Link works for me - but your right: Groundhog Day.

I have noticed Jomtien beach is getting full of ladyboys at night, some of them very pushy as well, particularly if your on your own

why do they always leave the pimp/drugdealers behind?

I guess it's too much like hard work for our illustrious BIB / TPV / FPV etc..

Perhaps because of that little thing called Tea Money.

Why is this news? Happens so regularly. 100B fine means nothing to them they will be back on the prowl the next night. Waste of time!! All it was was 500B tea money for the police. If they were really serious and wanted to do something positive about it they would throw them all in a cell for 7 days and only released after payment of a legitimate fine of 5,000B.

Glad they were all warned not to comit any crimes against tourists................................................lol

WOW, 100 baht fine, that'll really put them off repeat offending - not!

Congratulations for accomplishing nothing other than getting your daily tea money.

Removing 50 hookers from the beach is like removing 50 grains of sand.

Here is an idea... just cut down more trees. That will solve the problem.

I washed the dishes today....... guess I'll have to do it tomorrow again, and the day after tomorrow and......

Good to see they are worried about crimes on tourists, and not harassing those misunderstood people who provide jet ski rides for tourists.

Thank the Lord

It's a tax.

Yep, Groundhog Day sums it up perfectly.

How did they establish who are prostitutes and who are toursits? I can tell you that not all sitting on the chairs and sand are prostitutes, especially during the day. And not all of those Russian and Eastern European women walking around looking aling the beach are legitimate tourists. Not all of those thai men seemingly waiting for their friends are what we may think they are, and the noodle sellers are not necessarily only concerned with selling noodles.

Maybe removing the bad birds from a group that many visit that city of sodom, sorry, Pattaya specifically for would help improve the sparkling image of the grand city...
