Fatal Motorcycle Accident in Nongprue East Pattaya
Police Officers from Nongprue police station in East Pattaya were called to the scene of an accident after local residents had heard the sound of a crash. They rushed to attend the scene along with a unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation.
At the scene near a flyover on Highway 36 they found the wreckage of a Suzuki motorcycle which appears to have collided with a road sign in the centre of the road. The rider of the motorcycle Khun Yupin aged 32 had sustained massive traumatic injuries in the crash and appears to have died instantly from her injuries.
The extent of the damage to the Suzuki and the severity of the injuries suggested that the deceased was driving her motorcycle at high speed at the time of the crash. The accident scene also revealed some clues that maybe another vehicle which left the scene may have been involved in Khun Yupin losing control of her machine and subsequently losing her life.
Khun Yupin was transported to Banglamung Hospital for a full forensic post mortem to be carried out before the body can be released to relatives for funeral rites to be carried out.

Nongprue Pattaya Massage Lady Busted For Selling Drugs
Sattahip drugs enforcement officials got wind of a masseuse who was offering more than massage services and this story does not have a happy ending especially for the massage lady. They had reason to believe that her massage service was just a cover story and her main income was the selling of drugs to Thai and foreign customers.
A sting operation was set up. Undercover agents set up a drugs buy and went to her room in a rented apartment block in Soi 12 MapYaiLia of Nongprue District in East Pattaya with 2,500 Baht in marked notes. The masseuse Khun Kanda aged 39 handed over the drugs and now it was the chance for the undercover drugs suppression agents to lay on hands and nick the lady.
Along with the dodgy massage lady two other people in the room were also arrested on suspicion of being drug users. Ms. Rungtiwa Saisin aged 29 and a Cambodian gentleman Khun Lay Odd aged 23 year old were also presented with a fine pair of steel bracelets.
Along with the purchased drugs small quantities of Yaa Ice and Yaa Baa were also found and confiscated.

East Pattaya Pharmacy Busted for Selling Illegal Drugs
Undercover Pattaya Police Officers raided a pharmacy on Soi Nernplubwan in East Pattaya after receiving a tip off that the shop was supplying controlled substances to customers without a licence and without a prescription.
The owner of Sarisa pharmacy Khun Sarisa aged 44 was arrested during the raid after an agent had gone to the premises to make an undercover buy.
The police took a variety of medications as evidence including psychotropic drugs, sleeping pills, and sexual enhancement tablets including Viagra.
Khun Sarisa admitted to the selling of these drugs. She said that the pills were often sold to folks who worked nights and needed pills to help them sleep in the daytime. These sleeping tablets are sold for 12 Baht apiece but can then be sold on in the black market for 20 Baht each. Khun Sarisa was concerned that they could fall into the wrong hands and had noticed that ladyboys were frequent purchasers.
The police are concerned as there seems to be a surge in incidents where foreign tourists are drugged and robbed and are determined to stamp this out by increasing the surveillance and raids on pharmacies supplying these substances.

East Pattaya Ice Man Causes Accident
A unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation was dispatched to provide assistance at the scene of a motorcycle accident in Soi Nernplubwan in East Pattaya. Three people were laying injured in the road after they were ejected from their motorcycle. They had suffered bruises and abrasions and were given first aid by attending medics before being transported to Banglamung Hospital for further emergency treatment.
Witnesses to the accident said that a motorcycle sidecar combo carrying ice blocks had shot out of a side road and crashed into the motorcycle. The ice delivery guy kept his cool and kept driving in the direction of the road by the railway tracks. Obviously he did not want to hang around in case his load melted.
Police sent out a radio alert to look out for the cold hearted ice man but as yet he appears to have just melted into the distance.

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.
They nabbed the Nigerians Mr. Chigozie Nnamdi Nwaogu aged 31, and Mr. Onyebuchi Uchegbu aged 34 were at a rented apartment in Soi Neun Plub Wan in East Pattaya. 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.

Young Man Shot in East Pattaya for Honking at a Buddhist Shrine
I was first bemused when folks passing Buddhist shrines would turn their heads and wai with their hands clasped in respect to the dead. Then I would become alarmed when I realised that they were taking their hands off the wheel and for a couple of seconds were not looking where they were going.
It's not so easy for motorcyclists to take their hands off the handlebars to wai so nowadays it seems customary for hem to honk their horn a few times - lot safer yes? well not always.
A young man in East Pattaya was riding his bike near the railway lines in East Pattaya. His girlfriend was riding her bike a little distance behind. He came across a Buddhist Shrine at the side of the road and honked his horn 3 times. What he didn't notice and didn't even think about was that there was a few alive youths near the shrine who thought he was honking them. They took umpty and set off to follow him.
After stopping to put some gas in his bike he set off again and came up to a motorcycle and car driving slowly. As he overtook them a guy in the car pulled a gun and fired off a few rounds. He realised he had been shot in the shoulder and pulled over. Police and rescue workers arrived and he was transported to hospital for further emergency treatment. Doctors found that he had actually been shot twice in the right shoulder and in the left arm. His injuries were not however life threatening so no need for a shrine to be built in his honour.
It's not so easy for motorcyclists to take their hands off the handlebars to wai so nowadays it seems customary for hem to honk their horn a few times - lot safer yes? well not always.
A young man in East Pattaya was riding his bike near the railway lines in East Pattaya. His girlfriend was riding her bike a little distance behind. He came across a Buddhist Shrine at the side of the road and honked his horn 3 times. What he didn't notice and didn't even think about was that there was a few alive youths near the shrine who thought he was honking them. They took umpty and set off to follow him.
