Cat burglars caught?

Crimes by foreigners in Pattaya have begun to become quite common. The Bangla-mung police received a report from the Dusit Resort that 2 foreign thieves had been caught by security officers at the hotel.
Upon arriving at the scene, police found the 2 thieves, Summaro Affari, 26, a Turkish national, and Said Sosareks, 24, an Iranian national, with a screwdriver and a motorcycle, with which they had committed the crimes. Police kept these as evidence.
Both men confessed to posing as tourists in order to ‘case’ the hotel and find rooms where the pickings were good. They broke into 6 rooms and found nothing of value as no-one was staying in the rooms at the time.
Police found that the rooms had minor damage from the forced entries. Investigators are quite suspicious as the Apex Hotel recently had a large robbery and they feel it might be the work of these two.

Accused Briton is focus of Thai child-sex purge

by Andrew Drummond
A Briton accused of corrupting children will become the focus of a Thai campaign to round up paedophiles and deter others from using the country as a destination for “sex tourism”. James Fraser Darling, 47, an academic and son of a former Oxford don, will appear in court in Phuket charged with a range of offenses with nine children aged from 7 to 13. The case has been brought by non-government child welfare agencies and prosecutors will be calling for “the severest penalty under Thai law” ­ eight years’ jail for each offense. Recently, a German was sentenced to 43 years for offenses against four children.
General Salang Bunag, Thailand’s Deputy Police Chief, has offered child-watch groups the use of helicopters and an instant-reaction group of officers to move quickly into tourist areas from Bangkok when offenses against children are reported. The general said this was to end the “tradition” by local police in the tourist areas of Phuket, Chiang Mai and Pattaya of accepting bribes of up to £12,500 to lose evidence.
The move comes just two days after Scotland Yard officers reached an intelligence-sharing accord with police in the Philippines on suspected paedophile offenders.
Mr Fraser Darling, son of the late Sir Frank Fraser Darling, a naturalist and conservationist, was arrested over a year ago after members of two non-government organisations ­ Phuket Child Watch and the Children’s Rights Protection Centre ­ reported his activities to police and handed over a number of photographs allegedly showing him naked with “sea gypsy” children.
He had taken a cottage on Rawai Beach, Phuket, the home to the “sea people” ­ an ethnic minority who worship spirits and earn their living selling lobsters and shellfish. He secured a job as an English teacher at the local Prince of Songhkla University.
According to statements to be produced in court, he befriended the children, buying them bicycles as presents, and organised parties on a neighbouring uninhabited island, inviting other tourist friends to join him. He became known as “Uncle James”. Supaluck Methakul, the Child Watch chairwoman, said: “We hope this serves as a test case.” A German citizen was arrested after living with two nine-year-old girls, one Cambodian girl and one Thai. He was arrested at the insistence of the German police and fined £120 for harbouring an illegal alien. The children have gone into care.
Colin Cotterell, 45, from Wimbledon, South London, a founder member of Child Watch, said: “Many of the young children working here are Khmer or Burmese or Vietnamese. We have tried to set up a school to give them education but gang leaders pick them up in trucks and take them elsewhere.”

10 baht disagreement leads to 500 baht fine

Assailant and victim iron things out at Pattaya police station.

Apparently not all mini-bus drivers are taking heed of the advice given them at last week’s meeting in the Grand Sole Hotel, as Pattaya police received yet another complaint of a mini-bus driver assault against a tourist.
The driver of mini-bus no. 117 assaulted a tourist from France. The incident occurred in front of the Surf House Hotel. The driver, Mr. Suchart Boonmee, disappeared after the incident, leaving the victim, Mr. Billy Jean Francois, at the scene. Police managed to find the driver and brought both to the station for questioning.
Francois said he had been staying in Pattaya for some time and went to Jomtien Beach every morning in a mini-bus and usually paid 10 baht. On the day in question, he gave the driver 10 baht as usual but the driver wanted 20 baht. Francois refused to pay the extra 10 baht.
Boonmee then descended from the bus and struck Francois in the back of his head so hard that he fell face down to the pavement. Boonmee then heroically fled the scene.
Boonmee swore up and down that he and Francois had agreed on a price of 20 baht, but upon arriving, Francois only gave him 10.
The police, having heard all of this many times before, fined the driver 500 baht for being so uncontrolled, then gave him a stern lecture about his contributing to the disintegration of Pattaya’s image.

