In Topic: Jet Ski Scam Pattaya When Will It Stop

2012-05-27 12:08:58

I find it absolutely fascinating that this Scam can generate a consistent interest with a plethora of recorded and witnessed incidents providing more than enough reason for Jet Ski Hire in Pattaya to be totally ceased full stop until there are enforceable Regs put in Place.

But that is a normal procedure to eradicate an organised crime Scam so I guess that is not going to happen.

Almost 700 replies to this topic over time and there were oither threads some years ago similar .

The reality is that with the Funds generated by the Participants and the 'Blind Eye' supplied by authorities this will continue unabated and even if there is a Death it will not stop but will continue in another variation.

It is similar to the Drug market "Too Much Money to be made"

Sad but True

In Topic: Jet Ski Scam Pattaya When Will It Stop

IMHO I doubt that a process generating millions of Baht annually will be eradicated, particularly when the Overseers of the Scams are sharing the spoils with the Organisations that are supposed to stop it.

High profile arrests of unconnected Teens will not fool too many people I hope.

Just appeared on Oz TV that a Female (Pauline Hanson) was able to purchase a complete set of Photo IDs in Bangkok in the name of Julia Gillard. Glad she didn't hire a Jetski in Pattaya it would have cost more.

Had my first taste of action yesterday, to be honest I had been miserable thinking about it after reading everything on here about how people hated it etc. Anyway after a few minutes my mind was quickly changed. Everyone having fun, roasting hot day, playing in the water, drinking beer, men, women and children laughing, playing and having fun.

Really does get on my nerves farangs trying to dictate what should happen in Thailand, when I was in england it would make me livid when you would have immigrants telling us that Christmas was offensive or that I cant do things this way because it offends people etc. If you dont like it go to somewhere that local tradition doesnt wind you up or just simply leave whilst songkran is on and let the thai people and farangs who want to join in the festives get on with it.

What goes on in Pattaya or other farang intensive locations has not a lot to do with tradition. Tradition is when the children pay respect to their elders and is a charming occasion. Rightly or wrongly I blame farangs for turning what was a sensitive and respectful occasion into drunken mayhem - and the locals follow suit. Not a few offices and businesses in town close for a whole week causing disruption to many. As others have pointed out, those who participate in hurling water, which many would like assurances that it is potable, hardly qualify to be considered forming part of the intelligensia - which goes some way to explaining their brutal senselessness..

Spot On

Songkran in Pattaya is NOT the Traditional Thai Festival it is an excuse for Drunken Idiots to be more idiotic than ususal. But it's now entrenched
