The video depicts the foreign woman, dressed in an elephant-pattern skirt, targeting a ladyboy in a pink mini dress. She is seen shouting and making mocking gestures. Despite attempts by the ladyboy to avoid conflict, the situation turned violent when the foreign woman struck her, leading to a scuffle.
Bystanders recorded the altercation, noting that the ladyboy typically avoids confrontation unless provoked. Several other ladyboys joined the fracas, which resulted in the foreign woman being attacked and knocked to the ground. She was repeatedly hit, kicked, and struck with a shoe before a Thai man intervened, allowing her to leave.
Witnesses claimed the foreign woman seemed heavily intoxicated and had been acting provocatively, allegedly seeking free drinks from men at a bar. Despite the incident, there have been no reports of any police complaints filed by those involved. The motive behind the altercation remains uncertain, reported The Thaiger.
