Maple Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 There is a front page article titled, "FBI In Pattaya" in the Pattaya People Newspaper for 1-8 March 2008. Tucked in the end of the article is the following sentence: "The FBI and American Embassy are also interested to get closer to the Pattaya community regarding investigation of illegal activities and wrong doings of US citizens here in Pattaya." I would be interested in Hedda's thoughts and opinion on this. Quote
Gaybutton Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I can't speak for Hedda, but my own opinion is that I can think of a great many ways our tax dollars could be better spent, if the article has its information correct. Is it now the policy of the US government to send agents out to spy upon and police its citizens in foreign countries? That sounds like whoever came up with that idea received his training from the KGB and the Gestapo. I can understand foreign police agencies cooperating with the Thai police, but I would have a problem accepting the idea that some sort of secret police group is being formed in a foreign country to spy on its own people, and in the process circumvent the Thai police, as something justifiable. They must be under the impression that crimes being committed by US citizens are so rampant in Pattaya that now spies should be put in place. Quote
Guest Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 "The FBI and American Embassy are also interested to get closer to the Pattaya community regarding investigation of illegal activities and wrong doings of US citizens here in Pattaya." It is funny. A few of them are staying at my hotel and I saw them having drinks by the pool with a few sexy Thai ladies they invited back. So I guess they really are interested in getting closer to the Pattaya community. I do feel disgruntled that there were no male guys with them. Is that sexual discrimination? How can they get to know the community if they don't send a few gay agents here as well? I am glad to see our tax dollars at work here. BTW: I also found it interesting that the US Embassy has several high end houses they rent in Pattaya for special guests. Who the fuck do they send to Pattaya for a retreat? Quote
