Crime

I'm really thinking about moving out of Pattaya because of the crime. Every time I look at the news, it seems to be getting worse. In the last month alone, there have been 6 murders (including 2 farangs), 6 attempted murders/shootings (including 2 farangs), and 4 farang suicides.

That doesn't even begin to cover the hundreds of muggings, break-ins, rapes, and drug-related violence that occur in Pattaya each month.

That also doesn't even begin to cover thousands of incidents of rowdy behavior and fights, traffic accidents, and petty crime.

I'm not sure I'll leave because all of my friends are here, but if I do leave, it will be because of the crime.