Tourist assistance program pays off

After a long and successful career as a snatch and run thief, Supha’s luck finally ran out when he was caught by a tourist assistance volunteer on Soi 2.

A petty thief living on luck was finally caught when Pattaya police received a report from Mr. Virasak Ketuthep, a tourist assistance volunteer, that a purse snatcher and petty thief had been apprehended near the Sophia beer bar, Soi 2.
Police went to the scene and found the thief, Mr. Supha Khanthongdee, 49, being held with stolen goods and a knife, which he apparently used as a weapon.
From questioning, police learned that he was a professional thief. He told officers that his main method of operation was stealing tourists’ valuables, using the snatch and run method. He said he had always been successful, so decided to make this his regular line of work.
He told officers that after he had snatched purses and wallets, he would spend the money and then begin again. Europeans were the easiest targets due to their relative inability to differentiate between Asian faces. He said his luck ran out when he ran afoul of Mr. Jimmy Martin Andersen of Denmark. Mr. Anderson looked like he had a good deal of money, so the thief followed him to a beer bar on Soi 2 where Mr. Anderson obligingly laid his wallet down on a marble table. Supha snatched the wallet and was making his escape on a motorcycle when Mr. Virasak saw him and managed to catch him. But Supha put up a fight and in a rough and tumble clinch, his motorcycle fell over, alerting nearby citizens, who helped Virasak.
Supha had almost got away with 7,100 baht cash, 4,200 baht in Danish Kroners, a gold necklace worth 16,000 baht, and a mobile phone. Police returned Mr. Andersen’s property, which made him very happy with police officers wonderful work. Mr. Andersen thanked Mr. Virasak for risking his life as the thief had tried to stab him with his knife. Mr. Andersen also thanked the citizens profusely.

Ministry reiterates child sex crackdown

As the Ministry of the Interior is putting great emphasis on abolishing child prostitution, all areas of the country are becoming very strict about this.
Chatpong Chatphoot, the District Chief of Banglamung, has informed all enter-tainment places that they should be very careful about how they conduct their business as these places are where child prostitution occurs. He has thus ordered the following: There will be no sexual molestation of children, male or female. If there is, prosecution will occur.
He also warns both Thais and foreigners that any such behaviour with children under 15 years of age, whether they are dependants or willing participants, will not be tolerated, and offenders will face prosecution.

Another woman caught in “gold scam”

Taken in by a gold swap scam, Thongdee sits disconsolately at Pattaya police station.

Greed makes “victims” easy prey for con-artists.
Ms. Thongdee Khamlert reported to Pattaya police that while she was walking to the market in front of the Grand Hotel, she saw two Thai women at the same time as she saw a 10 baht gold necklace lying on the ground. She was bending down to pick up the necklace as the two women tried to wrest it away from her, saying that they had seen it too.
The women made an agreement with Thongdee and told her if she gave them the 2 baht necklace she was wearing, they would let her have the 10 baht ornament. Thongdee, not wanting to appear greedy, gave them this and the 3 baht bracelet she was wearing. The women then put all the gold into a bag and took Thongdee to a deserted place to divide it up.
When they arrived at a featureless alley, the two women said never mind, Thongdee could have it all as she had seen it first. They gave her the bag and walked away quickly. When she delightedly opened the bag, she found that all the gold, including hers, had been taken and she was left holding a bag full of about 20 ten baht denomination coins. She ran after the women but they were already gone. She reported this outrage to the police.
After hearing the sad story, the police sent out a squad to catch the two women but found not a trace of the deceivers.
Police did surmise that the gang tended to prey on women who wore a lot of gold and appeared to be a bit stupid and greedy. Police told reporters that this gang has been engaged in this at the market for some time now. This market is also illegal and police said they have not been able to catch the perpetrators of the gold scam yet.

