Thai Police find South Korean Man Beaten to Death in Chon Buri Resort

[ozyjon]

I've lived, worked, been in relationship with Koreans,

knowing what i know they borrow heavily and if not

able to pay,, they run, this story doesn't surprise

me one bit, i feel sorry for the family though. RIP

The Korean Mafia would not logically travel to Thailand to beat someone to death. It, of course, cannot be Thais that did it.

No Thai would do such a thing !

Well...let us say that he actually was Korean mafia, as alleged, then I would surmise not many people would sympathize very much.

If he was not mafia and he was beaten to death by the mafia or who ever ....then RIP to the man.

Cheers

Interesting that the post deliberately tries to avoid using the word "Pattaya" as the scene of the crime. Bad for tourism I expect

because the crime occurred in bang la mung near the port, which is Chonburi province

The Koreans have their own district on Sukhumvit road Bangkok......Korea Town. Being only 25 ,i would say its highly likely he was whacked by Koreans who came down the highway or even took a quick flight from Korea....easy. The yakuza wont think twice about sending people o/seas to whack someone who strayed from the pack.

The yakuza are here as are just about every mafia or crime syndicates from around the world. Germans,Scandinavian,Brits, Russians and Australian heroin syndicates to name a few.

Australian crime families have been exporting heroin and buddha sticks since the 1970's.

Presumably the senior cops all get paid off and that reduces the violence and arrest stats.

only one error in this post......the Yakuza are Japanese

Pol Maj Gen Amporn Buarapporn said they believe he was beaten to death, allegedly by mafia gang members from his country who then fled to Vietnam, leaving the body left at a resort .

Let us not investigate. Since we have so few competent detectives, it is far easier for us to speculate, and just simply come to conclusions, rather than do actual police work. We look like police. We try to act like police. But, we do not do police work. Please do not expect that of us. We are in revenue collection. Do not expect an investigation. Do not expect the expression of talent, pride, intelligence, and fortitude. We just do not have it in us. And besides, it is so much easier to blame it in the Koreans. Why would any of our citizens want to hurt this man? Or any tourist for that matter?
