webfact Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Pattaya: Out of control Canadian swaps machete for jet ski rampage Thai caption: Jetski farang chased and arrested Harbor officials in Pattaya chased a foreign man annoying people in the bay on a jet ski yesterday. When he was eventually arrested it turned out to be a Canadian man. It was the same man who had threatened neighbors with a machete in a rooftop rampage in the middle of last month. William Alexander Baker, 45, was arrested at the Ocean Marina after a long chase in the sea. Chief of the tourist police in Pattaya Lt-Col Piyapong Ensarn had received a report of a man annoying others in Pattaya bay and at Bali Hai port. The harbor master officials chased him to Koh Larn where he continued to annoy swimmers riding his jet ski in a dangerous manner. On arrest his papers were found to be in order but he was told that his captain's licence was now withdrawn and any further infractions and he would be prosecuted. The tourist police and immigration handed him over to Na Jomtien police for prosecution on charges of a breach of the peace. Baker is the same man who was wielding a machete in a standoff with neighbors on a roof in Kasetsin Soi 2 on the weekend of July 13th/14th. On that occasion he had shouted: "I've chopped down bigger trees than you". That case is still being dealt with, reported Sanook.

Have I missed something obvious here - what has a captain's licence to do with riding a jet ski? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Some people will just always be an idiot and this fella seems to fall in that bracket. If the good guys in and bad guys out thing is still operating, he should be shown the door, and have it closed so he can't come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeEyedRaven Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I am very surprised he is still here after the machete wielding incident. And once again he seems to be getting off very lightly after annoying loads of people, acting dangerously around swimmers and refusing to stop for the harbour officials. With people like this it is probably only a matter of time before he goes mental again, at which point you can only hope they kick him out, so he can go piss people off back home.

I think all jet skiers should be arrested for annoying people. They are the worst idea since McDonalds claimed their salads were healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory... he's the poster boy being used by Thai Immigration to show that all foreigners are evil and cannot be trusted. Soon the entire populace of Thailand will be demanding that all foreigners be deported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a Captains licence you can carry a large knife. In the 1800’s it used to be a sword or cutlass! Are you following me so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something to do with safe operation of a vessel or perhaps you figure he was a captain with an airline. Facetious too big a word for me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
