In early August, Pattaya police dealt with a case involving a group of teenage Kuwaiti nationals. They had allegedly hired two Burmese to create a fake video in which a Burmese posed as a mafia member and held a fake gun to the head of ten Kuwaiti men.

This incident occurred at a lookout point near Phra Tamnak Hill in Pattaya. Police arrested four Kuwaiti individuals, aged 19-20, for conspiracy to spread false information that panicked the public. The penalty can be a jail term of up to one month or a fine of up to ten thousand baht, or both.
