Mr Ek said he had been drinking with friends at the venue when a dispute broke out between women in his group and another group. A man accompanying the opposing group allegedly pushed one of the women, prompting Mr Ek to intervene and tell him the matter should be resolved between the women themselves. The man reportedly became angry and called more than 20 associates to the scene.
According to Mr Ek, he attempted to calm the situation and explain what had happened, but the group refused to listen and attacked him. He suffered swelling around his right eye and bruising across his body. He urged police to quickly track down the attackers and bring them to justice.
Two additional people were injured while trying to assist him. A married couple, Mr A, 26, and Ms Nan, 26, said they rushed in to help after seeing Mr Ek being beaten. They were also assaulted by the group, and Ms Nan was struck while trying to stop the violence.
Police initially recorded statements from all three victims as evidence and issued medical examination forms so they could receive treatment at hospital. Investigators have been assigned to review CCTV footage from the area to identify the suspects and proceed with legal action.
The incident has raised concerns about safety at nightlife venues in Pattaya, particularly regarding large groups becoming involved in personal disputes. Authorities have indicated they will rely on surveillance footage and witness testimony to establish the identities of those responsible. The victims have expressed hope that swift action will prevent similar incidents in the future.
