    Aussie man found dead in Pattaya condo double tragedy namedLegacyA bizarre double tragedy has rocked Pattaya after two foreign men were found dead just hours and floors apart in the same condominium. One of the victims, an Australian national, has been named, while the identity of the Swedish man remains undisclosed pending embassy notification. The grim discoveries were made two hours apart on Thursday, July 17, at the Grand Shivalay apartment, located behind the Tukcom shopping centre in South Pattaya. The first body was found at around 2pm in a fifth-floor unit. Police and rescue workers discovered the 38 year old Swedish man lying naked beside an overflowing bathtub. A 1-inch gash was visible on his forehead and right eyebrow, with blood in the bathwater. CCTV footage reportedly captured a short-haired woman leaving his room shortly before the discovery. There were no signs of forced entry or struggle. At 4pm, officers were called back to the same building—this time to the seventh floor. Inside, they found 54 year old Michael Shane Caola, from Perth, Australia, face-down in a pool of blood. A broken glass was lying near his elbow, and several pill bottles were scattered across the room. Pictures courtesy of Perth Now Apartment manager 27 year old Thanchanok Prajit said she was contacted by Caola’s relatives after they failed to reach him for two days. When she unlocked the room, she was met with a strong odour and immediately alerted the police, reported Daily Mail UK. “He was a regular guest and often exercised to stay healthy,” Prajit said. Police Lieutenant Colonel Saijai Khamjulla, who is leading the investigation, confirmed there is currently no evidence connecting the two deaths. “Caola’s case does not involve any woman, unlike the Swedish man’s,” he said. Both bodies have been sent for autopsy to determine the cause of death. The eerie timing and location of the two deaths have sparked speculation, but police say all possibilities remain open as the investigation continues. The double tragedy adds to a string of troubling incidents in Pattaya. Earlier this week, a wheelchair-bound British tourist claimed he was robbed by three sex workers after inviting them to his hotel room. Police are still investigating that case.

    Indian tourists call police to settle with bar girl at Pattaya hotel, claiming ‘She didn’t match the profile’
    Police mediate late-night dispute at a hotel on Soi Pattaya Beach 11 after Indian tourists complain about a bar girl; partial refund issued, no charges filed as both sides agree to walk away. PATTAYA, Thailand – A late-night dispute unfolded when three Indian tourists called police to remove a Thai bar girl from their hotel room, claiming she didn’t meet their expectations — citing specifically that “her chest was too small” and her figure wasn’t what they imagined. What followed was a bizarre standoff involving accusations, negotiation, and a surprising call for help. Around 2:30 AM on July 18, Pattaya Police Station received a request for help from a group of three Indian tourists staying at a hotel on Soi Pattaya Beach 11. They claimed a Thai woman had entered their room and refused to leave. Officers arrived to find a Thai woman, approximately 35–40 years old, visibly startled but unaware of having done anything wrong. She told police the group had agreed on a price of 3,000 baht per person and had already paid her a 1,000 baht deposit before heading to the hotel. However, upon arrival, the tourists began criticizing her appearance, saying her figure and chest size were not what they expected. She said that since the deal was already made, she simply asked for the remaining payment and agreed to leave. Instead, the tourists allegedly tricked her by saying they would go downstairs to exchange money — but returned with police. The three Indian men admitted to hiring the woman from a local bar for companionship, but claimed they changed their minds after she undressed, saying her appearance didn’t match what they had in mind. When she refused to leave without the rest of the agreed-upon payment, they contacted police to intervene. Police initially encouraged both sides to negotiate a resolution, warning that legal action could follow if they failed to agree. In the end, the tourists received a partial refund, and both parties left the scene without pressing charges.

