This weekend the big Pattaya Musical festival will hit Pattaya. I am sure it will be the longest music festival in Asia but will it be the best one? Last weekend I was out in Pattaya and checked some of the stages and the space between the stage and the street is so small. It will be the same problem as before you have to go aroooound to get to the next stage. You will have no space to move in the crowd it is to packed so you have to go back up on Second road and then go back down. Last time they did like this I walked around on the back because the water was low but I am not sure they will allow this. I think the idea is great and I am happy for Pattaya but if something would happen the water will be safest place to run.
If you do not want to see the music festival I advice you not to go to Pattaya this weekend the traffic will be jammed and the hotels overbooked and overpriced.
Here are the details for the music festival
The blue stage in central Pattaya is for variety. Artists include Klear, Kala, So Cool, Namcha, Ice Sarunyoo, Clash, Black Beauty, Potato, Mike Phiromporn, Brazier, Tai Tanawut, Buddha Bless, Pong-Lang Sa-orn, and Thaitanium.

March 17th, 2010 — Crimes, Pattaya, Property
After the article we had yesterday about the big scam lawyer “Joe” we got some emails about a property broker in Pattaya that also trying to fraud people. The name of this property agent in Pattaya will soon be known to the public but they are looking for victims.
We normal do not write about cases to be but this case we talked to the lawyers in questions and seen the files they submitted in to the court.
Apparently a very big property agent in Pattaya have been taking deposits and never given the money to the owner of the houses leaving the buyers stranded.
He (because it is a he and he is a foreigner) has selected customers that do not stay in Thailand and have asked them to send money to him. When he got the money he have simple kept the money and not given the owners of the property any money.
My guess is that he will soon run away from Thailand because he will be arrested otherwise. This property agent has a big office in the Pattaya area and always advertises in many newspapers.
If you feel that you have been scammed in a similar way please contact us and we will talk to the lawyer about this and ask him to contact you. The more people sue in the same time the better.

March 16th, 2010 — Corruption, Crimes, Pattaya
Tomorrow at the Police station in Jomtien one of the biggest cases of this year will be revealed. It involves corrupt Thai police and Lawyers and simple criminals in Pattaya. A former lawyer called “JOE” has with his gang of seven others and his wife taken millions of THB from several victims in Pattaya area.
The Thai man called “Joe” have changed names many time during this period and have taken money from different victims to “clear” cases in Pattaya. He has been telling people that he has connections with powerful people in around Pattaya but he simple took the money himself.
Since he was in good standing and had four cars and a few house other lawyers recommended clients to him bookcase they believed he was connected.
His wife and the other suspect are already arrested and tomorrow more charges will be brought against “JOE”.
If you know anybody that got tricked by this person in Pattaya or you think you got cheated by him, you can contact us with email or phone and we will put you in contact with the right police people.
Be very careful when you trying to get someone to “clear” something do not give money before you get some results.

March 14th, 2010 — Crimes, East Thailand, Pattaya, Travel Warning
The Pattaya Police are doing a crackdown gold snatchers and thief that snatch god and bags from Tuk Tuks. Tourists feel safe in a Tuk Tuk but many cases of necklaces snatching from the outside of the car while moving has proven otherwise. Since many people are aware of the thief’s they do not flash gold chains in public anymore but the thief’s have started to snatch from tourists on moving cars.
Anybody who catches a snatcher will get a reward of 2000 THB and the Pattaya Police are hoping that motorbike taxi and Tuk Tuk drivers will help catch the thief’s.
The ironic part is that many of the taxi drivers are snatchers themselves, when they not drive a motorbike they snatch bags and gold.
When traveling in Pattaya do not flash your gold or leave your bag unattended even in the day time.
