lanista 1,195 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Mafia? Sounds like typical Thai media xenaphobia towards foreigners. If the rebels or bandidos had come calling to serve out punishment i doubt if he would of walked out, albeit groggily. He's pissed off some local soi bar farangs & Thais.

mark01 1,248 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 BiB just find a way to shut you down if you don't pay. Sounds like he has a history with someone. Lot of foreigners doing whatever they want in this town under the delusion of "protection" from some Thai. Link to post Share on other sites
pi2005ni 121 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Lk metro is still controlled by a certain type of foreigner, police cleared it out a few years ago after a friend of mine , who had a business in Lk metro had a fall out with another business owner. My friend (Australian) was shopping at Thepisit market and as he was on his way back to his car , was approached by a group of Thai guys who bundled him into the rear of a car . However as the car slowed and turned into Sukumvit he threw himself from the Car onto the road and escaped . A week later after further problems he flew back to Australia with his family and left his business. Link to post Share on other sites

Baerboxer 34,985 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Interesting to see how this develops. Maybe he was pissed and got into a silly argument with someone who don't take kindly to such things. Maybe it's more. Ah, the pond life of Pattaya! Btw: what happened in the case of the American killer who killed the Aussie recently? Or the guy having trouble with Aussie bikers up North? Not seen any reports for sometime.
