Chonburi Police are investigating the circumstances which led to a 17 year old girl being found hiding in a Buddhist Shrine at Wat Pho in Ban Amphur Muang, Chonburi.
Temple officials who found the girl who was wearing only pyjamas took her to the police station.
Her story was quite disturbing. She said that she had been taken captive by a group of men who locked her up in a small room. Injected her with drugs to keep her quiet and then forced her to sit all day long on overpasses around the city begging for money from passers by.
She had managed to escape and had taken refuge in the temple.
Police are looking into her claims and looking for the men who held her captive. Meanwhile she is being cared by the department of social services whilst her parents can be tracked down.

Khao Khiaw Open Zoo Pattaya Water Spraying
Management at the Khao Khiaw Open Zoo near Pattaya have installed water sprinklers at the zoo. The sprinklers are not there to water the lawns but to direct jets of cooling water on some of the zoos prized exhibits that have been showing signs of stress due to the recent spell of hot weather.
Animals such as the ostriches and antelopes are amongst the species getting the VIP (Very Intense Precipitation) treatment. The director said that this is of course benefitial for the animals but is also a security measure to ensure safety for the thousands of tourists who pass through the gates of the zoo to experience the special hands on petting methods that the zoo employs that allows members of the public to get close up and personal with the zoos extensive range of exotic species.
Maybe another species of endangered species in Pattaya - Farang Tourists - could be the next to experience the soothing water spraying techniques with bars making available garden hoses and spray guns to cool off customers who get a bit hot under the collar. They could call it The Songkran Festival.

East Pattaya Shooting Injures Old Lady
The east side of Pattaya is rapidly getting the reputation as the wild west as yet another shooting incident this time claimed a 67 year old woman who was asleep in bed as the latest victim. She was lucky - if being shot is lucky that the bullet wound was only to her hand - but at her age - well words fail me.
She was rushed to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for emergency treatment by family members as they contacted the police and also called her son Khun Surachat aged 34, who works as a security Guard at the Seed Pub in Central Pattaya who was the target of the drive by shooting.
Nongprue Police examining the house in Soi Chayapornviti in East Pattaya counted bullet holes and 9mm shell casings and reckon 31 shots were fired at the house in the early hours of the morning.
Khun Surachat was targeted because he did his job. A few days earlier he broke up a fight between two rival gangs at the pub he worked at.
Some of the gang members fired shots in the air as they left the pub and pledged vengeance against the security guard. They carried out their threats with witnesses stating that they saw four gangsters on two motorcycles emptying their automatic weapons into the house.
Police are aware that the shooters probably live in the Tamsamakee Temple area of East Pattaya and are concentrating their inquiries there.

Lady Boy Thieves on Pattaya Beach Road
Yet another case of a bunch of lady boys robbing a Russian tourist on Beach road. Isn't it about time that Pattaya got rid of this scum of the Earth and I am referring to the lady boys not the Russians.
2 am Mr. Andri Popov aged 26 walking back to his Hotel when he gets surrounded by a bunch of Thai thieves dressed as women they are all hands on promising him a night of homosexual pleasures which he declines and in the process one of the thieving gits gets in his pocket and relieves him of his iPhone.
That is usually the end of the story as the phone is passed off to the fastest runner and the transvestite scum make their escape on waiting motorcycles.
On this occasion the tourist realised in the nick of time that he had been robbed and shouted for help. Passers by and a fast approaching police officer soon had the three scum bags under arrest.
Mr,.Sakdisit aged 20 from Buriram. Mr. Chaiya aged 30 from Udon Thani, and a 16 year old apprentice scum bag.
Mr. Popov got his phone back. The Thai thieves will face charges and Pattaya gets another black mark against it's reputation as a fine quality family holiday destination.
How long will it be before this team of thieves are back in the same location hunting tourists. One day - two days.
There is a simple solution that I don't think the Pattaya police will ever consider.
Go to the rooms of these pieces of human excrement. Steal all their belongings and donate them to local needy families and put them on a bus with a one way ticket back to their provinces. Handcuff them to the seats with a sign round their necks which explains they are being deported as unwantable scum and give the handcuff keys to the bus driver.

