According to reports, the argument erupted at 5:06 am when the ladyboys accused the tourist of not paying for their services and physically assaulting them. A video of the chase was captured by a bystander and later provided to the police. Witness Anucha Khotmad, a Pattaya municipal officer, saw the scene unfold and sought assistance from nearby businesses to provide towels for the individuals, aiming to lessen public exposure.
Bystanders, along with Anucha, intervened to prevent escalation and reportedly successfully mediated the dispute. The resolution came when the tourist agreed to pay the ladyboys 1,000 baht each. At the scene, neither party pressed charges, and no formal complaint was lodged.
Looking forward, the incident highlights ongoing concerns about public safety and disputes along Pattaya Beach Road. Authorities may review measures to prevent similar occurrences and ensure better handling of public disturbances. Continued investigation or legal action seems unlikely unless initiated by the involved parties, reported The Thaiger.
