Rimmer Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Police insist no Chinese mafia in Pattaya Pattaya:--Just as they did during the peak of the area’s Russian-tourism boom, local law enforcement officials again are insisting there is no Chinese organized crime in Pattaya. Top Pattaya, Tourist and Immigration police officers asserted that there are no “mafia” or “triad” gangs operating in Pattaya, despite recent Thai media claims to the contrary following a brawl among Chinese nationals in a Pattaya restaurant. Most Chinese come to Pattaya in tour groups and don’t operate businesses here, Pattaya’s police chief Pol. Col. Apichai Kroppech said. Tourist Pol. Lt. Col. Piyapong Ensarn said there were some Chinese business owners, but most operated restaurants while others have companies in Bangkok. Deputy Chonburi Immigration chief Pol. Lt. Col. Thawatchai Nongbua said Chinese expats were mostly tour operators. The police denials mirror those done by law enforcement and city administrators back in 2013, when Pattaya was as overrun by Russians as it now is by Chinese. Numerous arrests of Russian mafia fugitives fueled a steady stream of reports about Moscow organized crime gangs operating in far-out Jomtien Beach. The heads of the Chonburi Immigration Office, Banglamung District, Pattaya Tourist Police, and the Pattaya Business & Tourism Association, joined top officials from police stations in Chonburi, Nongprue, Banglamung and Pattaya and representatives from the National Intelligence Agency and Internal Security Operational Command on July 31, 2013 to condemn local media reports about crimes by both foreigners and Thais.

I always have assumed the local authorities there could take that position...because... many of the Chinese gangsters there are running around with fake or otherwise illegitimate Thai national IDs, which effectively makes them Thai,, not Chinese!

hansnl Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Where there is a Chinese mainland or HK community, there will be criminality. The Chinese are obsessed by money, at least that is what the Chinese authorities claimed. Squeeze is king! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only true in countries where there is a lot of freedom, or too much freedom compared to China. Have a look at what's going on in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. The place is infested with criminality, most of which is associated with Chinese gangs and the casinos there. Also, reportedly 20% of the entire city's population is mainland Chinese now. There is hardly a comparison with Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
