With tourism levels in Pattaya the lowest it has ever been in a while, and businesses shutting their doors left and right, thousands upon thousands of Pattaya's manual laborers and day laborers and for-hire workers are also feeling the pinch... and many may — instead of heading back home to the rice fields — may be turning to crime.I'm afraid that this type of violent, terrible crime really cannot be avoided: A foreigner being jumped off his motorcycle and robbed by 2 thugs. (Hitting him in the head with a brick is particularly vicious and alarming... suggesting a very high measure of desperation.) The only thing that can be recommended is to use a heightened level of common sense, avoiding even modestly dark or dangerous places, keeping your houses and apartments extra secure, and watching your back extra carefully.
By the way, if anybody knows where Soi Dong Yai Lao is... where this crime took place... please put it in the comment section.
