Tattoo Artist Reports Groping by Tourist in Pattaya

A 23-year-old female tattoo artist in Pattaya has reported an incident of assault to local police after being groped by a tourist. The incident took place around 9:30 PM on March 11 outside her tattoo shop on Pattaya's Soi 5. The victim, identified only as Kulsirisanjakorn, was approached by three Russian-speaking men who initially inquired about tattoo prices.

During the interaction, two men examined her tattoos by lifting her arm, which she believed was due to their curiosity. However, the situation escalated when one man, wearing a white shirt, groped her chest. Following the assault, the group quickly left the scene.

Kulsirisanjakorn promptly filed a complaint at Pattaya City Police Station, providing CCTV footage to substantiate her claims. Police have opened an investigation and handed the footage to detectives who are working to identify and locate the suspects involved in the incident.

Authorities are treating the matter seriously and are eager to apprehend the culprits to ensure justice. This incident has raised concerns about tourist conduct and safety measures in popular tourist areas. Public awareness and vigilance are key components to preventing similar occurrences in the future.

Looking forward, the police plan to utilize the CCTV evidence to trace the suspects. They aim to press charges once the individuals are located. The community hopes for swift justice and increased awareness to curb such incidents, reported Bangkok Post.

Some foreigners believe that all Thai girls are open to such behavior. They come to thailand only looking for cheap sex.

It’s a very sad situation which comes from Thailands reputation as a cheap sex society. Unfortunately true. A friends wife was propositioned and insulted by a foreign man checking into the 4 * hotel where she is receptionist. Some men are really out of order,

My thoughts entirely- it seems a lot of foreign men of all Nationalities abandon any remote thoughts of being polite or respectful to Thai ladies- and treat them with contempt

Well tatoos do go with junkies, drugs, drunks...sorry but it goes with the job unfortunately. Trying to make a fast buck in this field can have some risks. Of course such form of grooping is not to be accepted and the people must be deported immediately as they give a bad image of all decent foreigners in Thailand.

The reason a woman is groped is lack of restraint from a man acting like a little boy who wasn't taught respect for women as a child. Women aren't fair game no matter what they're wearing.

In a John Wick movie, the victim would disappear, never to be seen again. Keanu would avenge her death, of course. But that wouldn't help her.

I hope the Pattaya cops are better than the movie cops. But I worry about the lass.
