One of the tiny minority of tourists that the Pattaya police come through for. Do they know how lucky they are?

No unusual for Patts police to be involved in crimes against tourists.

I think 3 years in prison, deportation and a life ban from entering Thailand should be fair.

We don;t need criminals from other countries, we already have enough Thai criminals.

In Britain ,they would be "pour victims of hard times" given a harsh talking too and sent to the nearest social security office by the dopy left wing idiots in charge.

Taking a wife or girlfriend to Pattaya is totally irresponsible.

The crime capital of Thailand is not a suitable family holiday destination, it is geared up for sex-pats and is populated by the most undesirable elements from the underclass of International societies.

As you can see from the photo, the lady does not look amused but rather in shock and is a place better off avoided. People that decide to visit Pattaya do so at their own risk and discretion.

What utter rubbish ,i take it that if you have ever been here all you do is troll around walking street and soi 6 . we live in the "real" Pattaya ,and rarely ever go near those parts of town , most of Pattaya and the darkside are far nicer .

Slander, libel, defamation. I will sue you... English language news, only see the bad; we also have official extortion for your vacation experience, drug administration by lovely ladyboy nurses, exciting intimidation by our Pattaya pros for your adventure holiday!

See, this is how balanced reporting is done. The Mayor khun Talksalot.

Wives are ok. Its people taking children to pattaya that is disgusting. Children do observe and are easily influenced.

In Finland they would be given therapy on top of this going through this traumatic experience of being arrested by right wing nazi police officers. Their names, nationality etc. would not be published and most likely this would not be reported in the newspapers anyways.

I lived in Pattaya Klang for over one year, before I moved to Chiang Mai for exactly the sentiments expressed above. Yes, there are pleasant areas to live, but without motorised transport, I had to choose a more central condo apartment. My favourite and cheapest farang restaurant was 18 Coins in Soi Buakhao - yes I could avoid the girlie bars and massage parlours, but it was in my face along with a multitude of undesirables who traversed my path.

So to those who think I am stupid, never saw the upper class side, I didn't have the necessary to enjoy such a lifestyle. Chiang Mai is so much more civilised, and I'm glad I'm out of the pits part of Pattaya.

Was not Robert the Bruce the man who said "If at first you don't succeed, try try again"?

I still enjoy a visit to Pattaya and used live near there in Jomtien.It is true though that it attracts the worst of both Thai and Farang .I never found it dangerous ,but my Girlfriend of the day did get her bag snatched while she rode on the back of my motorcycle .I also got an expensive phone stolen while entering a bus in Bangkok.So far after 4 years in Chiang Mai ,i have nothing bad to report.

Well you started off OK. I mean who would take their wife/GF to Patts. Coals to Newcastle comes to mind.

Then came the drivel OH Dear. Obviously a well travelled international jet setter in the know.

In Australia this pair of thugs would get a severe thrashing with a wet lettuce leaf and if they did it again it would be with a dry lettuce leaf...and they'd be able to get the dole and social services.

How good and proper we foreigners are that we have never, or even considered, committing a crime in other people's countries.

I can say with hand on heart ,that whilst there is of course crimes committed in Thailand it is by far one of the safest countries I have ever been in.

At least......my flower pots are always still there in the morning where I left them the night before. I don't have to go looking for them (or my tools) in the following Sunday's market been sold for a few pence.

Be careful, no doubt you will get abused by Pattaya lovers. I made a comment on a previous article about Pattaya and all I got was personal attacks by sexpats.

so let me get this right, you get upset that you get abused for calling someone a sexpat, like you just did then?? So then Einstein, what do you know about my life that makes you believe I am a Sexpat??

Part that got my attention was policeman out on patrol. Now that is news! What a radical concept!

Cambodians should know certain 'professions" are reserved for Thais only.
