First is an update on the
Turkish tourist who was "arrested" the other night by men pretending to be police officers, and then beaten while handcuffed. The police are taking the incident very seriously, and are turning Pattaya upside down in search for the criminals. Good for them.
Second, we have yet another
Pattaya police volunteer pretending to be an actual police officer... this time with some out-of-town police doing bar inspections on Third Road. The out-of-towners did exactly what I said you should do: They called the
real police. Yet another "volunteer" bites the dust.
With the baht strong all over the world, Thailand's shrimp market has not done well lately. Down the coast yesterday, there was a "
shrimp fair", where the local fishermen sold shrimp at discounted costs. Did you know most shrimp in America comes from Thailand? Sure does. So do most computer hard drives.
Yet another
expatriate drug dealer is arrested here in Pattaya. I suppose there is some amount of money... millions of dollars, maybe... for which I would make a
one-time gamble against 10-15 years in a Thai prison, but taking that kind of risk
every day for a couple thousand dollars? What a stupid person that is.
