Three men believed to be security guards at a Pattaya entertainment venue were filmed fighting a foreign tourist on Walking Street in Chon Buri during the early hours of 27 May. The clip, which spread widely on social media, showed the three Thai men confronting the tourist in what appeared to be a three-against-one altercation before both sides eventually dispersed.

The footage was shared by the Facebook page “Pattaya Wan Wan Phan Kwa Rueang”, which stated that the incident took place near the centre of Walking Street in South Pattaya, Chon Buri province. Two of the three Thai men were wearing black vests resembling the uniforms of venue security guards.
The 46-second clip showed both the Thai group and the foreign tourist appearing experienced in fighting, adopting Muay Thai stances before exchanging punches in the street. During the fight, the three Thai men repeatedly attempted to corner and strike the tourist, while the foreign man fought back and at one stage knocked one of the Thai men to the ground.
The confrontation continued after the Thai group regained control, with one man landing a heavy punch to the tourist’s face, causing him to fall to his knees. The tourist was then surrounded again before another foreign man wearing a white shirt stepped in to separate the fighters. The video ended shortly afterwards.

The post accompanying the footage included the caption: “When a foreigner wants to test his skills… challenges the guards to a fight! Thai guards with service-minded hearts offer a promotion: come alone, get plenty more.” The post rapidly attracted attention online following its circulation on 27 May.
Reporters later visited the scene outside an entertainment venue on Walking Street but found the businesses closed, with only staff members guarding the premises. Attempts to gather eyewitness accounts were unsuccessful, with workers suggesting reporters return during the evening when more people who may have seen the incident would be present.
The administrators of the “Pattaya Wan Wan Phan Kwa Rueang” page told reporters that the video had been submitted by one of their followers. They also confirmed that the fight reportedly occurred at around 3.45am on the morning of 27 May.
The Daily News reported that no information was provided about injuries, arrests, or police action linked to the altercation. It also remains unclear what caused the confrontation before the fight began.
