Around 8am Nongprue Police and a Unit of The Sawang Boriboon Dhamma Sathan Rescue Foundation to provide assistance were called a busy highway in their district where a body had been found at the side of the road.
On highway 36 in front of the Bira International Racing Circuit they found the body of a man aged somewhere between 45-50. He was laying in the grass in the central reserve of the highway.
The deceased did not carry any formal means of identification and appeared to have been dead for about 10 hours. The man had suffered severe traumatic injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle travelling at high speed.
The body of the deceased was taken to hospital for a full post mortem to be carried out. The police are appealing for families in the area who may have a missing family member to contact them as soon as possible. Meanwhile auto repair shops across the region are being canvassed to see if any vehicles have turned up to have repairs carried out that may be consistent with a vehicle pedestrian accident.

Falling Electric Pylon Kills True Corporation Technician in Soi Kao Talo East Pattaya
Nongprue Police and a unit of The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation were called to attend a fatal accident in Soi Kao Talo, East Pattaya.
At the scene outside The Siam Royal View Estate in Soi Kao Talo they found a concrete post carrying electrical cables that had fallen across the road. Trapped underneath the post was a Technician who works for The True Corporation. He had been crushed and trapped beneath the fallen post.
Khun Suppachai aged 38, who was working with his younger brother had been sent to the location to replace and move some fibre optic internet cables. Despite having received warnings that the post was in an unstable condition Khun Suppachai put up a wooden ladder and started to climb the post. The warnings proved accurate, the post fell over with Khun Suppachai falling backwards into the road and the post crushing his head and torso.
The post was eventually lifted and Khun Suppachai's body freed from the tangle of wires. His body was transported to hospital for a full post mortem to be carried out before his body can be released to relatives for funeral rites to be performed.
Police are investigating the incident further in conjunction with the Internet Company The True Corporation at this time.

South Pattaya Road Car Motorcycle Accident
Pattaya Reporters are often amongst the first responders at an accident scene. An emergency centre run by the Thappraya 2310 Foundation gets the notifications about incidents and puts out radio calls for emergency services to respond.
A call came in regarding a car, motorcycle accident outside Muu Baan Rungland on South Pattaya Road. Pattaya Police and a unit from The Sawang Boriboon Rescue Foundation responded.
At the scene they found a Yamaha Spark motorcycle laying in the middle of the road and laying close by it's rider Khun Am. Khun Am had suffered a back injury and was in a lot of pain. Medics gave him first aid, strapped him to a back board and transported him immediately to Bangkok Pattaya Hospital for further emergency treatment.
Also at the scene close by the wrecked motorcycle was a Mitsubishi Lancer car that had damage to it's front end. Reporters moved in to talk to the driver but he was belligerent, incoherent and seemed to be under the influence.
Witnesses however were a little more forthcoming and described the accident laying the blame firmly on the Mitsubishi driver who attempted to make a right turn and collided with the oncoming motorcyclist.
Police took statements, took pictures for evidence and then moved on to try to get a sober statement from the var driver.

Pattaya Traffic Policeman Killed by Hit and Run Killer
Pattaya Traffic Police this week are mourning the loss of one of it's senior and most respected officers. Police Lieutenant Pradit aged 55 was due to retire from the Pattaya Police force in a few months time after many years of service to the citizens of Pattaya.
Lieutenant Pradit was slain in a senseless and callous road accident which resulted in catastrophic fatal injuries and as is sadly the norm in Thailand the killer driver doing a runner and not hanging around the scene to face the music
Pattaya police, fellow traffic police officers and a unit of the Sawang Boriboon Thamasathan Rescue Foundation attended the crash which occurred on the Pattaya-bound carriageway of The Sukhumvit Highway between Central and North Pattaya, just before the exit leading to Highway 7. It was a gruesome scene. The police officers Honda Wave motorcycle laying on it's side and close by the body of Lieutenant Pradit. Witnesses to the accident including one of his Traffic Police comrades had seen Black Mitsubishi Pajero crash violently into the rear-end of the officer’s motorbike. The Pajero ran over the officer and then left the scene at high speed.
An alert went out on the police radio frequencies and soon a police unit in Nongkam Police Station in nearby Sriracha District spotted and stopped a vehicle matching the description of the Killer Mitsubishi. The driver, a Thai man whose identity has not yet been revealed was arrested whilst enquiries are made and a forensic team brought in to scrutinise his vehicle which clearly showed fresh damage to the front end.
Having been killed whilst on duty Police Lieutenant Pradit will be bestowed all the ceremonial privileges and his bereaved family taken care of by The Royal Thai Police Force and his stunned colleagues.

