The incident took place at 2.18am on July 13, . The CCTV footage reveals the group arriving on two motorbikes after fleeing a police checkpoint and stopping at the motorcycle parking area of the gas station. Upon finding a key left in the seat of a parked motorcycle, which belonged to a gas station employee, one of the teenagers opened the seat and took 600 baht (US$18) in cash along with a set of tools stored underneath. The group subsequently departed the scene on their motorbikes. The motorcycle owner, 18 year old Thanaphong Jaiboon from Buriram province and a gas station worker, expressed his concern over the theft.

    Pattaya investigates oil pollution in local water source
    Pattaya investigates oil pollution in local water sourceLegacyIn response to community complaints regarding a significant water source, an investigation has been initiated by local officials. Pattaya officials have launched an investigation into oil and grease pollution discovered in drainage near a local restaurant Concerns were raised about a drainage pipe situated near a popular cycling spot opposite a well-frequented restaurant, close to the Hot Two Point intersection on Phonpraphanimit Road 34. Upon examination, a noticeable amount of oil and grease was found floating on the water surface at the pipe’s outlet, emitting an unpleasant smell akin to wastewater. This has led to suspicions of unlawful discharge of untreated wastewater into the public reservoir. The area affected is located between Nongprue Municipality and Pong Subdistrict Municipality. Yesterday, July 16, Winai Inpitak, Mayor of Nong Prue Municipality, and Anucha Phiarjai, Mayor of Pong Subdistrict Municipality, inspected the site together. Initial observations confirmed that the location is under the jurisdiction of Nong Prue Municipality. Accompanied by Nujarin Palachot, Director of the Public Health and Environment Division, and Beikchai Nilpanan, Director of the Sanitary Engineering Division, along with other officials, the team conducted a thorough on-site assessment. Nujarin Palachot highlighted that the investigation would focus on nearby businesses, as only a limited number operate in the vicinity. She remarked on the visible presence of oil and grease on the water, alongside an unusual smell not typical of normal rainwater runoff. Officials suspect that certain businesses may be illegally releasing wastewater through the drainage system. Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News Efforts are being made to trace the drainage network to ascertain whether businesses have the necessary permits for system connections or have installed the required wastewater treatment facilities. Should any violations be discovered, immediate actions will be taken, including issuing orders to stop discharges. Civil engineers will further inspect the drainage infrastructure to identify unauthorised connections. Nongprue Municipality has instructed all nearby businesses to halt wastewater discharge into the drainage system until a comprehensive quality assessment of treated wastewater is conducted. Should the water quality not meet the required standards, businesses will be mandated to implement corrective measures promptly. The municipality is committed to speeding up the investigation to ensure compliance, aiming to safeguard the reservoir’s environmental integrity and public health. Further updates will be provided as the investigation continues, reported The Pattaya News. The story Pattaya investigates oil pollution in local water source as seen on Thaiger News.

    Pattaya cops rescue Russians with highway bike push
    Pattaya cops rescue Russians with highway bike pushLegacyTwo stranded Russian tourists were left stunned—and grateful—after a team of Pattaya police officers came to their rescue in one of the city’s more unusual displays of public service: pushing a broken-down motorbike through traffic with nothing but a boot and big hearts. The drama unfolded around 9.40am yesterday, July 16, when the couple’s motorbike battery unexpectedly died right in the middle of Sukhumvit Road. With vehicles speeding by and the scorching Thai sun beating down, the pair—unable to speak Thai—had no way of calling for help. Just when the situation seemed hopeless, a patrol team from Na Jomtien Police Station happened to drive by. Police Lieutenant Thanyawisit Saengpho, Deputy Inspector of Patrol, and Sergeant Major Yuranan Prasertsang spotted the distressed couple and didn’t hesitate to intervene. Acting swiftly, one officer escorted the tourists to safety in the station’s pickup truck, offering them a cool seat and some much-needed relief from the roadside chaos. But it was what happened next that turned heads and warmed hearts. With no tow truck available and the motorbike still stuck in the middle of the road, one officer climbed onto the immobile scooter while another—riding a patrol bike—placed his foot on the back and began to push it forward, metre by metre, along the hectic Sukhumvit strip. The bizarre but touching sight of a foot-powered police convoy quickly drew attention from passersby, many of whom filmed and shared the moment online. Drivers honked in encouragement, while pedestrians stopped to applaud the officers’ creativity and compassion, reported Pattaya Mail. “Keeping people safe is more than our duty—it’s our mission from the heart,” one of the officers said. “And the smiles we receive in return? That’s the best reward.” The feel-good incident has since gone viral, with netizens praising the officers’ initiative and kindness. While Pattaya often grabs headlines for its nightlife and chaos, this unexpected roadside rescue offered a welcome reminder of the city’s softer side.

    South Korean influencer goes viral with ‘kappa haircut’ in PattayaLegacyA South Korean social media influencer went viral on Thai social media for his unique haircut and hilarious video content, with Pattaya serving as the backdrop.

    Russian teen busted for Pattaya pier graffiti
    Russian teen busted for Pattaya pier graffitiLegacyA 16 year old Russian boy has been caught red-handed after launching a midnight graffiti attack on Pattaya’s iconic Bali Hai Pier Overpass. In the early hours of today, July 17, Pattaya City’s Special Affairs Unit swooped in on the teen, identified only as Dobrynia, as he vandalised the structure with spray paint. The sharp-eyed officer spotted the youth in action, halting the damage before it could escalate further. Officers seized six cans of spray paint and a Yamaha Aerox motorbike allegedly used to get to the scene. The incident has sparked fury among local officials, who are taking a no-nonsense stance despite the teenager’s age. “This is not artistic expression, it’s destruction of public property! Those considering similar acts should think twice, as we will take decisive legal action,” Pattaya City warned in a statement. Officials told Pattaya News that Dobrynia would face full legal consequences under the Cleanliness and Orderliness Act, which carries a fine of up to 10,000 baht. In an effort to reinforce civic responsibility, the city is also ordering the teenager and his guardians to clean the spray-painted area themselves. There will be no soft landing for the young vandal, officials confirmed. The crackdown is part of Pattaya’s broader campaign to clean up its image—literally and figuratively—as Thailand’s premier tourist destination. “We won’t tolerate actions that damage public spaces. These locations are not just landmarks—they’re symbols of our city,” a spokesperson said. Police have yet to confirm whether Dobrynia acted alone or if other individuals were involved. The graffiti has since been partially removed, though full restoration is underway, reported The Pattaya News. Pattaya’s tough stance on urban defacement serves as a clear warning: if you spray, you pay. In similar news, the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) has launched legal action against a Japanese tourist accused of vandalising a train near Kanchanaphisek Road in Bangkok. The incident took place on Sunday, July 13, when the tourist allegedly spray-painted the locomotive and carriages of express train number 171, which operates between Bangkok and Sungai Kolok.
