Even I a newbie has heard of the falang trying to jump in the swimming pool from the 21st floor of a block of flats.
Are there wider issues? I believe that there are quite a few criminals on the run in Pattaya and paying a hitman being so cheap you can never tell who is really behind these incidents. Vendettas amongst falang? who knows?
What is certain is that the Thai police appear to be 'challenged' by the word work and even more so by the words Police work. Which is probably par for the course in a Third World country.
Feel very safe in Bangkok consider that if you walking in the middle of drug addicts hookers and hustlers and the only one that 4 in the morning trying to grab you is some left over ladyboys outside foodland nana