Thai Pervert Exposes Himself in Central Pattaya
A group of Pattaya office staff were enjoying a spot of lunch in a sub soi behind The Apichart Clinic on Pattaya Third Road in Central Pattaya when a young Thai man aged somewhere between 25-30 drew up on his Yamaha Fino Motorbike and proceeded to unzip and flash his genitals at the ladies.
The ladies were at first bemused - this doesn't happy everyday and they got out their phones and started to take pictures and video of the disgusting display. Emboldened the pervert boldly grabbed his boldness and started masturbating - all this caught on camera. The show was soon over as is the norm with Thai men and he put it away and rode off.
The ladies thought this was newsworthy so they posted the offensive episode on Facebook. Soon after they however realised that this episode was potentially more serious - what if next time he took his perverted actions a step further? They called the police who came along to study the video footage. No need for the ladies to give a description of the tosser as it was all caught on tape.
I talked to some lady friends about how they would deal with a similar situation. One suggested pointing to the offending member and laughing out load. Another had a more practical solution and involved two house bricks.

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.

Bike Gangs Tossing Grenades Wake Up Pattaya Community
It's not unusual for local residents in and around Pattaya to have their sleep interrupted by the sounds of screaming motorcycle engines as gangs of often alcohol and drug fueled Thai yobbos compete to see who can be the most obnoxious.
Pattaya Countdown festivities over The New Year saw a dramatic increase irresponsible in idiots roaming the highways, byways and sois of this fair city. Residents in Soi Khopai awoke not just to the sound of manic mopeds but also to the ominous sound of bombs going off.
Police rushed to the scene but the dumb wits had already disappeared into the night. There was clear evidence of a small device that had detonated and then police came across a couple of grenades that had failed to explode. Military bomb disposal experts were called in to do what they do best expertly dispose of bombs.
Residents and witnesses in the now not so sleepy community gave accounts of what appeared to be rival gangs of about 10-15 goons chasing their own tail pipes and then an escalation as they tried to wipe each other off the face of the earth by tossing hand grenades at each other.

Young Thai Lady Dies in Fall from Central Festival Shopping Mall Pattaya
Pattaya Police had only a short distance to cover from Pattaya Police Station to the second Road entrance of Central Festival Shopping Mall after a report came in that someone had jumped from the car park at the side of the Shopping Centre. At the scene they found only a blood stain on the ground as the person had already been taken by staff of the shopping mall to the nearby Pattaya Memorial Hospital.
At the hospital police ascertained the identity as Miss Nathan aged 26 from Buriram Province. It is thought that she was a shop worker at the Central Festival shopping mall.
As soon as the incident had occured a security guard was confronted with the massively injured body of Miss Nathan and had rushed to inform Mall management staff. A manager decided that it was not a nice thing for the dead body to be left in situ as it was high season and the sight of a mangled body would upset Thai and foreign customers coming and going at The Mall.
Whether she committed suicide by jumping from the 5th floor, was murdered and her body tossed over the parapet or this was an accidental death of some form we may never known as the only evidence was immediately removed.

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.

