The jet ski operator is as shocked about being arrested for that as we are!

Since when did the "rules" change?

[BoneRanger]

Attacks on tourists have been happening in this very same spot for years and years.

[ExPratt]

Great gig!

[ttthailand]

That will be 500 baht and don't do it again

[WitawatWatawit]

"The Pattaya Police Chief noted the suspect apologized for his actions to Mr. Kazemi but he was still charged with assault and awaits further legal proceedings."

So unfair. The dogboy apologised. He should have been rewarded with a community medal, but instead gets charged.

[HeijoshinCool]

Way to go Swede dude!

[StealthEnergiser]

Lucky he never took photo's the camera would have been smashed , nothing unusual here It has happened thousands of time but they rarely get caught.

Why do jet-ski and speedboat operators here usually look like a cross between a Sumo wrestler and a street thug? And that includes the women.

Whenever I see these people a cartoon light-bulb goes off in my head, alternately flashing "rip-off" and "danger", and I act accordingly.

[mrtoad]

When will they just ban these operators full stop?

That will be 500 baht and don't do it again

I'm sure the tourist police will be called to negotiate that down.

[HeijoshinCool]

Cop's looking out the window at his new Range Rover: Damn Swedes. How the hell am I gonna make the payment this month?

[sscsamui]

The Jet ski Thug Should be fined 100,000 plus Baht for his crime against the victim... And put behind bars for 6 months...

Then Just maybe he will think twice about his devious ways.... No he will not...

[Bkklocal]

Police are in on it, stand over tactics etc :

And here is the video

[realenglish1]

One way to avoid a scam like this is to NOT rent a Jet Ski

The second way is to take photos of the Jet Ski before riding it

and getting the renty to agree about what is or is not wrong with the Jet Ski

This should help a bit

Or just lock up the Jet Ski Rental guys

[ggt]

Can't a dishonest corrupt Jet Ski Operator make a dishonest living anymore?

[balo]

Someone should notify the mayor of Pattaya about this. According to him jetski scams is history in Pattaya.

[chaiyapoon]

Pattaya and Thailand would be better and safer place without rental jetskis

BAN THEM ALL

[12DrinkMore]

What happened to the compulsory insurance?

[Billy The Kid]

I nearly got the same when I told the three Indians to tell them to &lt;deleted&gt; off when I saw them being pressured to pay the damages on their jet skis .. Four out of ten gangs approached me with menace , I just had to flee .. Lol. That was in 2010 on beach just outside Mike Shopping Mall

[impulse]

That will be 500 baht and don't do it again

You forgot to say "please".

[IAMHERE]

Pattaya and Thailand would be better and safer place without rental jetskis

BAN THEM ALL

Make a 'law' that nobody is ever responsible for jet ski damage on a beach or near water.

[crusty]

I nearly got the same when I told the three Indians to tell them to <deleted> off when I saw them being pressured to pay the damages on their jet skis .. Four out of ten gangs approached me with menace , I just had to flee .. Lol. That was in 2010 on beach just outside Mike Shopping Mall

C'mon it is a known fact that historically Thais can't stand or trust Indians. They even have a well known proverb "when walking in the jungle and you come across an Indian and a cobra, kill the Indian first"

[tonysilly]

They are all scum bags. I would like to go jet ski one day before I die. Have to save up for damage money behire I go on.

[razer]

Another 500 Baht fine. Ban jet skis on public beaches and put the scum out of business.

[spidermike007]

Prayuth has been encouraging arrests, which is a good thing. The real question is, will he follow it up to make sure there are convictions, that one of the five or ten strong judges with integrity in the country are able to preside over the trial, and that the perpetrators serve actual prison time? Otherwise, the arrests are just a silly exercise, and the general is made to look weak. Enforcement without follow up is a bit akin to finding a hundred huge tunas in the sea, hundreds of kilometers from shore, but having no ice or source or refrigeration to keep them fresh. It is only a dream. It is only jawboning. It is a treasure at the end of the rainbow. The promise of justice is what most Thai people, and most farengs want. But, we all want it to mean something. Arrests without any sort of follow up iis meaningless. What real men do is commit action, not just speak of action. What real men do is follow up, not just make promises. What real men do is bring real improvement to their people and their countries.

[EyesWideOpen]

The money made on this scam must be staggering. The Pattaya police who are a part of
this scam, have to put up with a lot of heat and bad publicity from it, yet they keep on

allowing it to happen. So that clearly means they are in it up to their necks. If the police

wanted to , they could stop this scam in one day. Yet they choose not to. So figure it

out yourself what is happening here.....

[Monkeyrobot]

Where is the swede with the finger point??
