Residents report growing frustration with foreigners parking illegally around Jomtien. PATTAYA, Thailand – As Pattaya continues to welcome long-term visitors and tourists from around the world, some locals are expressing growing concern over what they describe as increasingly aggressive behavior from certain foreigners—particularly when it comes to traffic laws and public conduct. A concerned resident recently shared her experience involving illegal parking near Jomtien Soi 8 and Soi 9. According to her, she attempted to politely inform a foreign man that he was parked in a red-and-white no-parking zone, a violation of local traffic laws. Instead of complying or thanking her, the man reportedly became confrontational and snapped, “You’re not police!” before continuing to argue with her. “I was just trying to help,” the woman said. “But his tone was aggressive, like I had no right to speak up. It’s getting harder to feel safe. Some foreigners are no longer just rude—they’re openly hostile toward Thai people.” Local woman says she was verbally attacked for warning a foreign man about traffic violations. Her story has resonated with others online, especially in light of recent incidents involving erratic or violent behavior by foreign nationals in Pattaya, such as a recent case where a man was detained after brandishing scissors on Jomtien Beach. Local residents are now calling on city authorities to increase public awareness, enforce parking rules more strictly, and protect community members who speak up for the law. Many feel that respectful coexistence depends on mutual understanding, and that visitors should make an effort to follow the rules and treat locals with courtesy. While most foreigners in Pattaya contribute positively to the local economy and community, officials and citizens alike are becoming more aware of a small but growing pattern of tension—especially in popular tourist zones like Jomtien Beach. Calls increase for stricter enforcement and better understanding between communities.

Jomtien municipal officers and beach lifeguards restrain a foreigner who threatened tourists with scissors. PATTAYA, Thailand – Officials and lifeguards successfully detained a foreign man exhibiting violent and erratic behavior. The man was reportedly wielding scissors and attempting to assault tourists along Jomtien Beach. The incident took place in broad daylight and caused panic among beachgoers. The foreign national was swiftly restrained and handed over to officers at the Dongtan Curve substation of Pattaya City Police for legal processing. Eyewitness accounts and online comments revealed that the same man had been behaving strangely earlier in the day. One local reported, “This morning he was walking around yelling and pointing fingers at no one in particular, then sat in a restaurant talking to himself. It was very scary.” Another concerned citizen shared, “There’s a real issue with foreigners parking illegally around Jomtien Soi 8 and 9. When I tried to warn one that he couldn’t park in a red-and-white zone, he became aggressive and said, ‘You’re not police.’ It’s getting harder to feel safe as some foreigners are becoming increasingly hostile toward Thai people.” Others recounted encounters with the man the night before. “Around 2 AM I saw him at the 7-Eleven near Jomtien Second Road before the Bunkanjana intersection. He looked drunk and was talking to himself while staring people down—really scary.” Many expressed unease, saying they felt they were “vacationing in fear” due to unpredictable and aggressive behavior by certain tourists. The suspect was transferred to Pattaya Police’s Dongtan substation for further legal action. Locals say the man had shown signs of erratic behavior earlier in the day, frightening beachgoers and diners.   Concerns grow over aggressive behavior by some foreigners, with calls for stricter enforcement around Jomtien.

PATTAYA, Thailand – Police in Pattaya have arrested a 31-year-old Uzbek national for smuggling counterfeit U.S. dollars into the country and attempting to exchange them for Thai baht to fund his tourism activities in Pattaya. The suspect, identified as Mr. Iskandarkhuja Farkhodkhuj Akbarkhujaev, was caught at a hotel in central Pattaya, where police found $3,000 in fake U.S. dollar bills. According to Colonel Anek Sathongyoo, Police Chief of Pattaya City Police Station, authorities received a report from a local exchange shop that a foreign tourist had attempted to exchange counterfeit dollars. The suspect had presented U.S. $100 bills, totaling about 80,000 Thai baht. After the exchange shop confirmed that the bills were counterfeit, police began their investigation. Surveillance footage and identification documents were used to track down the suspect. Police officers located Mr. Akbarkhujaev at a hotel in the Nongprue area, where he was staying in room 2202. Upon searching his room, police discovered a money exchange slip and the counterfeit dollar bills hidden in his bag.

