THAI PIRATES CONTINUING BRUTAL ATTACKS ON VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE

Nguyen Tien Hoa says he escaped from Vietnam in mid-November aboard a 50-foot boat that carried about 75 refugees, more than half of them women and children.
 
By the end of the month, Mr. Hoa, 31 years old, wounded, distraught and alone in a disabled vessel with his 10-year-old brother, drifted ashore in Malaysia, where the boy died of shock and untended injuries.
 
A few days later, Mr. Hoa told an American diplomat in Kuala Lumpur what had happened. It was a chronicle of repeated attacks, robbery, torture, rape and murder at the hands of Thai pirates. In a subsequent cablegr am relaying the account to the State Department, the embassy in Malaysia said, ''For unrelieve d, repetitive brutality,the story is one of the worst we have heard.' '
 
Mr. Hoa's story provided State Department Asian specialists and refugee officials with what one diplomat described as a first-person confirmation of worrying statistical evidence. 14 Incidents of Mass Murder
 
Figures compiled by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees show that there were 14 documented incidents of mass murder of Vietnamese boat people in Thai waters in 1981.
 
United Nations figures also show that in the first 10 months of the year, 289 refugee boats were attacked - with, on average, more than three attacks per boat. There were 484 known deaths or murders and 583 identified rape victims.
 
In addition, 199 women and girls were recovered from Thai houses of prostitution to which they had been abducted. In most cases, as in Mr. Hoa's, victims identified their attackers as Thai pirates or fishermen. Officials emphasize that they believe that these figures represent only a part of the problem.
 
In Mr. Hoa's account, the boat on which he was traveling was attacked by a total of 13 other craft. In the first attack, pirates boarded the boat, removed all the valuables and raped the women before taking them, along with the children, away. Thai Patrols Curtailed
 
Since last September, Thai naval vessels have virtually stopped patrolling Thailand's approximately 600 miles of coastline, American diplomats say. In September a 1980 agreement between Thailand and the United States, under which Washington provided the money necessary for the Thai patrols, expired.
 
Negotiations to renew the agreement foundered last summer, officials say, because Thailand wanted a larger grant. After the International Committee of the Red Cross brought to international attention the plight of the unprotected Vietnamese, the United Nations refugee commission undertook to frame an internationally financed program to replace the Thai-American accord.
 
Although Bangkok has agreed in principle to that program, refugee officials said this week that the Thais were continuing to ask for more than the $3.6 million package the United Nations had proposed. Thais are also apparently balking at a United Nations request to have a committee of foreign diplomats in Bangkok monitor the program. U.S. Pledges $600,000
 
The United States has pledged $600,000 to the international effort. Other contributions include $285,000 from Australia, $266,650 from Norway, $220,000 from Switzerland and $100,000 each from France and West Germany.
Meanwhile, the waters off Thailand are unpatrolled, although the United Nations has already purchased three 40-to 45-foot patrol boats, some small motorboats and a few small patrol aircraft for use by the Thais.
 
The United Nations commission has also arranged for some posting along the coast of its own employees - a function well outside the normal role of refugee officials.
 
Representatives of the Swedish Save the Children fund are providing rape counseling. Voice of America broadcasts, diplomats said, have warned the Vietnamese of dangers in the Gulf of Thailand. But boat people continue to risk both attack and repulsion from Thai shores by authorities carrying out that country's laws against illegal immigration. According to United Nations figures, 12,526 boat people arrived in Th ailand from January through November of last year.
 
Thais have been putting many in refugee camps. But they also have been reported to be towing Vietnamese boats back out to sea.
