Pattaya police turned out to provide assistance to a rather befuddled boozed up Thai man who didn't know if his money and mobile phone was coming or going or gone forever.
Khun Voravuth aged 36 from Nakhon Phanom province in the North east of Thailand had come for a short holiday to Pattaya. It was his first trip and he was disorientated as he was not exactly sure where he had been that night or even where he was right now but he did know that he should have had three thousand Baht in his pocket and that had somehow disappeared. He had tried to call the friends he was staying with to come and help him out but that was proving difficult as his mobile phone was in a bag together with his money.
He told the police that although he was from Isaan he was a man of the world having just returned from Taiwan where he had been working for many years.
He told the police that he had visited a karaoke bar with some friends and used several motorcycle taxis and probably one of the taxi drivers had robbed him but he was not too sure and not sure what day it was or what planet he was on.
The police listened patiently to him as no doubt they had been in similar predicaments before. They told him that alleging a taxi driver had robbed him was a serious accusation and it may be better that he had a little sleep and sober up a little before making a formal complaint.

Pattaya Beach Road Lady Boy Sweep - March
Pattaya Police last week went on the hunt for a fake police man and netted a man posing as an immigration policeman on Koh Larn Island.
This week it was the usual story of real police men hunting fake ladies. Yes the monthly sweep of Pattaya Beach Road looking for undesirables especially undesirable ladies who are not ladies selling sexual services to tourists and the odd real lady selling similar services. Whether the real ladies are desirable or undesirable is up to the beholder and the number of alcoholic beverages imbibed prior to selection.
10 real ladies and fake ladies were netted and given a free ride to Pattaya Police Station where they were logged into the system, tested for dubious substances, fined 100 Baht and let loose with a stern warning from the senior officer on duty.

Fake Bomb Found in Pattaya
A Pattaya journalist made a report to Pattaya police of a suspect package that he had noticed opposite Pattaya Technical College. Police rushed to the scene and immediately cordoned off the area whilst specialist officers inspected the suspicious box.
The cardboard box was about 15 x 25 cm and sealed with Scotch Tape. Electrical wires were seen coming from the inside of the box. Experts carefully cut open the box to reveal a stone and an electrical circuit board - there were no explosives. Police are now examining CCTV cameras in the area to try to find out who left the box at this location and whether this was a bomb hoax or just a prank.
If you have a student at Pattaya Technical College who may have lost a package containing his electronics project please contact The Pattaya Police and put them out of their misery.

Fake Policeman Arrested on Koh Larn Island Pattaya
Pattaya Police routinely patrol the streets of Pattaya arresting fake ladies who fuel the crime wave in this squeaky clean international destination.
This week their target was not fake ladies but a fake policeman who was running his own one man crime spree on the island of Koh Larn. Reports from residents on the island indicated that a man dressed as an immigration officer was shaking down illegal aliens working the tourist trade and extorting cash and bribes.
Pattaya Police Chief, Police Colonel Supachai led a team of real officers to the Island who located the fake officer, Khun Padunkian aged 30. The fake police man Khun Padunkian surrendered to the real police officers and said that it was a fair cop.
Police found an Aladdin's cave of police paraphernalia. Police uniforms with insignia, flash lights, gun holsters, hand cuffs, police id's and even a police number plate. Of more concern were weapons and ammunition that appear to have been stolen from a shooting range on the island.
Khun Padunkian admitted to stealing the weapons but has not confessed to acting as a police officer. The Pattaya Police decided to show the fake police man how real police man work and gave him a free trip to Pattaya Police Station where he has been formally charged with possession of a firearm, impersonating a Royal Thai Police Officer and extortion.

Sattahip Bangkok Passenger Vans Drugs Tests
Sattahip District officers and Transport Department officials manned a traffic check point at Km 10 to check passenger vans operating on the Sattahip - Bangkok route.
The checks have been prompted by a string of complaints from passengers about the erratic behaviour of the drivers of some vans and a string of accidents that have caused numerous injuries and deaths when vans have inexplicably crashed, left the road and turned over.
It is well known that the drivers who face long journeys as part of their daily routine are often prone to taking drugs like amphetamines to stay awake. At this traffic stop 6 drivers had their urine tested with just one failing the test. This driver was detained for further tests to confirm the presence of narcotics.
Concerned passengers can call 1584 and make their complaints directly to The Department of Land Transport.

