Arab problem sorted on soi 17 tonight ....

[thaiworthy]

As in most situations the authorities ŕemain useless it is time for the locals to act and show these pigs it is unsafe to continue their antics.

Not a good idea to take the law into your own hands.

No it is not.
But it is frustrating when the authorities are useless.
Seems to be always the case, unless there are some baht in it for them.

A few arrests, heavy fines, and deportations might send a message.

The Arabs whom posters are accusing of this behaviour are hardly typical of their race and culture. They come from the Gulf States which are wealthy, authoritarian and, remember, pro-American; they are no use to those of us in the movement for human rights in Palestine for a good reason- their wealth makes them more sympathetic to the rapacious Israelis stealing land by the day and in Jun's word "crushing" the indigenous population.

Name at least one non-authoritarian Arab state. You seem to hint that their behavior in Pattaya are similar to behaviour of Americans. But Americans (as well as tourists from all other countries) do not behave like that in Pattaya.

I assume you have not been to cities like Berlin, Prague, Tallinn, the coastal cities in Spain etc, where young British louts fly on cheap tickets to party at week-ends for the sole objective of getting utterly blind drunk (and some no doubt high on drugs) - much to the anger of local residents? Last I heard the UK was a democracy.

And that's the whole point.

When I was a young teenager I went to a British military school in Hong Kong. The headmaster drilled into us that we were ambassadors for our country, even at that age.

He re-itterated many times that the local population will form an opinion of the country by our behaviour.

A lesson well learnt. It's a shame some of these "tourists" don't get the same briefing.

[Undaunted]

Asinine commentary by those not directly affected.

[Gaybutton]

Not a good idea to take the law into your own hands.

Of course not, but I know what I'd like to do.

I know it is not possible, but does it not delight your imagination?

It is illuminating to do a Google search: "Arab boy racers London"

There seems to be a problem there too.

It seems the local constabulary along with Immigration Officers paid another visit - 34 arrested - some fined (helmet & license) - those that didn't have their passports were taken by Immigration for further investigation to see if they were on overstay.

Well this is a start but nitely patrols are needed and hopefully the news will get back to the shitholes they come from and perhaps stop other scumbags from coming.

A Letter to the Editor in the Pattaya Mail:

Not so easy riders take over South Pattaya
July 7, 20170141
Editor;

Why is it there is never a policeman available when you need one? Ramadan is over and the guests from the Middle East have returned in force to take over Soi Yensabai in South Pattaya. They have all hired motorbikes and spend all night having road races around the nearby streets. They also spend all night revving up bikes to their maximum level so that families within a one mile radius are kept awake!

Pattaya Police could make a fortune in fines by visiting the area in the evening and overnight! Not one of the ‘road racers’ wears a helmet and there are usually at least two riders per bike! Whether they have driving licences could also be checked.

Worst of all they park the bikes all day so that they block the road. This means that if there was a fire or accident, emergency vehicles would not be able to get through. The Pattaya Police could easily take away about 100 high-speed motorbikes and they would never be missed.

These visitors from the Middle East have taken over this area of Pattaya with a total disregard for local people.