Police begin child sex crackdown

Responding to last week’s letter from Banglamung District Officer Chatpong Chataraphuti regarding the ‘get tough’ policy on child prostitution (Pattaya Mail, Vol. V No. 7, p. 6), Pattaya police set up a sting operation to capture gangs or persons in the city pimping girls under the age of 15.
Police sent an undercover officer, disguised as a tourist from Hong Kong, into the Disco Duck discotheque carrying marked 500 baht notes. Upon entering, the supposed tourist let it be known that he was interested in a girl under 15. He was soon approached by Bangorn Imsamang, 20, who told him she could procure what he wanted for 2000 baht. She said she would send the girl to the front of a large central Pattaya hotel. The disguised officer agreed and gave her 2000 baht.
Bangorn then brought a young girl, ‘Kung’, to the appointed area, at which time the officer revealed himself to be a policeman. Police arrested Banghorn and took her to the police station for interrogation.
Upon questioning, Ban-gorn told police that she had known Kung for a short period of time and had rented a room for her. She had become her procuress. Police charged her with procuring and the contri-buting to the delinquency of minors.
The young ‘Kung’ said her mother was an English teacher in a Thai school upcountry. She said her mother was very demanding so she ran away from home. When she ran out of money, she began selling herself.
Kung is being held in custody and her parents are being contacted.

Vice squad grabs gamblers

Pattaya’s commanding police officers had a meeting with their subordinates and told them to come down hard on gamblers who are seeking financial ruin and moral perdition.
Police followed their commander’s orders and found that there was a Hi-Lo game going on at the Inter-House Apartment. This raid netted 30 people who were taken for questioning at the Pattaya police station.
The very next day police swept down on 5 men and 5 women who were in the throes of throwing their money away in a poker game. When they saw officers they quickly dispersed, but police managed to catch all ten.
The third coup was the thwarting of a Hi-Lo game which was being played near Diamond Tour’s office. Police confiscated a Hi-Lo board and a .22 calibre pistol with a false registration. Six people were arrested and charged with gambling and the owner of the house was charged with possession of an illegal weapon.

Youths drown

Two young children, Vali and Sutthivan, 9 and 10 years old respectively, drowned last week in Sport Time Pond.
The children’s aunt told police that the two had asked her permission to go swimming and she had assented as it was a usual pastime and both were good swimmers. She said that the children swam in the pond every day after school, but on the day of the drowning, she became suspicious when they failed to return home at the usual time, so she notified the police.
Banglamung police and six divers went to the pond to retrieve the bodies, which took over 40 minutes.

Caravanserais report disappointing Chinese New Year

Pattaya, which is usually very busy during the Chinese New Year season, ex-perienced a very poor turn-out of tourists this year. During this particular holiday, the roads are usually full of Sinitic revellers, doing their best to drive away that nasty creature, Nien.
However, this year the traffic was not snarled like bird’s nest soup and although there were some tourists, the amount was much smaller than last year.
Hotel and bungalow occupancy rates, which are usually quite high during the Chinese New Year weekend, were relatively low this year, with an overabundance of vacancies.
Tourists who did come told reporters that a lot of their friends did not come to Pattaya as they were afraid there would be no accom-modations, as was the case last year. They said people were also anticipating heavy traffic, a shortage of food and other inconveniences, so they did not show.
This may cause a weakening of Pattaya’s economy and make people have to tighten their belts this year.

Artist commits suicide

Police received a report that a 23 year old artist, Thamrondej Ratanamanee, 23, had committed suicide at his residence in Soi Thepasit.
Police went to the scene and found the young man’s body on the floor next to bottles of whiskey and soft drinks. There were signs that the man had also eaten. There were no signs of struggle.
A letter, addressed to Ms. Valaiporn Boonying, was found in the man’s pocket, along with a bankbook with both names on the account. He left her a farewell letter and told her that she could have all the money in the account. The police are now looking for Valaiporn in order to question her.
Officers surmise that the suicide was due to Thamrongdej’s financial problems. Police said he had apparently ingested acid, but first had eaten a large meal.

