    Teenagers steal 600 baht from gas station in Chon Buri
    Teenagers steal 600 baht from gas station in Chon BuriLegacyFive teenagers riding motorbikes, locally referred to as dek waen, were captured on CCTV committing theft at a gas station along Highway 331 towards Chachoengsao, in Moo 4, in Chon Buri, Thailand. 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. Having been employed at the station for just over two months, Thanaphong mentioned that he kept the cash under the seat to pay his rent, reported The Pattaya News. He urged the perpetrators to return the stolen items, adding that if they do not comply, he intends to file a report with the Phanat Nikhom Police Station, leveraging the CCTV footage as evidence for legal proceedings.

These valuables had been hidden in a tin inside a plastic container, wrapped with a green necktie, and placed on Chalo’s bed beneath their house. They suspect the thief to be Chalo’s 16 year old grandson, Beer, who lives in Non Tum village, Na Kha subdistrict.

    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 Pattaya
    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. The owner of Sixteen Barbershop Pattaya shared pictures and a video of the quirky South Korean customer on his Facebook page, Barber King, on July 11. The footage showed the man receiving an unusual haircut modelled after Kappa, a creature from Japanese folklore. The barbershop owner captioned the post: “South Korean tourist with the legendary Kappa haircut. Our brains almost burst seeing the look. He entertained all of us at Sixteen Barbershop. Welcome—we’re ready to offer you any hairstyle you request.” The post was reshared by various Facebook pages and news outlets, quickly gaining the attention of Thai netizens. The barber who provided the service, 32 year old Ice, later gave an interview to DailyNews. Ice explained that he and his colleagues noticed the South Korean man setting up a camera and dancing playfully outside their shop in the evening. Shortly after, the man entered the barbershop and showed Ice a photo of the hairstyle he wanted. Photo via Facebook/ Barber King Ice suspected the man was an influencer, as he was livestreaming and announcing to his followers that he was about to get a crazy haircut. He spent about an hour giving the Kappa-style haircut to the South Korean man, who cracked jokes, engaged with the barbers and clients, and generally brought an upbeat atmosphere to the shop. Photo via Channel 7 According to Ice, the influencer tipped him 300 baht and performed a funny, eccentric dance before leaving. He returned the following day requesting rainbow-coloured hair drying, but the service was unavailable. Ice directed him to a nearby salon that might offer it. Photo via Facebook/ ข่าวชลบุรีวันนี้ In addition to his unusual haircut, the South Korean man was spotted dancing in various locations around Pattaya. His bizarre but amusing moves drew attention from both locals and tourists. Neither Ice nor the media revealed the influencer’s social media handles. It is believed he may be sharing his content through South Korea–based platforms. The story South Korean influencer goes viral with ‘kappa haircut’ in Pattaya as seen on Thaiger News.

    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.

    Tit for tat: 3 Indian men call cops on Pattaya bar girl over small boobs
    Tit for tat: 3 Indian men call cops on Pattaya bar girl over small boobsLegacyThree Indian men in Pattaya sparked a police call-out after accusing a Thai bar girl of ripping them off, claiming she looked nothing like she did under the bar lights and even complained about her “small boobs.” Officers from Mueang Pattaya Police Station rushed to a hotel on Soi Pattaya 11, Bang Lamung district, after the men rang for help, demanding the woman be arrested. Inside the room, police found a Thai woman believed to be between 35 and 40 years old, calmly sitting while the tourists aired their bizarre list of grievances. The trio claimed they had agreed a price for her company at the bar, but once back at the hotel, they felt short-changed, accusing her of misleading them about her looks and chest size. The woman appeared confused and shocked upon seeing the police, as she claimed to be unaware of having done anything wrong. She explained that the three men agreed to a sexual service for 3,000 baht and brought her to the hotel room, paying a 1,000 baht bar fine deposit beforehand. She further stated that the men were dissatisfied with the size of her breasts and said her figure was not as attractive as they expected. They cancelled the service and, in response, she requested the remaining 2,000 baht. The men reportedly agreed to pay the full amount and asked her to wait in the room while they went to exchange currency. However, they returned with police officers instead. Photo via Facebook/ สยามชล นิวส์ The Indian men admitted to the officers that they changed their minds after the woman undressed. They said they asked her to leave, but she allegedly refused, prompting them to call the police. According to DailyNews, police refrained from intervening and instead encouraged both parties to reach an agreement. Eventually, the woman returned the 1,000 baht deposit to the men. A similar incident occurred in the southern province of Songkhla in February, though it ended less amicably. In that case, a Thai transwoman and her friend assaulted an Indian man at a hotel after he refused her sexual services and asked her to leave. Photo via Facebook/ สยามชล นิวส์ The transwoman demanded 500 baht in compensation for her time, which the man declined to pay. This led to a physical altercation during which the suspects allegedly stole the man’s gold necklace, valued at approximately 120,000 baht, before fleeing the scene. Police later arrested both suspects and recovered the stolen necklace. The transwoman claimed that she had not intended to steal the necklace and had planned to return it if the man had paid the requested compensation, which he did not.

    Failed escape: Korean, Chinese fugitives busted in Pattaya swoop
    Failed escape: Korean, Chinese fugitives busted in Pattaya swoopLegacyThailand immigration police swooped on two foreign fugitives in a transnational crime crackdown in Pattaya, including a Chinese crook caught trying to escape over the roof and a Korean drug boss with a taste for crystal meth. Commissioner Panumas Boonyalak and his team swooped on suspects in separate raids across Pattaya this week as part of a major international sting. The first collar came in Huai Yai, Bang Lamung, where 39 year old Chinese national Sun tried to pull a Spider-Man, scrambling onto the roof of his rented gaff to dodge arrest. But his rooftop stunt was short-lived. Officers dragged him down and discovered he was wanted for drug-related offences and selling illegal e-cigarettes. He’d also overstayed his visa by more than 15 days. “Deportation proceedings are now under way,” said a senior official. Meanwhile, on Sukhumvit Pattaya Soi 71, a second target was found hiding in a dingy room and he was a much bigger fish. Picture courtesy of Pattaya News South Korean national Sung was slapped with an Interpol red notice after allegedly masterminding a crystal meth smuggling operation into Korea. Investigators say the 60 year old instructed his crew to hide 180 grammes of meth in food containers for air shipment to Incheon Airport. If it had reached its destination, the haul could have raked in over 18 million won (around 470,000 baht). Instead, Sung had been living under the radar in Thailand, illegally, for more than two years. Both men now face Thai legal proceedings, with international extraditions and wider investigations into their crime networks also in the works, Pattaya News reported. The arrests come hot on the heels of another grim case, after two Chinese nationals were cuffed over the suspected murder of a fellow countryman in Chiang Mai. The body of the victim, named only as Yang, was found days after his sister reported him kidnapped. She told officers at Chiang Saen Police Station on July 8 that her younger brother had been abducted by a gang demanding a 3 million baht ransom. But after losing contact with both the crooks and her brother, she feared the worst. Police tracked Yang’s final movements, including a meal with three Chinese men, Jang, Kang and Wang, at a restaurant in Chiang Mai’s trendy Nimman district. The group later moved to Jang’s house in Hang Dong and Yang never left. Two suspects are still on the run. A manhunt is under way.