    Middle Eastern teens clash in Pattaya, police broker peace and issue warning
    Authorities quickly identified and summoned those involved in the brawl, who admitted their actions and reconciled peacefully without pressing charges. PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya police have identified and questioned groups of Middle Eastern youths involved in a late-night brawl on July 16 that disturbed local residents in South Pattaya. The incident, captured on video by neighbors, raised concerns about ongoing disturbances caused by some young foreign residents, including noisy motorcycle riding in the area. Following a swift investigation, authorities summoned the involved parties, who admitted to their roles in the altercation. Fortunately, both sides decided not to press charges and reconciled by shaking hands. Police took the opportunity to warn the youths—some under 20 years old—against engaging in further conflicts or disruptive behavior, such as revving motorcycle engines and honking loudly, which disturb the neighborhood and can lead to legal consequences. While police efforts have contained this incident, public frustration remains high. Many locals voiced their concerns online, highlighting what they see as repeated issues with some foreign youths. One resident commented, “They act tough only here in Thailand. Would they dare behave this way anywhere else?” Another added, “In other countries, a fight like this might end with someone dead.” Some even noted that similar group fights happen elsewhere, such as in Oman, and that the aggressive behavior is not unique to Pattaya. Locals also shared observations about the youths, noting their distinctive looks — many sporting similar hairstyles and mustaches, sparking questions if it is a cultural trend or fashion from their home countries. Some suspected these youths to be part of known motorcycle gangs seen frequently around town, with comments such as, “They look like the same guys riding big motorcycles near Soi Yensabai. Last year, a group of Arab youths with similar features were always seen around the Miracle Hotel.” Police warned the youths, some under 20, to avoid future conflicts and disruptive acts like revving motorcycles and loud honking, stressing these behaviors disturb neighbors and may result in legal action. Many residents expressed annoyance about ongoing disruptive behavior beyond fights, focusing on reckless motorcycle riding. Complaints ranged from loud engine revving day and night, ignoring traffic laws, not wearing helmets, running red lights, and generally disturbing the peace. “They make noise all day and night and don’t follow any rules,” one local wrote. Another urged authorities to enforce helmet laws strictly, saying, “They should be fined like anyone else.” Criticism also targeted law enforcement, with comments like, “It’s like the police are just chasing mice — this keeps happening over and over.” Several locals felt police were too lenient, saying, “The cops are soft on them; these guys will just do it again tomorrow.” Frustration grew around perceived double standards: “If a Thai person hit a foreigner, they’d be charged immediately,” remarked one resident, while others called for tougher enforcement and deportations to prevent the disturbances from recurring. Further comments reflected anger and concern over the continued presence and behavior of these groups. Some worried that if authorities don’t take stronger action, locals might be forced to tolerate these disruptions indefinitely: “If the police keep letting them get away with it, soon Pattaya residents will just have to put up with it.” Others questioned the effectiveness of law enforcement: “The traffic police play cat and mouse, but these guys cause trouble every year, and they know the police can’t really stop them.” Many believed these youths had significant financial resources, which made it harder for authorities to control their behavior. Neighbors capture video of foreign youths’ noisy brawl, sparking concerns over ongoing disturbances and reckless motorcycle riding in Pattaya. Some comments expressed frustration over repeated cycles of arrest and release, hoping for stricter policies: “They catch them and let them go — it’s like entertainment.” Others feared this leniency sets a bad example, allowing such behavior to become normal: “If the authorities keep bowing to them, soon they won’t respect the law at all.” Noise complaints were frequent, with locals lamenting sleepless nights due to loud motorcycle racing and stunts, sometimes involving riders without licenses or proper skills. There was also a sentiment that this problem is growing, with one comment bluntly stating, “There are too many of them now,” and another lamenting the double standards perceived between locals and foreigners. Some pleaded for their removal: “Get rid of them — what good do they bring? Just chaos and disrespect for the country.” Despite the strong public reaction, police have assured the community that they are actively monitoring the situation and committed to enforcing laws strictly to maintain peace and safety for all residents in Pattaya. Pattaya police have identified and questioned Middle Eastern youth groups involved in a late-night brawl on July 16 that alarmed local residents.