Youth stabbed

Another instance of senseless and antisocial gang warfare occurred last week. The problem with teenage gangs fighting for no reason or very silly reasons has been a blight on Thai society for a long time. The members of these gangs are very dangerous. They are also a craven lot as they will always back down from a one to one fight in the boxing ring with gloves. They prefer to run in packs and attack individuals or smaller groups.
Police had to break up yet another of these pathetic and senseless fights recently. Crime Suppression Division police received a report that about 20 adolescents were engaged in a fight. When they arrived on the scene the cowardly kids scattered and ran, but officers managed to arrest 3 of the hooligans. They also found Vachira Jaengtham, 16, lying in the street. He had been stabbed 3 times. He was taken to Pattaya Memorial Hospital and is in critical condition.
One of the other 3, Somchart Aila, 15, confessed to the stabbing of Vachira. He said Vachira had been flirting with the same girl he had and he needed a lesson as to who was who. The 15 year old Romeo was not contrite.
The other 2, Virayuth Changkhaokham, 14, and Vichit Pannyathong, 18, confessed to being at the scene and carrying weapons but snivelled that they had hurt no one.
The 3 were sent to the officer on duty for questioning and then charged with conspiracy to inflict grievous bodily harm on others.

Jealousy leads to murder/suicide

Friends try to console the victim’s boyfriend outside the hospital.

Police received a report of a shooting at the Traithana Apartments and were asked to investigate.
At the scene, police learned that a teacher from Khorat had once had a relationship with a young woman, Rachani Saenphitak, 22, now living in Pattaya. Rachani left him and began a relationship with Virasak Paibool, an employee at the Lotus Supercentre.
The teacher, Sittichoke Phaerueang, came to Pattaya with a 9 millimetre gun. He found Rachani and tried to revive their relationship, but to no avail. Mad with jealously, he shot Rachani in the chest and then shot himself. Her new boyfriend took her to the hospital but she was DOA.

Another case of teenage violence

The murderers await their fate at Pattaya Police station.

Pattaya Memorial Hospital informed the police that they had 2 cases of victims of violence, one already dead.
When police went to investigate they were informed that the dead teen was Phakdee Pahuvatoe, 18, a cook for a hotel on Soi Diana Inn. He had been beaten with a blunt in-strument.
The injured youth was Narin Kliangsanphao, 22, who had also been struck with a blunt instrument. The doctors had just finished giving the young man 15 sutures.
Police learned that the fight had started in Soi Thepasit, near a group of shophouses where a going away party had just ended at a foreigner’s residence. At the party, Mr. Sant Sasida or “William”, 25, the owner of a water scooter company, and Phakdee had apparently exchanged words over some sort of disagreement.
When the party was over and everyone went their separate ways, Phakdee and Narin passed Sant and a friend on their motorcycle, at which time Phakdee made an obscene gesture. Challenges were thrown back and forth. Sant refused to fight with his fists, so he sneaked back home and got a metal pipe. When he returned and found the two, he beat them with it. When the beating ceased, Sant fled the scene.
Police managed to catch Sant at his house on Soi Wat Boon. Sant was charged with murder.

New-born abandoned

A local couple called police after they had found a new-born baby in the middle of the road in front of their home.
The husband and wife reported to police that before they found the baby, they heard a motorcycle pass by and dogs barking. They went out to investigate found the child, who had been put in a paper bag. The new-born died despite the couple’s attempts to help.
Police surmise that the child was born at a clinic, which was a front for illegal abortions, then abandoned by the mother.
Investigations continue.

General Chet gave a speech, praising the Royal Thai Marines and their officers and said he was very happy to see the anniversary come this year, as it was the 50th year of His Majesty the King’s Accession to the throne.
The admiral gave highest praise to the instructors at the military academy for their dedication and expertise in instruction.
The atmosphere was warm and intimate, showing the camaraderie and esprit de corps of the marines. The party ended on a note of happy nostalgia.