Girls Home Alone in Sattahip
Concerned residents in a Sattahip community called in the authorities as they were very concerned about two young children who were left alone in a small house to fend for themselves and who would frequently scream from the beatings meted out by their father when he returned home.
At the small one storey house in Soi Sattahip Sukhumvit 3, Moo 4 Tambon Sattahip they found two little girls aged 2 and 4 locked inside a room. The girls were scruffy and spent most of their time begging for food from passers by through the iron bars of the window.
The police gained entry and found the living conditions were deplorable with rubbish all over the place. The two girls apart from being filthy were covered in cuts and bruises. They had been beaten with coat hangers by their father.
The father Khun Aekkachai aged 24 works as a car mechanic and said that after his wife abandoned him and the children he had to leave the kids alone sometimes to go to work to earn money.
Whoever reported the situation to the authorities is to be commended for their action but I wonder how long the youngsters have had to endure this terrible treatment.

New Born Baby in South Pattaya Abandoned at Workers Camp in Pratamnack
Pattaya Police and a unit from The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were dispatched to a workers camp in Pratamnack after a new born baby had been found abandoned.
At the campsite run by the Powerlite Company in Pratamnuk Soi 3 in South Pattaya they found a baby that had seemingly been abandoned by the mother just after it was born. The baby boy was covered in a few scratches and bruises but was otherwise alright and making noises like new born babies normally do.
Rescue workers wrapped up the baby and rushed him to Banglamung Hospital. Medical staff examined the baby and ascertained that he had been born prematurely and weighed only 2kg less than half the normal full term birth weight.
Back at the camp the police examined the toilet block a cinder block structure with a galvanised iron roof and found blood stains that are thought to have occurred as a result of the birth.
They interviewed a 56 year old lady who had found the baby. She said that she was passing the toilet when she heard what she thought was a baby crying. she went towards where the noise was coming from and was shocked to find the bloody baby tossed on the ground like garbage.
There are many mainly Cambodian workers at the site where police are concentrating their enquiries as they think the mother may well be a worker living there.
The baby is being taken care of in the premature baby unit at Banglamung Hospital and is said to be doing just fine despite his unorthodox and lonely entry into the world.

Cambodian Monks Caught Begging in East Pattaya
The Buddhism Office Coordinator for the Nongprue police received complaints of the conduct of a group of monks who were spotted in the Khao Talo area operating in an unorthodox manner. Nongprue police went to the area and found three Cambodian monks begging for money and food.
Buddhist monks walking the streets early in the morning is a normal sight. Members of the public wait around dawn to give alms to the monks and receive a blessing in return.
Begging willy nilly is a complete no no.
The monks were taken to Wat Sutawat where the abbot gave them a dressing down - literally disrobing the monks for their inappropriate behaviour.
Whilst inspecting the monks passports it was found that their entry visa had expired and they were technically on overstay. After a stern talking to by the abbot the monks were taken to Jomtien Immigration office for processing prior to their deportation back to Cambodia.

Queen Sirikit National Convention Center Chonburi Tourism Promotion
Khun Whitthaya head of the Chonburi Provincial Administration Organization presided over the opening ceremony of a promotional event to promote the sights, sounds and delights that can be found in abundance in the Province of Chonburi.
The Bangkok based event held at The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, 2nd Floor, Zone C is aimed to give tourists both Thai and foreign and local Bangkokians an urge to get on the bus, get in their cars or get on their bikes and make the 160 km hop skip and a jump down the eastern seaboard and sample the delights of hidden gems like Pattaya City which I am sure no one in Bangkok has ever heard of.
Exhibitors representing many of the best of Pattaya tourist attractions and Pattaya hotels put on a fine show and a brave face. With the dismal tourist arrivals and plethora of empty hotel rooms in Pattaya events like this are more acts of desperation than acts of tourist promotion.

Chonburi Bangsean Beach Rubbish Right Now
Bangsaen Beach is a pleasant location about 40km north of Pattaya between Srtiracha and Chonburi. The long crescent of sandy beach reminds me what Pattaya was like 25 years ago apart from the lack of bars that is.
Thai tourists mainly from Chonburi and Bangkok visit Bangsean regularly as it has a reputation for fine fresh sea food restaurants.
However there's trouble at beach. Bangsean Beach Rubbish Right Now. High tides and stormy seas have turned the water not so much a whiter shade of pale as a mucky slag heap black. tons of garbage is being deposited on the sandy shore and municipal workers are fighting a losing battle to cart away the crap before the next tide deposits more muck.
At least the restaurants are doing good business as tourists are electing to sit and enjoy the fresh food rather than to sit on the not so fresh beach.
