Meanwhile 30m across the road tourists are getting ripped off and held to ransom by the Jet Ski Mafia. Glad to see that one arm of law enforcement is working.................

The Economic and Cyber Crime Division of the Royal Thai Police Region 2 have arrested a vendor in front of the Royal Garden Plaza on Pattaya Beach who was reportedly selling a selection of branded counterfeit items.

and what about the other 1000 Plus vendors selling exaclty the same thing?

arrests like these make these police divisions look stupid !!

Also to note, why do they never take the pictures at the scene of the crime like the other crimes ? or are they carful as in the background maybe 20 people will be doing the same but are all payed up ?

why won't the brand owners realise that people who buy cheap street copies cannot afford the real deal anyway. it is just free promotion for them

I'm shocked, horrified and deeply offended that there would be, in Thailand, a country founded on jai di and jai sabai, any possibility of the counterfeiting of branded items.

I'm so upset that I may write a letter to city hall. I'm sure that will fix up this obviously isolated and regrettable incident.

I saw the police a few days ago arrest a very old man with one arm and he has small barbecue and cooks and sells dried fish so he can survive .

Pattaya police put hours and hours in chasing these vendors and letting the real crooks off the hook . I wonder why

No need to write a letter, city hall has a hot line, big signs advertising it on suk road, called them once, no answer.