    Pattaya’s tourism rebound spurs labor shortages, attracting surge of illegal migrant workers
    Authorities arrest 38 illegal migrants near Thai-Cambodian border, many seeking work in Bangkok and Pattaya’s recovering tourism industry. PATTAYA, Thailand – Pattaya’s tourism and hospitality sector is grappling with a severe labor shortage amid a booming recovery, with high earnings drawing increased numbers of illegal migrant workers seeking opportunities in the city’s bustling resorts, hotels, and entertainment venues. Industry insiders report that while businesses are experiencing strong returns following the reopening of international tourism, many are struggling to fill vacancies due to stricter immigration controls and the COVID-era exodus of foreign workers. This labor gap has led some employers and migrants alike to resort to informal or illegal channels to meet demand. In a stark illustration of the ongoing issue, on the night of July 17, authorities executed a major crackdown on illegal immigration near the Thai-Cambodian border in Sa Kaeo province, seizing 38 individuals attempting to enter Thailand clandestinely. The operation was led by Colonel Chainarong Kasee, commander of the Aranyaprathet task force. The arrested group included 25 people caught in a sugarcane field near Kud Hin village, Aranyaprathet district, comprising 20 Cambodian nationals—including one child—and 5 Thai nationals. Investigations revealed that most Cambodian migrants were former workers in Thailand who had returned home but faced unemployment and lack of income. They paid between 2,500 and 4,000 baht each to re-enter Thailand to seek work in Bangkok, eastern provinces, and tourist hotspots like Pattaya. Former workers and online gambling admins caught sneaking back into Thailand amid tight border controls and labor demand. Meanwhile, the Thai nationals apprehended were mostly workers returning from Cambodia, forced to pay higher fees—between 3,500 and 6,000 baht—to the smuggling networks. Further arrests included 10 Thai individuals traveling on foot through sugarcane fields to re-enter Thailand after working as administrators for online gambling websites in Poipet, Cambodia. Due to lack of proper travel documents, they resorted to crossing via natural border routes. In another instance, three Thai nationals attempting to cross illegally into Cambodia for construction jobs were also detained near Nongprue village, Sakaeo. Authorities have emphasized that all detainees will undergo thorough interrogation to uncover larger smuggling networks and will face legal prosecution accordingly. The recent bust highlights the ongoing challenges Pattaya and the surrounding eastern provinces face in securing a reliable and legal workforce to support the tourism rebound, as well as the security risks posed by illegal crossings. Local officials and business leaders continue to call for comprehensive solutions, including streamlined legal work permits and international cooperation, to ensure Pattaya’s hospitality industry can sustainably recover without resorting to illegal labor sources.

    Thailand launches fast-track entry and charter flight subsidies to win back Chinese tourists
    New “Happy Chinese Summer Channel” at airports and “Thailand Summer Blast” charter flights aim to ease travel and revive Chinese tourism during school holidays. PATTAYA, Thailand – Facing a sharp decline of more than 40% in Chinese tourist arrivals, the Thai government is rolling out urgent measures to attract travelers from its once-largest tourism market. These include newly established fast-track immigration lanes at key airports and subsidies for charter flights from China under a major campaign to revive flagging arrivals. According to Nikkei Asia, authorities are responding to growing concerns within the tourism sector after Chinese tourist numbers continued to plunge. Thailand’s Immigration Bureau on July 12 launched the “Happy Chinese Summer Channel”, a dedicated fast-track immigration lane for Chinese families with school-aged children. The initiative is currently available at four international airports — both of Bangkok’s main hubs, as well as Phuket and Chiang Mai — and will operate throughout the Chinese summer holiday period, ending in September. Officials say the lanes are designed to ease congestion during peak hours and cut immigration wait times from up to 40 minutes to as little as 15 minutes, improving the overall travel experience for Chinese families. Tourism has historically been a key engine of Thailand’s economy, accounting for around 11% of GDP before the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, Thailand welcomed 39.9 million foreign visitors, generating 1.9 trillion baht (approximately USD 55 billion) in tourism revenue. Chinese travelers contributed nearly 500 billion baht, representing the largest share of any nationality. However, data from Thailand’s Ministry of Tourism and Sports reveals that between January and June 2025, Chinese tourist arrivals fell 34% year-on-year to just 2.26 million. The broader picture shows overall foreign arrivals at 16.6 million during the same period, down 4.7% compared to the previous year. The drop has allowed Malaysia to overtake China as Thailand’s largest source of inbound tourists, with 2.29 million Malaysian visitors recorded in the first half of the year. In response, the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has revised its full-year forecast, lowering expected international arrivals from 39 million to 35 million. Projected tourism revenue for 2025 has also been reduced to 1.77 trillion baht, down from earlier targets. Industry analysts believe safety concerns may be a key driver behind the slump. A high-profile kidnapping case in January, involving a Chinese actor abducted by a scam network and taken across the border into Myanmar, made headlines across China. Although the actor was rescued, the incident triggered alarm among potential tourists. Since February, Chinese arrivals have fallen by over 40% year-on-year for four consecutive months, with no recovery yet in sight. Sisdivachr Cheewarattanaporn, president of the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA), welcomed the government’s new initiatives. “The special immigration lanes are a good move to facilitate Chinese tourists,” he told Nikkei Asia. “Whatever Thailand can do to help bring them back should be seen as a positive.” In addition to streamlining airport procedures, Thailand has also approved a 750 million baht budget for a global campaign called “Thailand Summer Blast.” Of this, 350 million baht will directly support charter flight subsidies from China and other target markets. As part of broader recovery efforts, ATTA will also host roadshows in Chongqing, Lanzhou, and Hangzhou later this month and into early August. These business-to-business events aim to reconnect Thai travel operators with Chinese partners, showcase tourism products, and rebuild trust with a focus on safety and service readiness. The Thai government hopes that these combined efforts will help revive Chinese arrivals — long considered essential to the health of the country’s tourism economy — and restore confidence among both travelers and industry stakeholders.

    Pattaya and Bangkok remain top foreign buyer hotspots amid slower condo transfers elsewhere
    Despite a slight nationwide slowdown, foreign ownership’s share of Thailand’s condo market keeps growing, with Bangkok and Pattaya dominating over 80% of market value in Q1 2025. PATTAYA, Thailand – The latest data from the Real Estate Information Center (REIC) under the Government Housing Bank (GHB) reveals a slight decline in foreign condominium ownership transfers nationwide during the first quarter of 2025. However, Bangkok and Chonburi provinces—home to Pattaya—continue to dominate as the main areas favored by foreign buyers, together accounting for over 80% of the total market value. In Q1 2025, foreigners transferred ownership of 3,919 condo units valued at 16.39 billion baht, covering a total area of 164,376 square meters. Compared to the same period last year, the number of units sold fell slightly by 0.5%, value dropped 9%, and total area decreased by 5%. Despite this mild slowdown, the share of foreign ownership in the overall condo market actually increased to 18% of units and 29.3% of value, up from 16.7% and 28.6% respectively last year. Chinese buyers remain the largest group, making up 37.8% of unit transfers and 37.3% of transaction value. However, transfers by Chinese nationals have decreased, partly due to concerns over Thailand’s safety image affecting Chinese tourism and investment. Other significant nationalities include Myanmar (11.2% of units, 9.7% value) and Russia (7.3% units, 6% value). British buyers, while smaller in number, recorded the highest average transaction value at 5.7 million baht per unit and the largest average unit size of 60.1 square meters, reflecting a high purchasing power segment. Bangkok holds the largest share of foreign condo purchases by number of units at 43.3%, followed by Chonburi province at 33.4%, together representing 76.7% of foreign purchases. In terms of transaction value, these two provinces combined account for 81.5% of the national total, with Bangkok at 58.3% and Chonburi at 23.2%. Overall, foreign ownership continues to play a crucial role in Thailand’s condominium market, particularly in Bangkok and the popular coastal area of Pattaya, despite recent challenges affecting certain buyer groups. Chinese remain the largest group of foreign condo buyers despite a dip over safety and tourism concerns, while Brits top the charts for highest average purchase value, favoring larger, premium units.

    Chinese fugitive and Korean drug suspect busted in Pattaya
    Chinese fugitive and Korean drug suspect busted in PattayaLegacyIn Pattaya, Chon Buri province, immigration police have apprehended two foreign men in distinct criminal cases. The Immigration Bureau revealed these arrests, including a Chinese fugitive and a South Korean drug suspect, during a recent press briefing. The first case involved Chon Buri Immigration Office officers raiding a residence in Huai Yai subdistrict, Bang Lamung district, where they detained 39 year old Chinese national, Sun Jiangdong. Sun faced an international arrest warrant for drug trafficking and illegal electronic cigarette distribution. Upon the officers’ arrival, he attempted to escape by climbing onto the roof but was promptly captured. It was also discovered that Sun had overstayed his visa by over 15 days. He faces charges under Thai immigration law and awaits deportation. In a separate incident, a collaborative team consisting of immigration officers and the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) officials arrested 60 year old South Korean, Sung Kim, at an apartment on Soi Sukhumvit Pattaya 71 in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung. Kim was subject to an Interpol red notice for allegedly organising an attempt to smuggle crystal methamphetamine into South Korea. Investigators reported that he had instructed accomplices to conceal 180 grammes of the drug in a food container, which was then placed on a flight from Thailand to Incheon International Airport. This smuggling attempt was intercepted before reaching its destination. Officials noted that the drugs could have potentially been worth up to 18 million won (around 471,600 baht) on the street had they reached South Korea. It was also discovered that Kim had overstayed his visa by more than two years, reported Bangkok Post. Both men are facing charges under Thai law and are in the process of being deported to their respective countries. Their arrests are part of a broader crackdown on foreign criminals in Pattaya, as directed by Immigration Bureau commissioner Police Lieutenant General Panumas Boonyaluk and other senior officials.