Hi-Lo game interrupted by police

The ongoing “zero tolerance” crackdown on gambling, which has been stepped up of late, netted the Pattaya police department yet another coup last Tuesday when officers managed to capture more crazed gamblers at an unnumbered restaurant in Pattaya.
Acting on a tip from a concerned citizen, police stormed the restaurant and found that a wild orgy of betting was transpiring. Rushing in, they found seven people engulfed in a Hi-Lo frenzy. So engulfed, in fact, that they didn’t notice the arrival of the police until the officers had surrounded the area and cut off all means of escape.
Police arrested all seven and managed to confiscate one Hi-Lo cup and the munificent sum of 20 baht in cash.
All seven unlucky gamblers were taken to the Pattaya police station to face the frightening consequences of their actions. If convicted in a court of law, each will face fines of 200 baht.

IBO Heavyweight Champion Brian Nielsen visits Pattaya

You had better duck when the IBO World Heavyweight Champion, Brian Nielsen, takes this pose.

by Ayrada

Pattaya is somewhat unique in that we get our share of visits from many of the world’s famous people. The most recent celebrity visitor was none other than the reigning IBO World Heavyweight boxing champion, Brian Nielsen from Denmark. Brian won his title on January 1, 1996, and has defended it five times since then, the last time, only a few weeks ago, against Larry Holmes.
Brian Nielsen, 31, nicknamed Super-Brian or Teddy-Bear, came to Pattaya accompanied by his lovely wife Pia, along with his friend and sparring-partner Rene Sorenson (who will compete soon in the next Danish National-Championship. The confident pugilist predicted he’ll be the winner) and his wife. The Danish foursome were staying at the Quality Resort when Pattaya Mail had a chance to interview the world champion.
Arriving at the hotel, it was quite a sight to watch Brian and Rene, two huge men, working out. Not in the ring- on the tennis court, playing doubles with their wives.
When I asked who is the boxer, they made a joke out of it and each of them pointed at the other one and announced: “he’s the boxer”. Well, soon enough, the situation was clear.
We asked Brian about his career and his life.
Q: How many years have you been boxing?
A: Eleven years now.
Q: That’s not very long. You are 31 years of age. It means you started when you were 20 years old. Isn’t that a bit too old to start an international boxing career?
A: Yes, you are right. Usually a boxer starts when he is around 12 to 14 years old. Maybe I’m a natural, since I made it to the top.
Q: How come you decided so late to start boxing?
A: I was a soccer player before. But all my real buddies were boxers. To be able to spend more time with them, I gave up football - I was never that good anyway - and joined the boxing club. My trainer soon found out I was not doing too bad and he forced me into hard training.
Q: What competitions did you win before going international?
A: I won the championship of Denmark six times as a super-heavyweight. I started with this weight already since the beginning. I believe I was born that big.
Q: Wow. How tall and how heavy are you? Let me guess, you must be at least 190 cm.
A: Yes, I am 191 cm tall and my weight is 115 kg.
Q: Your hands look quite small and delicate. I always thought a boxer had to have big fists.
A: I don’t know, I never thought about that. I just know Larry Holmes’s fists are even smaller than mine.
Q: How was it, fighting Larry? Weren’t you afraid you would lose your title?
A: No, not really. As I’ve told you, I have already defended my title five times. The only one I was a bit scared off was Phil Jackson. His record is 32 wins and only two loss. But, I was better.
Q: You seem to be very confident. Is that part of being a super-star?
A: One has to be confident of himself. Otherwise you’ll be on the losing track. And I do not intend to be a super-star. All I like to do is box. The other crap I don’t need.
Q: Does that mean you do not enjoy being famous?
A: No, I didn’t say that. But after the fight with Larry Holmes I was surrounded with a lot of fans and soon it was just too much for me. I like to be myself, me: Brian, and not a snobbish star. My idol is George Forman. He’s is a great human being and one of the greatest boxers in history. He is still very polite and humble. Friendly to everybody - a great guy. He was my idol since I was very young. After I started my boxing career, I was always dreaming of boxing him one day.
Q: Well, I have heard your dream might come true very soon?
A: Ah, yes. I hope so. We are currently negotiating with his managers for a WBO fight. We hope we can somehow find a way to afford it. George is asking for 30 million Danish Crowns.
Q: That would be just great. Now, if he gets so much money, how much would you get?
A: Much less. Take 10 %, that would be about it. But, the money doesn’t matter. It’s the honor.
Q: If George Foreman is your idol - are you not hindered by that? I mean, beating up your idol isn’t what some usually does?
A: True. But standing in the ring, makes everything look different. If you don’t beat him - he’ll beat you. That’s it.
Q: How long will you keep boxing?
A: As long as I am be able to. Now-a-days, it can be a long time, as you can see.
Q: What does your wife and children think about it?
A: They support me all the way. Of course, my wife is afraid sometimes. But I have managed to get a bloody nose only twice in all those years. I guess she knows I’ll keep my brain. My eleven year old son is very proud of me. My little daughter is only 1 1/2 years old, she doesn’t understand it yet. And I believe all my friends in my hometown, Konsor in Sealand, are proud as well.
Q: Now, one more question. Is this your first visit to Thailand?
A: No. I was here five times. Not only for vacation but boxing. I won two gold medals and one silver medal at the King’s Cup in Bangkok.
Q: That’s great! I believe I do not have to ask you if you like it here.
A: Thailand’s a great place. Pattaya is very nice. To tell you the truth, I have been thinking about staying here after I retire. All is so natural. Not expensive. Taxes are killing you back in Europe. Maybe I’ll do it. But there is still plenty of time.
Q: Brian, thank you very much for this interview. I sincerely hope you’ll be fighting George Foreman and we can welcome you next time as the greatest Champion.

