Pattaya officers puzzled by foreign tourist’s erratic behaviourLegacyJomtien municipal officers were called to investigate reports of a foreign man acting suspiciously along Jomtien Second Road, Pattaya, yesterday, April 30. Initially, the situation appeared to be under control, with the man engaging in conversations with officers and passersby. However, he suddenly fled the scene, sprinting down the road away from the officers, raising further concerns among residents and officers alike. Local Jomtien municipal officers and police have assured the public that they will continue monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of the community. Meanwhile, locals have voiced increasing fears over the man’s erratic behaviour. One resident reported seeing the man talking to himself earlier in the morning, while another claimed to have witnessed him chasing a dog, seemingly with the intent to harm it. Some locals suggest this is not the first time the man has displayed such behaviour, calling for stronger measures, including possible deportation. The situation has sparked a wave of public concern, with online commenters urging stricter visa checks and tougher enforcement against foreign nationals who may pose a threat to public safety, reported Pattaya Mail.
