Brit Paints Walls of Wat Suttawat in East Pattaya
At last a story with many happy endings. Happy for a Brit, Happy for a temple, happy for the community and unexpectedly happy for me your humble news reader.
Before Christmas 77 year old Brit Mr. Terry Smith had got down on his knees and started the mammoth job of painting the perimeter walls of Wat Suttawat at the end of Soi Nernplubwan in Nongprue District East Pattaya.
Terry who had converted to his Thai wife's religion of Buddhism had noticed the walls were well due to a coat or two of paint and with the Abbot's permission a bucket of white paint a brush in hand and his wife cheering him on he got down to work.
A video of him hard at his charitable work went viral on the Interweb with foreign and Thai posters on Facebook praising his efforts. There were a few naysayers on the forums and chat rooms who did the Bah humbug impressions and warned that he could well end up in jail for working without a work permit.
This of course was never going to happen - instead over Christmas and New Year hundreds of locals , army officers the old and the not so old worked tirelessly with 20,000 Baht of buckets of donated paint to finish the job that Mr. Terry had started. Making merit and celebrating His majesty King Bhumiphol's extended reign as the King of Thailand was their declared aims
And an additional and unexpected happy ending. I live near Wat Sutthawat Temple and took a motorcycle taxi from Big C Extra Central Pattaya a few days ago. I was rummaging in my pocket for the 150 Baht fare when the motorcycle taxi driver waied me and said you are a good guy paint temple no charge and rode off. Now that was a very nice gesture but a little disconcerting as I am a long way off the 77 years young Mr. Terry.

Fatal Motorcycle Accident in Nongprue East Pattaya

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.

9 Year Old Girl Sweeping Pattaya Streets
After looking at video footage of a young girl sweeping the street in Pratumnack journalists decided to find out what was happening and why such a young girl was out early in the morning with a broom in hand.
A Journalists turned up at 4am to talk to the girl but she wasn't there. They managed to track her down to her home in Soi Nimit, Nong Krabok road, Moo 9 Tambon Nong Prue in East Pattaya. At the rented room the journalist found Mrs. Orasa Boonserm, aged 50, and her daughter Miss Rujipha aged 9, who is a grade 3 student at Ban Thoong Klom Tarn Marn primary school.
They told a sorry but heart warming story. The mum was disabled after she had been struck by a car and the 9 year old and her older 18 year old sister would go out early in the morning to help her mum with her job.
The girl didn't mind helping her mum although it sometimes made her late for her 7am start at school. Teachers knew of the family situation and didn't make any objections. Mum had a dream that maybe someday she will qualify for Government housing as most of her money went on rent and paying for utility bills.

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.

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.

As well as a mob of local residents and a larger mob of media representatives all doing what mobs do - gawp at the presented devastation and the trained professionals doing what they were trained to do.
Now it was the job of the police to question the participants to try to find out who was at fault. The pick-up driver, the motorcyclist or the power pole.

Nongprue East Pattaya Dust Pollution Complaints
A delegation of residents from Baan Mabatatai Village in East Pattaya made their way to Nongprue District Offices to lodge a formal complaint about pollution they and their fellow residents were suffering due to a major construction project laying new sewers and drainage systems near their homes.
Members of the media had already taken a look at the area and their reports supported the residents complaints that they were all suffering tremendously from dust and dirt kicked up by heavy machinery including 10 wheeler trucks and back hoes that was causing a severe nuisance.
Contractors were not dealing with the problem and attempts at dust suppression were totally inadequate. Householders could not open doors and windows for normal ventilation which was making it unbearable to live in these homes especially during the period of hot weather that the area had been experiencing lately.
Homeowners needed to clean the dust on a daily basis. Respiratory problems were affecting especially old people and children in their Communities.
Khun Charoen The senior officer of Nongprue Municipality in charge of overseeing construction projects in the district listened to their complaints and promised to contact the contractors and try to resolve their serious concerns.
