webfact Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Tout who attacked Russian tourist sorry for spoiling Pattaya's imageThaivisa ReportersPATTAYA:-- The Walking Street tout responsible for attacking a Russian tourist outside McDonald's on Wednesday turned himself in to Pattaya police saying he was sorry for spoiling the good name of the resort, reports Thaivisa News.Mr Elgor Gorokov,46, was left with a serious eye injury after an argument broke out when the tout offered sex drugs and a trip to see a sex show.Wilas (alias Ae) Thongchaem 37, said that he attacked the tourist, who he claimed was drunk, after he spat at him. He said he alone was responsible and hit the tourist once over the eye.Wilas turned up at Pattaya police station Thursday with a friend called Asawin who was a witness to the violent melee. He said it was true that he had offered the tourist sex drugs and invited him to see a sex show, but a misunderstanding occurred and an argument developed before the Russian spat at him."I lost it because I was so angry," he told investigating officers. "I want to apologise for what I did and spoiling the good name of Pattaya." He added that he decided quickly to admit to what he had done and go to police to sort it out.Police said that Mr Gorokov had continued on his way to Koh Si Chang. Wilas was charged with assault. -- 2016-03-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya28 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Not bad at all. Selling "sex-show" tickets Selling "drugs" Attacking an intoxicated tourist. And claiming a "misunderstanding". What was the "misunderstanding" ? These "touts" are illegally operating on Walking Street, and right under the noses of the Police. And mentioned "spoiling the good name of Pattaya". Funny !!!

NongKhaiKid Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 As usual no apology or regret for assaulting a tourist just suitable apology for spoiling Pattaya's ' good name ' ! Just following the example set from on high when no one in authority all the way to the top expressed any regret about the victims on Koh Tau just worry that tourism might be harmed.

onemorechang Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Since when did Pattaya have a good image to spoil ? About 1959 according to one poster on the pattaya forum. Way before my time, i like it the way it is, but we don't need the violence and the plastic cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitawatWatawit Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 What is wrong with that picture? Well, nothing really. They're just a bunch of good guys lounging around on the sofa having a cup of coffee and a chin-wag about the good old days. It's nice to see the police treating members of the public like they are welcome guests and ... and it's an honor to have you visit us. Please take your time with the coffee, and call us when you want an escort to go back to work. You have a super, super day, old friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 You really have to stretch your imagination to come up with something that would tarnish Pattaya's reputation. Probably the bridge club came the closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Sorry for "Spoiling Pattaya's image...." that train has left the station long, long time ago, not much can be done by anyone to sully Pattaya name and image anymore than what it is today, a den of inequity....

canuckamuck Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The image Pattaya wants the world to see is one where the people who offer you drugs and sex shows are completely safe and would not harm a flea. Why you could bring your children and have a family outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse Twoccer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Monkeys like this, and the nonchalant attitude by the RTP are going to bring the "quality tourists" flocking in. What? You mean the drunk Russian monkey who spat at a Thai, don't you? What do you mean by "nonchalant attitude" of the police? You do mean the attitude that resulted in the tout being charged with assault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "good guys lounging around", just 2 apparently remorseful Thais respectfully offering wais in the company of the arresting officers presumably. No cups of coffee. No chin-wag happening. So, start to finish, absolute nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse Twoccer Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So attempting to sell drugs has no charge The drugs were what was described as "sex drugs", 100% chance of them being of the Viagra type, hardly the class 1 drugs that you were trying to make them sound like.

WhizBang Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 'Soiling Pattaya's image'? Seriously? How would it be possible to 'spoil Payyata's image'? No charges for assault? Just a pat on the back from the police? Amazing Thailand, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not beat the crap out of us after the grilling on entry at the airport. It helps us to understand what's in store for us once we hit the road - excusing the Pun !!!

Spitting at someone isn't something I approve of (that's if it's true), but for offering to sell someone drugs he deserves to be crapped on. Never mind though, don't suppose it matters if you're an apologist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo shows the bizarre methods of polite, police treatment of those charged with violent crimes against persons. The interview, if any, should have been conducted with the tout in a jail uniform, behind bars and awaiting trial. No apology for the crime or victim. Only an apology for the already soiled "image" of this town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
