webfact Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Debt Collector kidnap Vietnamese Flower Seller on Pattaya Beach PATTAYA: -- In a case of mistaken identity, a group of debt collectors, working for a syndicate of illegal money lenders, kidnapped a Vietnamese Flower seller in the early hours of Wednesday, thinking he was one of a group of Cambodian Flower Sellers, who owe the lenders money.The 6 men aged between 20 and 26 were sent out to round-up a group of Cambodian Flower Sellers who operate on Pattaya Beach who owe the Lenders money. Instead of kidnapping the Cambodians they took a Vietnamese Flower Seller, Mr. Nguyen Van Tu aged 34, who was forced into a Toyota Minivan in an attempt to scare him into paying outstanding debts with the Lenders.Eventually the men realized they had taken the wrong man and released him.Full story: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/114384/debt-collector-kidnap-vietnamese-flower-seller-on-pattaya-beach/-- Pattaya One 2014-01-08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 No mention of kidnapping members of the group of flower sellers that owe money so I guess they are fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just as a matter of interest, even though it was the wrong target, how does the Vietnamese stand now with work permit issues with the police? Or would that just be a Labour office thing? Same would apply to the Cambodians if they were asked to provide statements. Seriously wondering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Do any of the Cambodians and Vietnamese even have visas as how can they possibly get work permits to sell flowers? Can foreign beggars now get work permits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJack Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 isnt kidnapping a criminal offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 isnt kidnapping a criminal offense? Depends. Obviously its a criminal offense for poor people but for well-to-do, those with connections, or the police, of course its not a criminal offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously wondering Obviously the ASEAN free trade and labour market liberalization rules apparently cover flower sellers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