Despite promotional efforts, Pattaya continues to grapple with crime, violence, and disorder, leading to growing dissatisfaction among residents and tourists alike. PATTAYA, Thailand – For many long-term visitors, Pattaya has evolved over the years, but not necessarily in the way they had hoped. While the city continues to promote itself as a vibrant tourist destination with a “family-friendly” image, the reality on the streets often tells a very different story. Seasonal residents of Pattaya are speaking out about the ongoing safety and image issues that plague the city. One frustrated visitor, who has spent years in the area, expressed deep dissatisfaction with the disconnect between the official portrayal of Pattaya and the everyday experiences they witness. According to this visitor, Pattaya’s image is increasingly defined by crime, disorder, and a lack of meaningful change. “The city’s attempts to promote a family-friendly image are at odds with what’s really happening. Every day, you see robberies, gambling, accidents, assaults, and a host of other unsavory activities. This is not the ideal destination for tourists, and it’s frustrating to see the city keep pushing a narrative that doesn’t match the reality.” Pattaya’s reputation, once built around its beaches and nightlife, has become synonymous with much darker elements, according to this long-term visitor. From petty thefts by katoeys (transgender women), to violent altercations involving both locals and tourists, to public intoxication and illegal medical practices, the issues seem to be widespread and ongoing. These problems are further compounded by reports of organized crime, drug use, and dangerous driving, leaving many questioning if Pattaya’s city officials are truly addressing these concerns. Long-time visitors voice frustration over Pattaya’s worsening image and safety issues, questioning the city’s “family-friendly” narrative. “Pattaya has always had a reputation for being a bit wild, but it seems like it’s gotten worse over the years,” said the visitor. “I’ve seen it all — from tourists getting scammed to people being physically attacked. It’s not the kind of place you want to bring your family, yet that’s the image the city keeps selling to the public.” Despite Pattaya’s efforts to highlight more family-friendly activities, such as promoting its beaches, theme parks, and cultural attractions, the visitor argues that these marketing campaigns are simply not enough to change the current environment. For many who have lived in the city for years, the frustration is clear. They believe that Pattaya needs to address the root causes of its problems, rather than merely cover them up. More visible and effective law enforcement, better regulation of nightlife activities, and stricter oversight of businesses are just some of the solutions proposed by frustrated visitors and residents. In addition to these safety concerns, the visitor also stressed that local government initiatives should not just focus on tourism promotion but should also work towards creating a more peaceful and safe environment for both tourists and long-term residents alike. City Hall, according to the visitor, needs to be more proactive in addressing these issues, as simply brushing them under the rug will not change Pattaya’s reputation. It’s time for the city to stop putting lipstick on a pig and face the real challenges head-on, working to improve both the safety and quality of life for everyone in the community. Advocates call for City Hall to address the root causes of Pattaya’s problems, urging better law enforcement and regulation to ensure a safer environment for all.

Residents of the Khao Noi Development Community in Nongprue participated in a workshop to enhance the value of dried bael fruit products. PATTAYA, Thailand – The Social Welfare Division of Nongprue Municipality, East Pattaya, organized a training workshop for local residents in the Khao Noi Development Community. The workshop focused on creating added value for dried bael fruit products as part of the “Community Product Promotion and Development” project. The initiative aims to enhance the sustainability of local products and provide economic opportunities for the community. Niramon Thamthatto, Director of the Social Welfare Division, visited the Khao Noi Pattaya community to oversee the activity. The training session drew many participants, eager to learn how to improve and market the community’s bael fruit products. Bael fruit, which grows abundantly in the area, has long been used by local herbalists for its medicinal properties. The fruit, along with its leaves, flowers, roots, and bark, was traditionally used in various forms of medicine for treating a range of health issues, such as digestive problems, fever, and heart ailments. Kantanut Tanomrod, the president of the Khao Noi Development Community, shared that the community had been using bael fruit as a way to generate income. However, due to the complicated processing method, sales had been limited. The community would dry the bael fruit and package it for sale, but the product had not gained widespread popularity. To address these challenges, the Social Welfare Division collaborated with Dr. Thanyaphat Muangpan, Associate Dean of Research and Development at Burapha University’s Faculty of Logistics, to provide training in product design, packaging, and branding. The goal was to make the dried bael fruit more appealing and marketable as a souvenir or health product. The workshop received strong interest from both community members and committee members, as it offered a valuable opportunity to develop local products in a sustainable and innovative way. The initiative is seen as a way to ensure the continued success of the community’s efforts in creating valuable and marketable products for the future. The training session focuses on enhancing product design, branding, and packaging. Experts share insights on making local products more appealing and marketable. The workshop inspires community members to create sustainable, marketable products.
