Paid for from the cut of the "repair costs" negotiations.... [emoji383]

have you noticed that altho they could have put that box anywhere they had to knock the end off one of the few seats on the beach to put it there. it seems the scammers at Mikes are having a hard time, half pint has had to move up to soi 13/2 to try and find fresh victoms

so city hall, instead of ending the scam, have set up an office were people can pay without the tourist police being involved at all, this is the first time I have seem a public office set up to run a scam but TIT

No. I'm sure that is an office where the jet ski owners can file the insurance claims.

After all, the Deputy Mayor said all jet skis must be registered and insured.

Today is the deadline (again) for all the jet skis to carry mandatory insurance.

Looking for volunteers to go crash a jet ski to test out the new insurance coverage.

I think the Farang is going to have to pay the deductible on the insurance claims...

I think the deductibles should run between 10,000 to 30,000 Baht

per claim...

You can always get a police officer to help you negotiate a lower

deductible to pay the jetski owner.

Just dont use jetskis at all

Police is a part of the scam in most cases.

My bro visited me in patts. I told him stay away from jet skis.

He went to Larn with gal

Got scamed for 10k if a remember they demanded more...

Thai girl called cops they were making videos and cop id photos.

Still dint help. Paid 10k

10min later they were showing same scratch to russians and demanding 30k

looks like there are 3 permenant officers manning that office so I guess business is good

About a year ago, Police announced a 24/7 special police patrol along the beach. Officers dressed in orange shirts. Anybody see them?

"Officers dressed in orange shirts and caps will patrol the Pattaya Beach area 24 hours a day in an effort to reduce crimes, especially those that involve Tourists. Checkpoints in three areas along the 2km stretch of Pattaya Beach from North Pattaya to the entrance of Walking Street will be set up."

I too noticed the "Jet Ski Dispute" box opposite the police station. It makes for a pretty good definition of irony.

That box must be the insurance company office. Since there are multiple claims each day totalling 200,000Bt or 300,000Bt it makes sense to put an insurance office next to the beach.

Right. Don't support scammers. Nowhere. Problem solved. So easy.

Same old same old - all talk and never any action by the "authorities". TIT coffee1.gif

What Insurance Company in their right mind would under write a policy on these scumbag Jet Ski operators,their time would be wasted on a daily basis trying to stop the operators from scamming the insurance companies,but,maybe before too long,the Insurance companies will be complaining to City Hall about being scammed!...Time will tell!.....TIT.

Certainly the insurance agent is in on it too.

Go check next month to see how many claims are filed.

I will bet zero.

To determine which one is the guilty party....same as with car insurance.