Pattaya Walking Street Entertainment Venues Undergo Fire Safety Inspections
Just before the Christmas and New Year celebrations in Pattaya swung into full gear Khun Komsan the Governor of Chonburi Province tasked Khun Amnat, the Chief Bailiff of Banglamung District with carrying out a series of inspections of safety standards in the town's nightclubs, discos and entertainment venues.
A team of Banglamung officials, fire safety experts and building safety officials and Pattaya Police officers started their task on Walking Street in South Pattaya where the bulk of foreign and Thai tourists will be flocking to enjoy the seasons festivities. Establishments were checked to make sure that they met stringent fire safety standards with requisite fire extinguishers and that water fire suppressing sprinkler systems and fire exits were available and serviceable.
The authorities are haunted by the tragic events of the Santika nightclub disaster in 2009 when a fire swept through the venue taking the lives of 59 mainly Thai revellers.
Some irregularities were found during the visits and the venues were served with notices and instructed to make make urgent changes otherwise they could be subject to temporary closure orders which would be devastating for the business in the midst of the high season.
Whilst touring Walking Street venues the Officers also detained a number of street vendors who were selling illegal fireworks in contravention of local regulations.

New Pattaya Beach Vendor Regulations
The Royal Thai Army are conducting manoeuvres on beaches in the Pattaya area. No they are not practising D-day style military beach landings the yare assisting Pattaya police to enforce a new set of regulations to make Pattaya a cleaner and clearer spot for tourists to comfortably cultivate their tans before they return home to snowy Siberia or frosty Finland.
Beach operators who man the numerous concessions along Pattaya and Jomtien Beaches are not happy chappies or chapessess. A complicated array of regulations has declared designated areas as public open beaches where vendors are not allowed to stick their brollies and line up their tables and deck chairs. Other areas where the operators are allowed to operate have found that hey can only open their operations for six days a week.
To add insult to injury January 6th and 7th has been designated Pattaya Beach Cleaning Day and no yes you heard that nill, nada deck chairs or umbrellas will be allowed out of their well guarded deck chair stacks.
So a minus minus for the beach operators. A plus for the much cleaner if rapidly eroding beach and a plus plus for the tourists who will be able to bring their own mats and towels and not have to pay for a nice comfy deck chair under a nice shady beach umbrella with a nice ice cold beer in their hands.

Pattaya Walking Street Doorman Loses His Cool Pattaya Police Officer Loses Face
A curious incident on Pattaya Walking Street saw a Doorman losing his Cool And a Pattaya Police Officer Losing Face. The doorman who works for a club on Walking Street thought it wise this week to surrender to the police after his unwise actions on Christmas day had led to a senior Pattaya Police officer being allegedly assaulted when he attempted to enter the club on official duties.
Pattaya Police Captain Yongyut was attempting to enter the Angkor Nightclub located in Soi 16 off Walking Street to investigate an alleged disturbance when he was prevented from doing so by one of the Doormen, Khun Witune aged 40.
The Police captain said that he was shoved in the chest. The doorman who claims he had only worked at the club for a couple of weeks claimed that he did not know that Police Captain Yongyut was a policemen as there were many Thai men trying to enter and most were not in the usual uniform but wearing orange and brown attire that did not signify the presence of official law enforcement officers.
Yes there was a disturbance in the club but he was worried about allowing Thai blokes to enter for fear that they maybe boyfriends of the female Thai staff in the venue which could stir up further trouble. Police made a number of arrests, unrelated to the alledged assault on the Police Captain. Seven of the staff at the Nightclub were found to be Cambodian Nationals and could not produce passports or work permits.
Police Colonel Supatee, the Pattaya Police Chief said that the Doorman had apologised for his actions and Police have charged him with a misdemeanor of interfering with the duty of a Royal Thai Police Officer and Khun Witune has been released on 30,000 Baht Bail pending a future Court appearance.

