pandorea Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 I googled for the news and havn't found any specific details but.. English woman raped in PattayaNovember 18th, 2009 | PattayaThe Thai news in Pattaya and Bangkok has failed to report that a English woman was raped and robbed in central Pattaya last week. The story come from a member on the Thai visa forum and was published in the Daily Mail in the UK. We have earlier told you that the news agencies in Pattaya have strict orders to not report to much violent crime from Pattaya. Thailand will never have a progress if the press is not free; people need to see the truth about the crime in Thailand.The 25 year old woman from the UK was dragged away by two local gang bangers that police called “cockroaches†guys that just create problem in the holiday resort in Pattaya. The police were able to arrest them after two days since they knew who the local “cockroaches†are in this area in Pattaya. But this is the problem, in any other country the Police would do preventing methods’ to arrest this kind of persons before they hurt more people not after. This kind of people probably live on crime and to hustle people and could have been arrested long time before.On the Thai Visa forum some people talking about moving back or to another country (as they do normally do) and some said Pattaya is safer than their home town and we should be happy to be in such town. The problem is that Pattaya is not a normal town it is a tourist’s town! The only income Pattaya have is the tourists / expats and nothing else and if they move away Pattaya would go back to a poor fishing village. The government and the Police should really be out in force to come down hard on crime in Pattaya. http://www.personalthailand.com/wordpress/english-woman-raped-in-pattaya/ Must wait for a report on English newspaper then.

English_Bob Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Maeng da means 'horseshoe crab' - (a disgusting trilobite looking thing) However Thais use it as an very insulting word for pimp (it's very bad). The reason is, the male horseshoe crab attaches itself to a female and lets her do all the walking and scavenging for food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either this happens really often or there were about 10 TF'ers at the same beach at the same time watching this poor guy get the crap kicked out of him. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_Bob Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I was in Pattaya in the weekend and I saw a tourist get hit in the face by a jet ski hire guy. I've been meaning to write about it, but been too busy at work. I used to hire a surf board from a Thai guy on Kata beach every week. He was huge - easily 6'3, heavily tattooed and a boxer's build. One week I heard him shouting at a customer... actually screaming, "You break, you pay!!!" The customer was a farang kid about 14 years old - (who looked like he was gonna crap in his swimming trunks). Seriously, the Thai guy towered over him, poking him in the chest and shouting at the top of his voice. Then the kid's father showed up - a Russian guy, late 30's... he was once probably pretty well-built, but looked pretty doughy. I watched him approach the Thai guy and ask what was going on. The Thai guy turned on him, "He break, you pay!! He break, you pay!" The Dad said something like, "Never mind." (which I believe he meant as 'Calm down, it's easily settled.') But the Thai guy swung a huge over-hand right to the guy's jaw. He went down like a tree felled - face first, open-mouthed into the sand. He didn't even try to put out his hands. He was twitching a bit in the sand for a few seconds, then tried to stand up on jelly-legs. He started walking towards the Thai guy, and I think he wanted to continue fighting. But I ran in between and intervened telling him, "You can't win... look up there..." And pointed to a group of 8 or 9 Thai guys who were gathering like jackals at the top of the beach. I knew the Thai guy pretty well and had always got on with him. But watching him knock out that Russian guy, in front of his son for virtually nothing was a really shitty thing to do. It was a sucker punch against a much weaker opponent - a real bully's trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
