A recent incident that has captured the attention of social media revolves around a highly charged altercation, leaving international tourists astounded on the shores of South Pattaya Beach.

 

The viral video, which has been widely shared on various social media platforms, shows a confrontation between a young man and a transgender woman (LGBTQ), as reported by 77kaoded.

The argument escalated with pushing, chasing, and a brief scuffle. The video, lasting over 1.02 minutes, captures moments where onlookers can be heard asking, "Is she transgender?" and urgently saying, "The police are on their way!" before the two groups finally separate.

 

The incident unfolded along the south end of Pattaya Beach, near Soi 13/1, South Pattaya Beach Road, Moo 10, Nongprue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi.

 

On the evening of October 15th, news reporters visited the scene to confirm the incident. They interviewed Mr. Chaem, a 56-year-old eyewitness, who shared that the confrontation had occurred late at night on October 13th.

 

Three foreign tourists were casually walking along the beach when a group of transgender women, who appeared to be involved in sex work, approached them. When the tourists declined their proposition, a water-throwing incident occurred, mirroring what was seen in the viral video. After the altercation, both groups went their separate ways.

 

The Pattaya City Police Station confirmed that neither party involved had filed a report about the incident. However, they have launched an investigation because the video has negatively affected Pattaya's reputation as a tourist destination.

Looks to me like a big guy picking on a little guy. Don't blame the shrimp from running away. Some of these ladyboys are built like the incredible hulk.

Expert on that place as well are you BigNob?

He's still looking for a pretty LB, but that dress does suit him.

That's what they were there for in the first place

The worst of these guys tend to work the streets of Pattaya. I give them wide berth and never engage in conversation. There are alot of ladyboy hooligans in Pattaya.

So, it´s better to let some psycho´s pretending to be women chase people out of a whole city?

Psychos? Says who? Do you even know who triggered it or what the trigger was? Do you even know where you are? They have more right to be there than you probably as they are Thai.

Every other week there is a violent incident involving the same ladyboy group on beach road - and those are just the ones reported, there are incidents on a regular basis that aren't. Given their aggressiveness and violent nature they shouldn't be allowed to ply their trade there and be a menace to innocent tourists walking near the beach. I have no problem with them doing whatever the hell they want in ladyboy bars and clubs, but being afraid to walk on street road because men in dresses are acting like thugs and attack at the slightest provocation really is hurting the image of Pattaya, lol.

Darn...such a surprise for the family-friendly and safe" destination of Pattaya.

Should probably not have offered to pay the half price only .
Makes them sensitive. ????

Interesting. The few times I have been there I have never 'bonded' with the vibe. Reeks of stale beer, cigarette smoke, sleaziness, and sperm. Definitely the path of 'least resistance'...

 

unless you go there for the temples.

 

Okay...how many people are offended this time...

 

losers, show yourselves.

What? I am not talking about any right to be anywhere? Of course Thai people have more rights in Thailand than me and other foreigners. However, that does not give psycho ladyboys and transgenders the right to use violence as soon as they not get what they want or someone do not like them. We read about this happening rather frequently. The thing is rather simple, if you chose to climb outside of the standard norm you will also need to have the courage to stand up for what you are without the use of violent actions.

And, FYI, in my world they are psychos.

like the LBs - no balls.

There is also the possibility that they knew if they won the fight, they would be charged with starting it and get shafted by the police.

 

Wasn't there an article a couple of months ago bout the LB groups ganging up on people?

 

Why are they so upset it isn't as if they are making any money or want any involvement other than to talk.

 

WE KNOW THERE IS NO PROSTITUTION IN PATTAYA

I guess you meant cesspit, right? Sure, the city has all the bad parts you are mentioning. However, it also have a lot of good parts. For example a very strong and good expat community, that many foreigners in Thailand seek. Basically same as Los Altos, Spain in that case, to take a very good example. Moreover, foreigners will find all kinds of attractions from barlife, young girls, imported foods, modern accommodation, beach life and so on.... In that case, it´s a magical city.

Water throwing incident? Bit late for Songkran.......

No shocks here I was proud to see a lady boy kick some Muslim Ass!

Why does everyone blame the LB, they have to put up with a lot of sh*t from stupid foreigners. Everybody has their breaking point. 

[John Drake]

Pattaya, the devil's playground.

[MangoKorat]

Many, many years ago, I made the mistake of saying "nah mate, you're a guy" to a katoey on Sukhumvit, Bangkok.  I got out alive but only just.  If the 'customers' in this incident said something similar, I'm not at all surprised at the result.  Thai's never fight 1 to 1 but katoeys are far worse.

Ok, so that makes it ok for them to use violence on, steal money and gold from, foreigners? Can you please give me lots of info about foreigners beating up LB´s and transgenders in Pattaya. I can deliver the opposite. So, there you have it in plain text to be seen as facts. Then you know why the blame falls on them. If you have anything else you need sorted out, feel free to ask. ????

How many times have the RTP tried to stop Ladyboy sex workers near the beach? Obviously it hasn't worked?
