Another fine article! First poor sentence structure. Then the victim, being a foreigner is fully identified, but the perpetrator and the jet ski owner are identified as Khun and a last name (or possibly a first name) only... Amazing reporting! Why bother? The full article doesn't say anything more either... But, I guess a picture is "worth a thousand words?"

The picture of the person wanted looks very very similar to a person i have seen many times working for a jet ski operator on pattaya beach. and driving jet skies

I could be wrong but he looks familiar .
