This is a very worrying trend starting up here. A girl was shot the other week in Soi Bukhao for no apparent reason by "youths" and now this. I'm not naive to know people can't buy guns easily here, but surely we need more police on the streets. If there are many more cases like this Pattaya is going to suffer massively. Let's wait and see what the story on the guy is??

The news made the English papers as well,one paper referred to Pattaya as "sleazy massage parlour resort",not far off the mark really!!

"It is known for its beaches, a thriving sex industry and problems with crime."

A bloke from Essex was gunned down outside his house, in front of his kids the other day. It is everywhere.

I lived in Somalia for a year and never got shot. Hmmm, I don't think it means Somalia is safe.

 

Thailand isn't that bad. Think you just have to keep your wits about you like in the states.
