Wonder why the Jet Sci scams have been allowed to continue in Pattaya for decades? Something similar happened on a national level at Suvarnabhumi Airport in 2009. Back in 2009 they wanted 500,000 baht to let you get on your flight out of the country. The problems always occurred at the King Power duty free shop. Abhisit was in power, unable to do anything. At first they targeted Europeans, then when the news hit the media they shifted to target Indian and Asian tourists. In 2014 the extortion of tourists or shakedown took place at Thonglor. Whether it is at the national airport, Thonglor or at Pattaya beach, the story is always the same: Tourists have to pay large amounts of money, we are talking a minimum of 100,000 baht. These things are not fun to write about but talking about it the only way to improve the situation. It is noteworthy that PM Abhisit Vejjajiva was unable to do anything about it in 2009. news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8154497.stm