Kwai veterans to build museum

The infamous bridge over the River Kwai, part of the Burma railway where thousands of British prisoners died in the second world war, has become such a tourist attraction for the Japanese that British veterans are planning a new memorial to the victims.
They intend to build a museum in Thailand to commemorate 16,000 col-leagues who were worked to death by the Japanese in the building of the railway. They have chosen a site 45 miles from the bridge at a place on the railway known as Hellfire Pass, where 400 men died. British, Australian and Dutch prisoners of war were forced to work day and night until they dropped; 69 were beaten to death by their Japanese guards.
The museum has the support of the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Australian govern-ment has already pledged A$1.6m towards it. The Royal British Legion is supporting a campaign by veterans to raise £1m, and the British government is to be asked to provide a further £500,000, plus £50,000 per year running costs.
The various exhibitions at the present museum give no hint that prisoners were slaughtered during the construction of the railway. Instead, signs praise the achievement of Japanese railway engineers.
Japanese investors are planning to transform the bridge into a theme park. The thousands of Japanese tourists who flock to the site will be given jungle rides along what was once known as the Rail-way of Death.
The track runs 250 miles through the toughest jungle and mountain terrain in Thailand and Burma. It is regarded by the Japanese as a triumph of construction; their engineers predicted the work would take five years, but because the imperial army was desperate for food and ammunition, it was completed in 16 months. This was possible only because the Japanese callously exploited slave labour. As well as allied prisoners of war, more than 80,000 Asian workers died.
Today British war veterans and their families making pilgrimages to the bridge are outraged by its commercial development and the scant regard of Japanese visitors for the past atrocities.
Graham Downing, chair-man of the Royal British Legion, who visited the bridge recently, said last week: “It’s deeply upsetting for the veterans to see, 50 years on, the same Japanese racist superiority they remember from the war years, combined with the younger generation’s blithe ignorance and lack of concern for the cruelty of their fathers and grandfathers.”
He believes the new museum will offer a place of tranquillity to veterans and their relatives, and will help to educate younger generations of Japanese.
