Fried Insect Vendors caught with knives on Pattaya Beach

PATTAYA:--Pattaya Police arrested four Fried Insect Vendors on Pattaya Beach early on Monday Morning after a search uncovered two long knives.

Police were made aware of the men by passers-by who spotted the knives in their possession. Officers made their way to the old pier, located close to the entrance of Walking Street, just after 4.20am and confronted the four men who initially were found not to be in possession of the knives they were alleged to have been seen with moments earlier.

A search of the surrounding area uncovered the deadly weapons which the men eventually confirmed belonged to them. Police asked them why they felt the need to carry the weapons and they claimed that an earlier confrontation with a man, known only as “Ter”, left them in fear of their lives

Fried Insect Vendors on Pattaya Beach armed with samurai swords. There must be something in the drinking water in Pattaya, that officials should investigate.

QUOTE:"Police were made aware of the men by passers-by who spotted the knives in their possession." For passers-by read plain clothes police. Who else would be so persistent in their intent to report these individuals to the police?

There's a considerable under-cover - plain clothes police presence in Pattaya. Just the other day a Thai woman - Saturday last - a Thai woman walked her dog - several times - around the restaurant/bar my wife and our friends and about twenty other customers were seated in Soi (?) Chalermprakiat. I thought I recognized her as a police officer. Was the dog sniffing for drugs? i had my suspicions but nobody else in the bar seemed to bat an eyelid.
