Pakistani Nationals Brawl on Pattaya Beach, 2 Hurt

Police in Pattaya responded at 01:05 on 5 June 2026 to a violent clash on Pattaya Beach near Pattaya City Police Station, Chon Buri, involving around 20 Pakistani tourists. The confrontation escalated into a group fight that left two people injured and caused alarm among Thai and foreign tourists nearby.

One victim suffered a head injury after being struck with a hard object believed to be a knuckle duster, while another sustained a cut to the hand from a sharp object. Emergency responders provided first aid before both were taken to hospital.

Footage recorded by bystanders showed the group arguing intensely before splitting into opposing sides and engaging in a violent brawl on the beach. Witnesses said the dispute stemmed from exchanges and challenges made via social media on a messaging application, with both sides agreeing to meet at the beach to settle the matter.

The situation escalated quickly as tensions rose, resulting in a chaotic fight involving blows and weapons, including a suspected knuckle duster and a blade used to injure one participant’s hand. The group was described as being visibly agitated before the violence broke out in front of tourists.

Officers from Pattaya City Police Station, led by investigator Police Lt Sub Lt Chewalit Suwanmanee, arrived at the scene and brought the situation under control. All involved parties were detained for questioning and injured individuals were given medical treatment.

While in custody at the police station, several members of the group were reportedly seen holding bags of a kratom-based drink and attempting to avoid media cameras after realising they were being filmed. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the confrontation and are preparing legal proceedings under Thai law.

Police said all participants will be further questioned as part of the investigation, with charges to be considered depending on evidence and witness statements. The injured parties remain under medical care, and authorities are reviewing video footage and testimony to determine responsibility for the beach brawl.

The classic "hold me back" regardless of nationality . I can't help laughing when I see a couple of drunken, 100kg , 60 + year olds "squaring up" to each other from about 3 metres away, each being "held back " effortlessly by a 30 kg bar girl !

I mean come on lads who are you trying to kid?

Good question, what are they doing here, If they have come to try setting up grooming gangs, they might find Thailand a bit harder to crack than the UK.

Watched the video. Where was the 'brawl', pray tell? Looked like it was some half-hearted pushing back and forth at the beginning and then mostly one guy wearing all-white clothing that was the main problem after that, with others trying to restrain him. As another poster said, much ado about nothing.

He wouldn't share the last packet of four straws is the story that I got told

Looked like one guy was scared, and the other was glad of it. And both happy when the cops showed up, what does that tell you?

"Brawl" indeed.

This slapping match was probably caused by deciding who was the rightful owner of one ladyboy.

Deport them all.. 😡

Whenever a foreigner is in the news for bad behavior, I count the number of posts before we get a "Deportation!" demand. It took 8 posts today (and the very next post is the same). By the way, you are part of a growing problem, because Thai people / authorities have few resources to "understand" how Foreigners think. If I were immigration / police ... I could easily bring in hundreds of "Deportation Demands" like yours and say ... "The foreigners feel that this is what we should do, for even the most minor offense." Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it someday!

The main thing that struck me from the video, was there was a hell of a lot of wind on the beach last night.

Looks like a bunch of headless chooks having a go. The falang in the red tee shirt looks as though he is acting as a referee plus he's trying to separate them and is wearing glasses. If I was stupid enough to get involved like he did I would at least take off my glasses. You wouldn't want some idiot to hit you in the face. Glass fragments in the eye would not be good.

Somehow two people got injured and needed medical treatment. Hard to believe from the video. Maybe there were some off camera scuffles.

I also wonder if they are real tourists here for a one or two week holiday. It doesn’t seem like they are having much fun. Since it was an arranged meet maybe they aren’t holiday makers?
