Tim “Sharky” Ward, an Australian resident of Pattaya, known to many for his controversial comments relating to Thailand’s Police, was involved in an angry confrontation with Police and local journalists at Pattaya Police Station in the early hours of Monday..
Mr. Ward was accompanied by two foreign men who were filming the encounter. Police made little attempt to control Mr. Ward, and we were told by one officer, who does not wish to be named, that they feel intimidated by Mr. Ward due to his size and reports that he carries a knife. Police normally refrain from engaging with Mr. Ward who normally leaves the Station without incident..
Mr. Ward did leave the Station without further incident but promised to return until his valuable items are given back to him.
