Na Jomtien Pattaya Traffic Checkpoints
Pattaya Police are utilising the power of the press to get their road safety messages across to the general public. Journalists and other members of the media being invited to observe and report on the activities of the fine boys in brown as they set up extra traffic checkpoints across the region.
In Na Jomtien near Pattaya the highway traffic officers assisted by Pattaya police volunteers set up checkpoints at the crossroads by the region 2 Prosecutors building a place for reasons I won't go into I know very well. The crossroads is a busy spot with the main road to Huay Yai district crossing the multi lane Chonburi to Sattahip Sukhumvit Road highway.
The police are on the look out for motorcyclists and their passengers riding without helmets and peering through windows to spot motorists too lazy to click on their seat belts. When a stop is made paperwork is scrutinised, registration documents, driving licences and the like.
Whilst the journalists were there one motorist whose breath seemed to suggest that more attention was warranted. He was asked to blow into a breathalyser which suggested that he may have partaken of Seang Som rather than Som Tam. A group of teenage motorcyclists were pulled up for a chat. They turned out to be clean and their paperwork even cleaner.

Pattaya Crocodile Caught in Jomtien Lake
Locals living near the go-kart track on Soi Teppraset in Jomtien near Pattaya called on the experts to provide assistance after what was thought to be a crocodile was spotted in a small lake behind the track.
A team of reptile rescuers from The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation arrived n scene. A short survey of the scene showed no sign of the snapping creature. Boats were brought in and as pumps drained the pond the water level started to subside.
Lures were laid out ladened with chicken carcases but obviously the croc was not hungry. After about 24 hours the reptile was spotted lurking in some bushes near the bank. The rescuers moved in and snared the beast. The crocodile around 1.8 meters long and weighing about 20 kg was handed over to Fisheries Department officials who will find a safer spot to release the predator well away from humans and go-karts. Meanwhile a search was made of the rest of the pond just in case the crafty croc had a mate lurking nearby.

Nigerian Scam Artist Arrsted in Jomtien Pattaya
It was a dark day in Jomtien for a man with a dark complexion. Pattaya Police Colonel Supatee the acting commander of Pattaya Police held a press conference to announce the result of a joint investigation between Pattaya Police and The Chonburi Provincial Transnational Crime Suppression Unit. Netted in the operation was a Nigerian scammer who was just minding his own business as most Nigerians are want to do which is conning gullible people to part with their hard earned cash.
The man with the dark complexion gave the authorities a distinctly black look when they turned up at his rented apartment in Tepprasit Soi 7 in South Pattaya. A search of the room turned up incriminating computer evidence as well as 5 bank books in the names of accomplices that were used to cash the dodgy donations.
The scam he was running was a familiar one in this Internet age. He posed as a pilot and posted pictures of another guy on a Facebook page, he was apparently a bit shy to post his own pictures.
He lured victims mostly gullible Thai women with a story that they could take a share of a large sum of money which had been seized by Thai Customs.
The authorities are publicising the story with the Thai media in the hope that duped victims who have been scammed by this piece of African excrement will come forward. At the moment they can only hold him for residing in The Kingdom of Thailand with an out of date visa.

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.

Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens in Pattaya near Na Jomtien hosted a a meeting organised by the Department of Special Investigations (DSI) The meeting was held to discuss recent plans to crackdown on foreign business owners who manipulate the Thai Nominee Shareholders regulations to effectively control Thai companies and therefore are running their ventures in contravention of Thai laws.
Over 100 delegates were in attendance at the meeting including representatives from the DSI, The Ministry of Commerce, Tourism Authority of Thailand and representatives from the public and private sectors in Pattaya.
Foreign business operators have been exploiting the Thai Nominee Shareholding loophole for many years, despite it being illegal under the Foreign Business Act of 1999.
The DSI would like to see this loophole closed and investigations have begun into companies which use Thai Shareholders but are effectively controlled by Foreign Nationals. Covert operations have begun into tour companies, accommodation rental, restaurant, laundry and spa businesses.
Delegates at the meeting discussed how they can co-operate with the authorities in clamping down on these foreigners who are running their operations to the detriment of Thai business interest and Thai citizens who are losing out on the revenue going into foreign pockets.

Jomtien Karaoke Bar Torched by Un-requited Lover
Pattaya police officers and volunteers from the rescue services who work tirelessly to keep locals and tourists safe in Pattaya deserve some time to take a break, let their hair down so when a call came in that a local Karaoke place was the hot venue for the night Pattaya Police officers from Dongtan sub-station, volunteer firefighters and units of Volunteer rescue Foundation Organizations jumped at the opportunity to mount their vehicles and roar into action.
Their destination was a Karaoke bar on Soi 17 just off Thepprasit Road. Unfortunately there was little to sing about. When they arrived the premises were well engulfed in flames. Volunteers from the Thappraya 2310 Foundation leaped into action tearing down walls and removing gas cylinders that threatened to explode. It took the fire fighters quite a while to douse the flames.
The police also leaped into action - asking questions of the crowd. Very quickly they ascertained that this may be a case of arson. and drew beads on a possible suspect.
The suspected arsonist, Khun Chart a shop owner aged 50 had apparently got the hots for the Karaoke owners sister who had turned down his unwanted romantic advances. He had visited the karaoke that evening. The sister was busy tending loving care on the other customers in the bar. Khun Chart was heart broken and hit the attention of his loving desires with his motorcycle helmet.
Khun Chart's burning passion for the sister fuelled no doubt by an excess of Thai liquor turned into a burning desire to torch the place. Witnesses reporting seeing Khun Chart near the Karaoke shortly before the fire was discovered.
Damage to the Karaoke was estimated to be over 200,000 Baht and the police are hot on the heels of Khun Chart. Elvis would be proud of him - certainly a case of Burning Burning Love.

Pattaya Murder Suicide in Jomtien
Pattaya Police and a unit of the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were called to a Jomtien Condominium after they received reports of two bodies being found. At the scene The Park Lance Condo Complex on Soi Watboon they were directed to a 4th floor condo where two bodies had been discovered after staff entered the room when cleaners smelt a foul odour coming from the room.

Jomtien Drains Construction
It is the rainy season in Pattaya again. It happens every year - it is called the monsoon season and is a totally natural event. Flooding is an inevitable consequence and is also totally natural but an efficient drainage system can mitigate the effects and give some relief for residents in the area.
Plans have been on the books for years and for years companies have been brought in to expand and improve the drains and sewers. Residents in Jomtien are getting a little tired though of having to endure the same problems year after year.
Dr. Virawat trade Deputy Mayor of Pattaya. Led a group of Pattaya city council members and staff of the Bureau of Sanitation Engineering District to inspect the progress of an updated drainage system where they laying 2-by-2-meter square underground pipes from Thepprasit Soi 7 to Wat Boonkanjanaram Soi 4
It is a complicated process which involves channels being dug and water being diverted while the new pipes are laid. The deputy Mayor urged the construction company to be diligent and complete this section as quickly as possible and also urged the residents to be as patient as possible as they face yet another messy monsoon season.
