Amazing Thailand! The police can arrest 3 vendors (amongst thousands) who are allegedly 'scamming' big business by selling these counterfeit products. To my mind they don't actually harm big business at all, quite the opposite, they sell cheap products which the buyers know are fakes but which promote the 'big business' name all the same. The buyers are not the people who would pay 10 or 20 times the price to buy the original article (at doubtfully 10 or 20 times the quality!), if it wears out quickly they will not complain to Lacoste or Boss or whoever about the lack of quality they will just go and buy another cheap one and all the time they walk around providing free advertising to whatever 'name' it is they are wearing.

At the same time the real scammers renting out Jet skis on the beach are helped by the police as they daily rip off visiting tourists. It's time you sorted out your priorities Pattaya!!

me thinks the numero uno priority in Pattay (and everywhere else in LOS for that matter) is to make a baht by whatever means possible

doubt that will be changing anytime soon.

I might be a cynic but might i suggest that the vendors arrested might have forgotten to grease the right wheels :whistling:
