Pattaya motorbike gang traps delivery driver in midnight road rage (video)LegacyA 26 year old delivery rider was left shaken after he claimed he was surrounded, threatened, and assaulted by a group of furious motorcycle taxi drivers in the early hours of Tuesday. The drama began around 11pm on Tuesday, July 29, when Narongchay Boonsom was pulling out from a parking spot on Second Road, near the Marine Plaza Hotel in South Pattaya. He told police he used his right-turn signal when a motorcycle taxi, carrying a passenger and wearing the iconic orange vest, almost slammed into his car. “I signalled, brother,” Narongchay reportedly said after rolling down his window. The motorbike rider wasn’t having it. He allegedly responded with a chilling warning: “You’ll see me later.” At that point, both parties went their separate ways. But just under two hours later, around 12.50am yesterday, things escalated dramatically. While dropping off a passenger in Soi Marine, Narongchay claims he was suddenly ambushed by five to 10 motorcycle taxi drivers who boxed in his vehicle. “One of them shouted at me to get out,” he said, adding that he was too scared to move. That’s when the riders allegedly began striking his car. Fearing for his life, Narongchay hit the accelerator in a panic and managed to flee the scene—though not without incident. In his rush, he reportedly collided with one of the parked motorcycles. The entire episode was caught on video and quickly made the rounds on Thai social media, fuelling online outrage. Both parties later showed up at the Pattaya City Police Station to file reports. The motorbike gang claimed Narongchay had sideswiped one of their bikes before fleeing the first encounter, prompting them to pursue him, The Pattaya News reported. Second Lieutenant Phupha Hongyakul, the investigating officer, recorded statements from both sides and requested further evidence, including the now-viral video clip. “The case will proceed with full legal scrutiny,” he said, assuring the public that police will determine who was truly at fault.

Fatal crash sparks fury over ‘death trap’ roadworks in PattayaLegacyA fatal motorbike crash in Pattaya has reignited outrage over hazardous road conditions after a Laotian man was killed yesterday in what residents describe as a “death trap” stretch of road. The accident happened around 8pm yesterday, July 30, on a road running parallel to the railway in Soi Nong Hin. Emergency responders from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Unit arrived to find two motorcycles involved in a serious collision. One was a blue Honda Wave, ridden by a 16 year old boy, who suffered minor abrasions. The other was a black Honda PCX, found overturned in the middle of the road. Lying nearby was 26 year old Vongvilay Chanthavong, who had sustained severe facial injuries and was unresponsive. Rescue workers performed CPR at the scene, but tragically, Vongvilay was pronounced dead shortly after. The arrival of his wife and coworkers was met with anguished cries, highlighting the devastating emotional toll. According to the teen rider, identified only as Siwakorn, he was turning right from Sukhumvit Road onto the railway-side road when the PCX, allegedly speeding, collided with him. “He was coming fast. I turned, and then he hit me,” Siwakorn said, adding that he immediately called emergency services and cooperated with the police. Residents say the road has been a danger zone for months due to ongoing pipe-laying and excavation works. “There are barriers, but no proper warning signs and no lights,” one local said. “It’s an accident waiting to happen—and now someone’s dead.” They called on local authorities to urgently inspect the site and improve safety measures, reported The Pattaya News. Officers from Nong Prue Police Station are now reviewing CCTV footage and collecting witness statements. “We’re investigating to determine the exact cause of the accident and ensure fairness for both parties,” a police spokesperson confirmed. Vongvilay’s body was taken to a local hospital, where it awaits collection by relatives for funeral rites. Authorities also plan to assess whether the ongoing roadworks contributed to the fatal crash, amid growing public pressure to fix what locals are calling one of Pattaya’s most dangerous roads.

Pattaya drug raid: Major dealer arrested, drugs seizedLegacyIn Banglamung District, Pattaya, on July 30, a significant drug bust led by District Chief Patcharapat Sritanyanon resulted in the arrest of a well-known drug dealer, Ratthaphong Phananuson, known by the alias Got Soi Noen. The operation successfully seized 438 methamphetamine pills and 62.61 grammes of crystal methamphetamine, commonly referred to as ice. The investigation began after a tip-off from a drug user pointed to Got Soi Noen as a key supplier in the Pattaya area. A collaborative effort ensued, involving administrative officials led by Wanchai Wannaphrom, along with officers from Nongprue Police Station, including Kamphrai Laosaen, Nathaphop Yomjinda, Natthawat Sophonsewatasilp, and Tharit Chancharoon, to track and apprehend the suspect. Ratthaphong was located driving a black Honda Civic while distributing drugs in Soi Nong Krabok. Upon his capture, police found methamphetamine and ice in a black shoulder bag he was carrying. Further inspection of his vehicle revealed additional amounts of crystal methamphetamine. The operation expanded to Ratthaphong’s home in Soi Nern Plab Wan, where more methamphetamine pills, ice, a digital scale, zip-lock bags used for drug trafficking, and drug paraphernalia were discovered. Following his admission of guilt, Ratthaphong guided officers to a condominium in South Pattaya. Here, a concealed stash of crystal methamphetamine was located in Room 235/95 on the fifth floor. Overall, the operation resulted in the confiscation of 438 methamphetamine pills, 62.61 grammes of crystal methamphetamine, a digital scale, plastic bags, and various drug-related equipment. Ratthaphong was subsequently transferred to Nongprue Police Station for legal proceedings under Thai law, reported The Pattaya News.

Cambodian man arrested for robbery of Russian tourist in PattayaLegacyPattaya police have detained a Cambodian man named Chid Jan in connection with the robbery of Daria Smirnova, a 28 year old Russian tourist. The incident unfolded on July 28 at 8.06pm in Soi Chalermphrakiat 14. The suspect, who was on a motorcycle, allegedly threatened Smirnova with a screwdriver and took her bag, which contained valuables worth roughly 5,000 baht (US$153). The Pattaya City Police, led by Police Colonel Anek Sarathongyoo, along with Lieutenant Colonels Arun Suphanon, Suradet Imjai, and Thanet Saenghiran, quickly organised a response team. Chid Jan was apprehended by 4.30pm on July 29 in Soi Sukhumvit 71. Police managed to recover the stolen bag, as well as other items related to the crime, including the suspect’s clothing, the screwdriver, and the motorcycle used. Investigations revealed that Chid Jan had attempted to escape upon seeing the officers but was effectively captured due to a well-coordinated police strategy. During questioning, he admitted to the robbery, explaining that he was driven by desperation due to unemployment and the need to provide for his family in Cambodia. He mentioned that ongoing job rejections, exacerbated by tensions at the Thai-Cambodian border, led him to borrow a motorcycle and target a lone tourist in a quiet alley. Picture courtesy of The Pattaya News Smirnova commended the Pattaya police for their prompt action and remarked on the recovery of her stolen items within a short time frame. She expressed her confidence in the safety of Pattaya as a tourist destination. Chid Jan is now facing robbery charges and has been handed over to Pattaya City Police investigators for further legal proceedings, along with the evidence collected, reported The Pattaya News.
