A recent incident that has captured the attention of social media revolves around a highly charged altercation, leaving international tourists astounded on the shores of South Pattaya Beach.
The viral video, which has been widely shared on various social media platforms, shows a confrontation between a young man and a transgender woman (LGBTQ), as reported by 77kaoded.
The argument escalated with pushing, chasing, and a brief scuffle. The video, lasting over 1.02 minutes, captures moments where onlookers can be heard asking, "Is she transgender?" and urgently saying, "The police are on their way!" before the two groups finally separate.
The incident unfolded along the south end of Pattaya Beach, near Soi 13/1, South Pattaya Beach Road, Moo 10, Nongprue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi.
On the evening of October 15th, news reporters visited the scene to confirm the incident. They interviewed Mr. Chaem, a 56-year-old eyewitness, who shared that the confrontation had occurred late at night on October 13th.
Three foreign tourists were casually walking along the beach when a group of transgender women, who appeared to be involved in sex work, approached them. When the tourists declined their proposition, a water-throwing incident occurred, mirroring what was seen in the viral video. After the altercation, both groups went their separate ways.
The Pattaya City Police Station confirmed that neither party involved had filed a report about the incident. However, they have launched an investigation because the video has negatively affected Pattaya's reputation as a tourist destination.

Looks to me like a big guy picking on a little guy. Don't blame the shrimp from running away. Some of these ladyboys are built like the incredible hulk.

Every topic turns into I'm right you are wrong rant
I've noticed you being the Rottweiler in more than a few posts.
Do as I do, post whatever it is you want to say and leave. I have a rule never to enter into a debate on this or any other forum. Life's too short.

If high season in Thailand didn't coincide with the European cold damp winter, I would avoid being in TH in December-February.
I gave up playing regular golf after I arrived here. Pity, because I thought with low land prices and wages golf would be dirt cheap. The owners must be coining it.

Wise does not offer a Credit Card, with which you can spend money you do not have. It is simply a Debit Card on which you must put money first. A bit like a Thai Credit Card.
Still very useful though I imagine, when people are being debanked left, right and centre simply for living overseas.

Brits are no problem compared to Swiss head-the-balls. My Thai missus agrees with me.

50 years for a guy using a “company car” private? This is the new max of insanity in thailand.
Don't forget the Dutch guy who got 103 years for money laundering. His house on Phoenix Gold Course is a derelict since the govt commandeered it. The land must be worth a pretty penny though. Wonder who now owns the chanote?

I suppose the beach music festivals and the trucks blasting out their bass-heavy rubbish at weekends is included in the price. I used to live in a beachside condo in Jomtien but decided to move to a house in a quieter area away from the seaside. Never regretted it.

you at a higher interest rate. They are using monies from others to loan to you. Something like Trump and his family did for years - tell the banks their housing and properties were worth tons of dollars when they weren't and getting cheap loans but telling the tax people that their properties were much cheaper.
I knew Donald Trump would be blamed sooner or later. It's overflowing with lefty expats in Thailand.

Road noise is outrageous, why so many China Supporters on here mostly English Blokes fanboys
Funny that, I'm English and although the MG looks great and is cheapish, there's a catch. It's Chinese and from what I've heard and read, has a bad after-sales reputation. Give me Toyota every time. Like the look of the new Yaris.

Because he could afford to probably and I'd do the same if I had the money.

Then - get out and drive at Zero-Dark Thirty on a Thai road? Most bicyclists who drive in the dark, even if they have their little lights and little flashing blinker, simply are immensely difficult to see.
"You're an anti-bike car lovering cyclist-hater. Arrgghh."
Not at all. A bicycle was my ONLY transportation in University (I was dirt poor), and I'd routinely put 30 miles a day on the bike, much of that at night on US roads. Driving on US roads at night was dangerous. Imho, driving in the dark in Thailand is deadly. Case in point - right here.Agreed. Also, most cars here have blacked-out windows. I keep on at my daughter to have her windscreen changed because if ever I drive her car in the dark, I have difficulty seeing bikes and pedestrians. It is definitely dangerous and it worries me to death that she seems to think it's normal to have reduced vision.

You might think Thailand is exciting.
Thailand is BORING compared to HK years ago.
I feel sorry for you.
I worked in HK 1969-71. I was disappointed because it was a bit too civilised and modern for my taste. It wasn't a patch on my two year stay in Singapore 1963-65 which I thought was fantastic and nothing like what it is today. I suspect Thailand at that time was out of this world. I was never fortunate to visit here until 2007, but people used to talk about it in glowing terms. I have no desire to revisit HK or Singers.

2019 redux.
Back then I think he made visits to temples in India, maybe a vacation in the U.S.?
Back to the Lazarus Pit.
I predict he will make a comeback.
Yes, he's as slippery as he looks. We all wrote him off last time when he was banished to some obscure office job.

Even better, Braveman wants anybody who has first entered a previous EU country... completely disqualified...as the are no longer a refugee/migrant to the UK by definition.
Probably true, I believe they're supposed to apply from the first safe country that they reach. Here's betting however, that most of that lot landing up on Lampedusa will find it's way to the UK. The perks are just too good to ignore.

I should have thought that if the account holder doesn't own a property in the UK and uses the address of a family member or friend that he stays with when he's in the UK, then that isn't a false address. I use my family members address for all my correspondence, not just my bank. Anything important he emails a copy or sends it on by post if I need the original and vice versa.

A Friend's experience - a few weeks ago, after 50 years with Barclays, he queried by email the non-arrival of his new debit card, and received this circular in return https://www.barclays.co.uk/important-information/living-outside-the-uk/#EEAresidents
And that was that !! I note that such closures apply to the credit card, current a/c, savings a/c, ISA, Home insurance, Bonds/deposits and loans. A shocker all round.
I would miss the credit card if Nationwide debanked me. I don't know how else I'd hire a car when I visit UK without it. I have three other banks in the UK I use for banking, but the CC is with NW.

Cue. Thai bashing.
The truth about the appallingly bad driving here is not Thai bashing. I love it here and like the Thais (I'm married to one), but agree with every word the OP says.

I think the Thais are trying to be polite, but despite my efforts, it does grate with me. Similar to being called "John" as a young soldier in Singapore. I do however always react politely.

Probably a result of the Brexit.
I see the economy is tanking similar to Russia's.
England the only country in history where the people actually voted to have sanctions placed on themselves.
Utter garbage! Being an expat using online banking from Thailand has beggar all to do with Brexit. I wish you remainers (lefties) would get over it and bow to the democratic will of the people.

Good grief.
Which would make me suspicious being that his native language was English and he was on holiday and only been in Thailand "a number of months".

It is a 6mm tinted GLASS sheet fitted onto the outside of the window with a 1" space between it and the original sliding glass window.
We had one of the many glass window shops measure it up, cut it and fit it.
I don't think it required a frame just fitted on top of the original window frame and fixed with an alu strip round it and screwed to the original frame to hold it, and finished with some white polyurethane seal
Sounds a good idea. I'll investigate locally.

So you're OK with driving when too old, or driving at 35mph in a 30mph zone?
Sounds like pick and choose to me!
Think of the Taffies. There's a 20mph speed limit in some areas of Wales, thanks to the lefty devolved government.