Python Snared in East Pattaya
Pythons are nice creatures. People love to see pythons that is as long as they are behind glass in a zoo and not slithering out of one's front door.
A homeowner in East Pattaya had a close encounter of the snakey kind when he returned home after a trip to the market, went into his home and turned to close the front door to find a sneaky snake that had snook into his house while he was out shopping was attempting to silently exit through the front door.
Obviously the solitary snake was looking for a little solitude and it slithered over to a tree in the garden and settled in the branches.
So what to do - he couldn't leave it there as it may decide to slide down and look to snuggle up inside again. So The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation to the rescue again.
A squad of snake rescuers were soon speeding to the home in Soi Nong Yai to find a curious crowd of snake lovers staring up into the sky.
A two metre long Python no problemo for the wrangling rescuers who soon had the sleepy snake snuggled up in a ferilizer bag and off to a new home where he wouldn't be bothered again by people staring at him.

Koh Larn Pattaya Sea Walker Safety Meeting
After a disastrous year in 2013 with numerous marine accidents in Pattaya that took the life of too many foreigners and put many more in hospital Pattaya City Hall boosted by a large government grant are working hard to improve marine safety and emergency response procedures.
On the list this week it was the turn of a popular activity that operates on Koh Larn Island - The Sea Walker.
Khun Rankert Ekasing the deputy Mayor of Pattaya presided over a meeting at Pattaya City Hall to discuss with operators of the Sea Walker and the relevant officials from Pattaya Council who oversee marine safety.
There have been 12 accidents recently with foreign and Thai tourists involved in this underwater activity where tourists don a large metal helmet with an air line attached so they can descend to the sea floor to observe coral life.
In the diving world - the real world divers spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours to become proficient in the use of this equipment. In Pattaya 5 minutes instruction in a language the tourist may or may not understand is all that is required to send a tourist down to the bottom of the sea.
Discussed at the meeting was the standards of diving equipment and the dive boats that they operate from. Of serious concern was the problems that frequently occur in communication between the tourists and tourists from many nations.
Pattaya City hall and the Sea Walker operators need to come up with acceptable standards and procedures to ensure safety for visitors to the Island.
All this is well and good - However would it not be prudent to shut down these operations until such time that these regulations are agreed on and the staff can be trained and enforcement procedures laid down. Of course this is not going to happen - this is Thailand and tourist dollars are more important than tourist lives.

Turkish Ice Crean Guys Fight in Pattaya
Pattaya police and a unit from the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were called on to attend an incident on Pattaya Second Road where an argument between two foreigners had ended up in bloody mayhem.
Two Turkish men who run a Turkish ice cream business had sat down to have a business discussion that soon turned into a heated argument, then turned into fisticuffs then a knife was drawn and blood was spilt.
There was certainly no Turkish delight as the police arrived as the two continued to swear at each other in a dialect that was not at all understandable to the officers and rescue personnel.
The police managed to defrost the situation a little although the pair continued to flash icy staress at each other. Mr. Cihan Cakmak aged 31, Mr. Semih Bele aged 26 were asked to freeze their argument for the moment and take a trip to the police station.
There was a time out between rounds as Mr. Bele was taken to Pattaya Memorial Hospital where he received medical attention to stab wounds to his arm and then they were asked to explain themselves and what had caused the argument.
I scream at him said Mr Bele - no I scream at him first said Mr. Cakmak
Maybe things got lost in translation or maybe things were really that complicated. The two had completely different stories.
One claiming the fight was about the fact that he wanted to end the business partnership and open a new ice cream in a different part of town and he had taken a fridge from the shop without his partners permission. The other saying no that was not the reason. He had lent his partner 50,000 Baht to sort out his visa situation.
The police couldn't make their mind up what flavour they preferred and would need some time to investigate the pair to see if either or both the Turkish ice cream salesmen would have to spend time in the cooler.
