Rimmer Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Deputy mayor visits injured German PATTAYA:--Pattaya’s deputy mayor visited a geriatric German injured when he stumbled over a broken bus stop. Ronakit Ekasingh and officials from the city engineering and tourism offices called on Rolf Paul Boettiger, 80, at the Green Park Resort where he was staying Feb. 23. Boettiger tripped on the foundation of a bus stop outside La Ferme Restaurant on Naklua Road the day before. He was treated at a nearby hospital for unspecified injuries. Ronakit apologized and said the bus stop has now been repaired and cones placed at other places in Pattaya that could pose a danger to tourists. Boettiger was given 20,000 baht for medical expenses from the tourist aid fund. (PCPR) -- PATTAYA MAIL 2019-01-03-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the balance of the 'tourist aid fund' stands at, and what other uses it has been put to? I'm guessing it can only be the noxious gases emanating from the sewers that are still making the injured guy laugh so hysterically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that they do smile most prolifically when taking money from you. The modern 'Wai' has a single upturned palm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
