyone have details of what actually happened?

[Changian]

^ These were the sons of influential people, so technically nothing happened and you won't find anyone to say otherwise.

heh. it is a strange scene. the non connected youths don't look too affluent. were these young power makers aligned together or against one another. that is a pretty big gun. most be an interesting story at the bottom.

Being accused of being gang leader (no law against it), Expelling??? a weapon (no law against it) Police probably would have more luck clamping their vehicles, if they want to inconvenience the little sh.ts.
