Popular Post chooka Posted September 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2013 4.30 am, that means he has to wait 12 hours before the tourist court opens before he can report it. What do tourists do to feel safe and prevent this between the hours of 8.30 pm and 4.30 pm. The court was established so that tourists could feel safe and enjoy their holiday. Guess this guy was lured into a false sense of security. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 2 against one drunk guy ... typical here .... Well man , next time dont stay on the beach at 4.30am and drunk ..... Good advice to everyone, everywhere. It would be a shame if the muggings and street robberies found in more developed countries would start to be a regular occurance in Pattaya, but it is probably inevitable. Common sense is required. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post uty6543 Posted September 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted September 11, 2013 Of course the two criminals are 100% to blame for this incident but everyone needs to have a little common sense and not leave yourself vulnerable to crooks like this in any country. Go get drunk that's fine, but go with friends. Pattaya is a great place to holiday or live if you just think about the consequences of your own actions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess this guy was lured into a false sense of security. Tourist Court was set up to mainly handle low level scams and disputes for quick resolution. Criminal matters such as robbery with violence should be reported to the Tourist Police/RTP and sentencing would be dealt with by the Provincial Court in Jomtien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty of beaches where you can sit safely at any time of the day or night. If you and others on this thread continue to blame the victims, you're effectively arguing for the right to a higher crime rate and lazy, corrupt law enforcement. If you do that often enough, you'll get what you asked for. The beginning and the end of the argument is that it is NOT acceptable for anyone to harm someone for commercial gain wherever and whenever it happens. Shame on those who apologise for criminals. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a great place to holiday if the tourists have to be subjected to this crap, and the crappy apathy and ineptness that follows in sequence of being beaten and robbed. It's not as if the nice man were in a dark alley chugging from a brown paper bag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipperylobster Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Maybe he thought he was on "Papaya" beach and not Pattaya. Of course you are going to get robbed at 430 am on the beach at Pattaya.. It's kind of a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
