Sattahip Thai Fighter Pilot Pickup Driver
A Sattahip journalist was surprised and more than a little intrigued when he spotted a Nissan pick-up truck being driven by a guy who appeared to be wearing a fighter pilots helmet.
He moved in a little closer to see that the driver was also wearing camouflage, maybe it was a flight suit. Maybe he was really a fighter pilot and had mistaken his Nissan Big M for his F16 fighter jet. He wanted to interview so he followed the truck but he lost top gun look alike guy but lost him in the traffic.
He made enquiries locally and found out the Tom Cruise look alike's name - Khun Nattee a 46 year old local businessman.
Finally he was face to face or was it face to visor with the feisty fake fighter pilot. Khun Nattee explained that he wore the helmet for safety reasons, just in case he was involved in an accident. He said that he was perhaps more than a little obsessed with Thai top gun types and besides which it was not against the law to dress up in such a way even when driving his pick-up or his motorcycle and agreed that maybe he looked a little like a supersonic clown but what the hell.
I wonder if he has fitted his Nissan Big M with afterburners, sidewinder missiles and an ejection seat. After all this is Thailand.

Drunken Mayhem Outside Mike Shopping Mall Pattaya Beach Road
When in Pattaya enjoy the beer and nightlife but don't forget that you will be required to pay for it otherwise you risk getting the crap kicked out of you.
In the early hours of the morning Pattaya Police and a unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were called to attend to the aftermath of a fracas in front of Mike Shopping Mall on Pattaya Beach Road. At the scene they encountered two Thai men laying on the ground quite badly injured and surrounded by a motley crew of Thai and foreign gawkers.
Khun Paiboon aged 33 had been hit in the head and was unconscious his friend Khun Tao had sustained bruising to his chest.
The first task was to allow the medics to tend to the men's injuries and then try to talk to the victims and eye witnesses what had gone down. Meanwhile nearby a bloody brick was found that appeared to have been the weapon of choice used to beat Khun Paiboon senseless.
A description of the attackers and the vehicle they used to leave the scene was soon obtained and very shortly a Toyota Tiger and it's occupants was stopped near Wat Chaimonkol on South Pattaya Road. The police questioned the men in the Toyota and identified them as Khun Sittichok aged 37, Khun Supot aged 19 and Khun Apisit aged 18 they all confessed to participating in the vicious beat down of the victims.
It appears that the two groups were drinking together outside Mike Shopping Mall and were quite happy until as intoxication took effect the happiness wore off. One of the victims Khun Paiboon ordered a beer from a vendor but declined to pay for it. The others took umbrage and a fight broke out.
The victims were transported to Banglamung Hospital for further treatment. The assailants were transported the short distance to Pattaya Police Station for further questioning.

Members of the public had already pulled the body of a Russian man from the water but despite all efforts to revive the man with CPR they could not initiate a spark of life. His friend looked on in anguish but was more and more resigned to the fact that what had been a pleasurable if drunken night out on Walking Street had turned into such a nightmare.
Witnesses said that they had seen the drunken pair carousing and attempting to walk along the slippy set of buoys when one of them fell into the water and failed to surface again.
Pattaya Police collected evidence at the scene and took a series of photographs. The body of the deceased was transported to hospital for a post mortem to be carried out. As is the custom the Russian Embassy in Bangkok will be notified of the death of one of it's citizens.

Ghost in Jomtien Caught on Camera
A close encounter of the creepy kind occurred after a gathering attended by members of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation brought to light more than the usual party spirit.
One of the rescue personnel who had attended the party took some photographs of a line of Sawang Boriboon Rescue vehicles parked up outside the venue at the car park of the Pattaya Indoor Stadium in Soi Chayapreuk 2 in Jomtien. It was not until the next day that while he was looking at the photographs he noticed the ghostly image of what appeared to be an apparition walking past the vehicles. The ghost appeared to be female and is thought by other observers to be the spirit of a deceased rescue worker or possibly one of the many accident victims who have been transported by the rescue vehicles over the years.
The owner of the phone swears that the images are not fakes and has posted the images on Facebook where they have been viewed thousands of times by curios Thai folk who are known to enjoy spooky stories of ghost and ghoulies.

