Picture captured from CCTV A Thai taxi driver and former assistant village headman, Mr. Chiwun Chimphlee, 50, is seeking justice after being brutally assaulted by a foreigner in Pattaya. The attack, captured on CCTV, has raised concerns about the lack of prompt legal action. The assault took place on the night of December 18, at approximately 23.20 when Mr. Chiwun was dropping off a foreign customer at a cannabis shop in the Kasetsin area of Pattaya, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi Province. A European man, estimated to be in his 50s, appeared frustrated while attempting to open the shop's sliding glass door. A female employee began to assist, but it was Mr. Chiwun who stepped in to open the door. Without warning, the foreigner headbutted Mr. Chiwun in the face and shoved him onto a sofa. He then removed his leather belt with a metal buckle and struck Mr. Chiwun multiple times on the face and head, delivering punches as well. Mr. Chiwun fled to the back of the shop to escape the assault. The attack left Mr. Chiwun with a ruptured blood vessel in his right eye, cuts to his nasal cavity, a split lip, and severe bruising and swelling on his face and head. CCTV footage from the shop recorded the entire incident, providing clear evidence of the violent attack. Following the incident, Mr. Chiwun filed a police report with Pattaya City Police Station and sought medical attention. Despite providing evidence and identifying the suspect, who is believed to be staying at a nearby hotel, no arrest has been made. Frustrated by the lack of action, Mr. Chiwun turned to the media for help. "It has been two days, and the attacker is still free," he said. "As a Thai citizen, I deserve respect and protection under the law. Allowing this individual to remain at large is unacceptable. He could harm someone else." Mr. Chiwun hopes public attention will pressure authorities to act swiftly and bring the foreigner to justice. The case has sparked discussions about the need for stronger enforcement of laws protecting Thai citizens from violence, especially in cases involving tourists. Police investigations are ongoing and no details on the name or nationality of the attacker has been released. Mr. Chiwun awaits updates on whether justice will be served. -- 2024-12-21
