Thread: Russian Tourist Arrested After Rampage in Pattaya Hotel

A Russian tourist was arrested on Saturday, May 11th, after going on a reported rampage at a Pattaya hotel.


The incident occurred at around 5 PM at an unidentified hotel in Soi 7 near Pattaya Beach. The tourist, who appeared to be intoxicated and in a state of mental distress, had been previously seen snatching a mobile phone from a local.


After being captured and having his stolen phone returned to its rightful owner, the tourist suddenly became violent again and ran into the hotel, where he was apparently not a guest. He then barricaded himself inside a bathroom and began shouting and making a scene.

Eyewitness Mr. Sitthisak Witthayaampon, 36, told The Pattaya News that the unidentified tourist was around 30-35 years old. Hotel staff called the Pattaya police who arrived and attempted to negotiate with the tourist, but he refused to cooperate.


The police then decided to use pepper spray on the tourist, which successfully forced him out of a bathroom. After a brief struggle, authorities were able to take him into custody.


The tourist, whose identity has not yet been released, is currently being held in police custody. He is facing charges of disorderly conduct and causing a public nuisance.


It is unclear what triggered his outburst, The Pattaya News noted.

Pretty common behavior in these parts MK. I am down here now and its a utter freak, drunk show.

Well, if you do choose to billet yourself in some seedy squalid shithole corner in order to skimp on expenses I daresay you, yourself, are part of that ghastly tableau that is the lower end farang whoremongering trash, you gormless seppo twat.

I suspect the Russkie has been smoking dope after consuming too much booze.

FO SA. I am staying at a top place and from the 31st floor Pattaya looks nice and no smell. But once you leave and trek around, the shithole surfaces. Its your home and you live it. Enjoy it with your wing guy.

Pattaya again.

Quelle surprise.

That gave me a laugh SA. No matter where you stay in this shithole whether 5 star or crap rooms with roaches, you are still in Pattaya. I would never stay here if the other options weren't so inconvenient. Sure I could stay in BKK but that would make my commute 2 hours each way in van. Where our factory is, there are no hotel accommodations and unfortunately customers have required corporate hotels they have to stay in like the Hilton, Holiday Inn or Marriott hotels so I am forced to stay here.

I do not have a limit on my accommodations travel expenses.