Pattaya Police Increase Traffic Checkpoints for Holiday Period
With Christmas and The New Year holidays almost upon us Pattaya Police are doubling their efforts to make the streets of Pattaya a safer environment for tourists and locals alike. At Pattaya Police Station Deputy Superintendent Sirote along with highway patrol officers and Pattaya Police Volunteers held a press conference to highlight the work that was being done to promote road safety and enforce traffic laws.
The traffic safety initiative has come down from on high from The Thai National Police Agency who have directed police forces across the nation to clamp down on traffic infractions. Extra police checkpoints are being set up around the city focusing on catching offenders who flaunt the regulations. Motorcyclists who are seen not wearing helmets will be stopped. All traffic stops will entail the inspection of documents and those found attempting to drive without licences or helmets will join an ever increasing queue at Pattaya Police Station where their wallets will be relieved of the requisite fines.
These increased traffic stops are also useful for crime suppression as often other criminal activities such as drugs or weapons possession is unearthed as a by product of vigilance over traffic law enforcement.

Pattaya Sharky Confronts Pattaya Police
Australian national Tim Ward also known as "Sharky" probably due to his prior business activities as a loan shark in Australia made a noisy scene at Pattaya Police Station. Sharky who is a well known character in Pattaya and can be regularly seen strutting his massive Tattooed body builder frame along Pattaya Beach Road in search of the next short time encounter.

Sharky is a frequent flyer at Pattay Police station and has been making his vocal prescience heard even more often since his visit from the boys in Brown. At this nights encounter he had brought along a couple of Australian film makers who were doing a reality type documentary on the Aussie character, who was actually born in New Zealand.
The event was also covered by members of the Thai media one of whom local Journalist, Khun Chocktawee aged 46, lodged a formal complaint of assault against Sharkey. It turns out that the media guy had had the strap on his shoulder bag snapped during the confrontation.
Pattaya police declined to follow up on the complaint and indeed kept a quiet and low profile citing that they were more than a little intimidated by the vociferous foreigner.

Nigerian Scammers Nabbed in East Pattaya
The area of East Pattaya is commonly referred to as The Darkside because of it's relative darkness compared to the bright lights of beachside Pattaya. The Darkside became even darker this week when two gentlemen with rather dark complexions were arrested for alledgedly carrying out dark deeds.
Khun Supatee the acting chief of Pattaya Police held a press conference to announce the result of a combined operation between Pattaya Police and The Conburi Center Against Transnational Organised Crime, Police which netted two naughty Nigerians.

The authorities seized several items including 2 Laptop computers and 2 bank books which were in the name of Thai female accomplices who they revealed were paid to open accounts in their names, by the two men.
The two men who posed as Nigerian billionaire aristocrats yet were living in a cheap gaff were not as rich as they made out as they couldn't even afford to keep their visas up to date.
Information that prompted the raid proved correct when police searched their laptops and documents found in the apartment in MabYaiLia 10 Moo 5.of Nongprue District It seams that they had been running an enterprising enterprise that is thought to have relieved Thai women of rather large amounts of money.
Posing as rich intermediaries they had informed these women that they were the lucky recipients of a 15 million Dollar windfall. All they needed to do was to transfer 100,000 - 200,000 Thai Baht to the Nigerians bank account to facilitate the forwarding of the fantastic funds.
At the present time the diabolical dark hearted and dark faced Darkside scammers have been charged only with overstay infractions as they have no idea how many if any Thai ladies have been ripped off.
Thai police are urging anyone who fell for this scam to contact them. Anyone who comes forward are promised a share of a suitcase of black banknotes and a bottle of cleaning solution that should amply compensate them for their sad scammed losses.

Pattaya Loy Krathong Frolics
It was clean up time this week for Pattaya and Jomtien Beaches to clear the areas of the remnants of Krathongs, lanterns, fireworks and general discarded garbage left behind by the thousands of people who enjoyed Loy Krathong Festival by the beach last week.
Vendors made a killing selling the Loy Krathong celebrators with fancy Krathongs and also fireworks and fire lanterns despite the ban from the ruling Government military authorities who had put a moratorium on fun related but safety challenged items.
The firework and fire lantern felons were not fazed by any fear of arrest from the armed forces and were more interested in making a few Baht or two or three.
Fun was had by all be they farlang or locals and no doubt the kids frolicking in the surf to relieve the Krathongs of their monetary cargoes were well happy too.

Police buried the putrid porker nearby and are reportedly not seeking anyone for the death of this pig.
