The police needs to do more to make tourists and inhabitants of Pattaya feel safe as safe can be. The top brass needs to give a "pep talk" to its forces not to slack off or get bribed. Oh, I am asking for too much. If the gang gets 10 years in prison it may deter others. Sometimes the deterrence effect works.

Is it my observation or am I being biased but whenever a foreigner gets pinged for being a naughty boy (Or girl) then the photos seem to be so much better. ie they have good lighting and generally always show the "guilty bastards" face. But when the naughty boys are local people then the light fades and faces are generally hidden.

What gives...maybe its a case of "Loss of face"

Ok I'll grab my coat.....

Don't know about that, but it's the first time I've seen blurred faces on these police station photos. Maybe it's the newspaper doing the blur.

okay so they have been arrested, so what ?

new talents will happily take over "the business" and continue....... things will never get better there.....