North Pattaya Late Night Drinking Venue Raided
A task force of over 100 police officers led by senior officers from Chonburi and Pattaya gathered outside a pub in North Pattaya in a well planned operation to raid the after hours establishment. At 3.30 am a raiding party of officers entered the premises of The Noir Pub and Restaurant in North Pattaya where around 300 revellers were having a jolly good time.
The throbbing music was turned off and the lights turned on. For reasons known only to themselves many of the disco dancing dumb wits decided it was not wise to hang around and attempted to exit stage left stage right stage back and stage front. They did not get far as police officers had anticipated the party goers urge to head home and had cordoned off the whole venue.
The early morning drinking den was thought by the police to be a haven for drug taking, debauchery and underage drinking. The reluctant revelers now guests of the boys in brown were searched, had their ID's checked and then had the piss taken out of them by drug enforcement agents.
As expected a number of urine samples turned a pretty purple colour and 9 young persons became longer term guests and were given a free ride to Pattaya Police Station to undergo further tests for the presence of narcotic substances. Small quantities of illegal drugs were found on the persons and dumped around the premises this included 12 cigarettes that seemed to contain more than the normal tobacco contents and 5 Ecstasy tablets wrapped in tissue paper.
There was a curious incident also when a fellow claiming to be a police officer attempted to plant drugs in the club with the intention of extorting 50,000 Baht from the already unlucky patrons. Apparently the pseudo policeman slipped out from his fellow real police officers and disappeared into the night.
A senior officer explained to the gathered media that this was just one of a series of ongoing raids on late night entertainment venues with the aim of suppressing drug use and quelling the growing preponderance of fights and violent altercations that are a natural result of gangs of drug and whiskey Thai youths not always seeing eye to eye in the early hours of the morning.

Increase in Traffic Stops in Pattaya Area Over New Year Holiday
Police in the area across the region and indeed all over Thailand have been planning their New Year Party for a long time. Senior Police officers at Na Jomtien for example explained that they plan extra patrols and police traffic check points on the Sukhumvit Highway which traverses their jurisdiction.
Regular traffic cops will be bolstered by police volunteers who have been ordered rather than volunteering to man the checkpoints in an effort to curtail the tsunami of illegal activities like riding a motorcycle without a helmet, driving a car without a seat belt or God forbid not carrying a valid driving licence.
Thais and farangs alike whinge at these draconian tactics. There is however a real motive for this apparent petty pestering of the travelling public.
Sukhumvit Highway is not only a major thoroughfare for traffic but also a hub for the trafficking of illegal drugs and firearms which are often found and seized in these seemingly routine traffic stops.
New Year as well as Songkran has been the traditional time for the culling of the Thai population. Warning The Royal Thai Police are getting tough on idiots who operate lethal machines on Thai roads whilst under the influence of alcohol. So unless you have loads of dosh in your wallet or a get out of jail free card then get well oiled to your heart's content but leave those car, motorcycle keys at home.

Sukhumvit Highway is not only a major thoroughfare for traffic but also a hub for the trafficking of illegal drugs and firearms which are often found and seized in these seemingly routine traffic stops.
New Year as well as Songkran has been the traditional time for the culling of the Thai population. Warning The Royal Thai Police are getting tough on idiots who operate lethal machines on Thai roads whilst under the influence of alcohol. So unless you have loads of dosh in your wallet or a get out of jail free card then get well oiled to your heart's content but leave those car, motorcycle keys at home.
Pattaya Girl Dressed as Santa Robbed on Soi Buakhow Gets a Happy Ending
A couple of Pattaya low lifes decided to get themselves a Christmas present and some dosh to celebrate the New Year in Style. Drugs and alcohol are not cheap in Pattaya especially when the wallet is clearly devoid of pictures of our beloved King.
They soon spotted Santa Claus riding a motorcycle along Soi Buakhao. Santa was wearing a a short red skirt a red hat with a white fluffy pom pom and sporting a nice gold necklace that they were sure would look a lot better behind the counter of a pawn shop. The dimwits did not take into account that Santa doesn't normally ride a Honda Wave, there was no snow on Soi Buakhow and the young lady although she was dressed in a Santa outfit did certainly not sport a long white beard.
They rode up alongside Khun Rungfah aged 28 and relieved her of her hard earned gold necklace. Unluckily for them some of Santa's helpers were nearby and spotted the highway robbery go down. The elves disguised as Pattaya Police officers gave chase as the thieves sped off.
A high speed chase ensued around the streets of Pattaya and finally ended by the railway tracks in East Pattaya when the boys in brown bagged the barmy bandits.
Khun Rungfah was delighted to get her slightly damaged gold jewelry back. Khun Jetsada aged 18 and Khun Wittaya aged 19 however were not so happy and ended up spending Christmas in a cell in Pattaya Police Station. When Santa drops by the station they will certainly be on the naughty list. No drugs for you this year young men.
