Pattaya Beach cops crack down on nighttime mischief
In a dramatic crackdown on mischief by moonlight, a battalion of law enforcement officers swept Pattaya Beach last night. This bold move came hot on the heels of a shocking knife incident involving a rebellious beach chair vendor who went rogue on a city official after being slapped with a warning for peddling booze and kratom juice on the sands without a licence.
Leading the charge was Bang Lamung’s no-nonsense district chief Weekit Manarotkit, alongside Pattaya’s top cop, Police Colonel Navin Theerawit. Their mission? To extinguish any hint of naughtiness and shield innocent sunseekers, especially those drawn to the beach after dark.
Officers swooped in with a series of surprise inspections, rooting out dodgy dealers renting mats or flogging unlicensed alcohol and kratom drinks. Their vigilant patrol uncovered no lawbreakers this time, but the call to arms remains: tourists are urged to flag any shifty goings-on to the local bobbies for swift justice.
Chief Weekit was quick to reassure that this tough stance is all part of a grand plan to polish Pattaya’s image as the holiday season kicks off, reported Pattaya News.
In related Pattaya News, a Norwegian expatriate was discovered dead in harrowing circumstances in the early hours of yesterday morning in his Pattaya hotel room after allegedly inflicting horrific injuries upon himself. Shortly after 4am, yesterday, October 20, the Sawang Boriboon Rescue Centre received a frantic alert about a foreigner’s disturbing behaviour and self-harm in a second-floor room on Soi 14.
Upon arrival, local police and brave rescue crews were met with a gruesome scene: the man, stark naked, lay in front of the bathroom, bleeding profusely from deep facial cuts. The room painted a chilling picture of chaos and violence—with blood stains and shattered glass strewn across the bed, pointing to a fierce struggle.
