5 vs 1: French tourist attacked in Pattaya [VIDEO]

 

 

A French tourist has told police he was attacked by a gang of five men in South Pattaya.

 

The unnamed Frenchman, aged between 20-25 years, said he was jumped by the Thai men as he walked along Soi Buakhao in the early hours of Saturday morning.

 

The man said he was knocked unconscious during the attack and robbed.

 

When he came round he called for help and was assisted by staff at a nearby hotel who contacted the police.

 

Although the Frenchman said he had trouble remembering exactly what happened, he said that he thought that had been attacked by up to five men.

 

He also suffered injuries to his back and right eyebrow.

 

The Frenchman told police that this is his first trip to Thailand and the first time he had visited Pattaya.

 

Police said they are investigating and will check CCTV footage from the area.

The other five must have gone home for an early night !

First and last time ?

Shouldn't he be wearing a shirt whilst out in public ?

Maybe get some more "defensive" tattoos to ward off any future attacks.

Or just maybe he got his shirt ripped off in the attack...

Yes quite possible.

This is really not too good for Thailand, and it starts being more and more of this shit.

Meaby this was a  grumpy Lb but it sounds better of group of 5 Thai men 

And he doesn't really remember what happen but remember group of 5 men??????

So, he goes home, tells all his family and friends, and Thailand loses a few more potential tourists.  Som nom na.

Did he not tell the police his name and age? Not much injuries for a 5 man attack.

A Pattaya police spokesman said, 'There will be a thorough investigation as soon as the entire police force recover from the debauchery of the weekend revels.'

Did he not tell the police his name and age? Not much injuries for a 5 man attack.

His "eyebrow" got hurt

Seriously? I don't recollect that, but I can't say you are wrong as I don't have the stats.

Certainly never as bad in the 90s.

 

It's all gone wrong for Pattaya. Far from becoming the Riviera of SEA, it's a rather decrepit town with loads of ugly buildings, some of which won't be finished, decaying public infrastructure- pier, marina, car parking building, a filthy beach with toxic water, visible crime, chaotic traffic, more tourists than can be handled safely, and no suggestion that the myriad problems will be sorted any time soon, if ever.

That's right, they are all on Walking Street, which appears to be the only place in Pattaya that they care about.

How do you know they are cowards?

Were you there?

Welcome to pattya. Wonder why anyone comes to this place. Muggings, dirty filthy beaches, horrible traffic. Jet ski scammers, mangy soi dogs,  etc. 20 years ago nice place to come for weekend with family. No more

Would you be happier if he was in hospital fighting for his life?

Little cut? Sure but the bruise on his shoulder is quite large and will look nasty in few hours and was certainly very painful at the time when the video was shot. Crying his eyes out because of the pain and realizing he was robbed and lost his money, phone etc.

Or get the ones that allow him to say things in a way that people will believe his every word. Those are pretty popular, and he then could have talked his way out of this mess

No, you probably do not act like a <deleted>.

Hence, those of us who do not have the same problems as others.

That's why Pattaya introduced the safe zone some months ago...i bet soi Buakao is in that.

That Thai woman said the guy first said he walked with one person who attacked him for no reason and then left. And he just arrived from the airport and doesn’t know where his friends are. 

 

At at the station that person became a gang attack from five people. 

 

Sounds like a night out with a LB went wrong and he doesn’t want to admit it.

Muslim is not a nationality, and how do you know he is Muslim? Can Muslim have permanent tattoos on their back like he has. Can anybody recognize the alphabet used in his tattoo, does not look like arabic?
