British tourist left shocked after ‘Wild West’ amid rolling brawl among club hostesses and dancers

[webfact]

28-year-old Jack Fitzmaurice after he had recovered somewhat from his injuries on Sunday morning. He suffered abraisons when a violent conflagration erupted among over 20 women, which began when one became piqued by his Thai girlfriend, 35-year-old Sunaree Tungprakhon (right), at a Soi Buakhao Go Go club in Pattaya.

Riotous scenes as Thai nightlife workers let rip when tensions overflowed at a well-known Pattaya Go Go bar early on Sunday morning. Police are investigating the matter as a serious disturbance although it is not clear if charges have been filed or are being pursued by the victims involved.

28-year-old British holidaymaker Jack Fitzmaurice found himself chased by screaming dancers, bar hostesses and staff from a nightclub in Pattaya’s Soi Buakhao on Sunday morning after feminine pique turned into jealousy and rage among the bar’s workers when he was seen to be engaged with his 35-year-old Thai girlfriend. The UK man was left lying outside the club with cuts and abrasions in a bewildered state as police restored order.

 

Pattaya police are investigating a brawl and an outbreak of violence at a well-known nightlife venue in the city early on Sunday morning in which a 28-year-old British tourist was an assault victim when he was attacked by over 20 Thai women, many of them working as hostesses at the Paradise A Go Go club on the city’s Soi Buakhao, a popular destination for foreign tourists and in the heart of the city’s nightlife centre.

Significantly, the city’s entertainment district has been experiencing a revival this year as numbers rise inexorably with the recovery of the country’s foreign tourism industry.

At length, the Thai woman, who is herself a dancer, said she was attacked by one of the women working at the club but would not be pursuing the case or filing a formal complaint with the police which could lead to complications if a prosecution was to ensue. 

 

How could it get more complicated? You've got bodies by the score and the English is going to be scarred for life--one way or another.

Any pretext is good to trigger these savages.

 

Who would want to  frequent these places?

you talk as if thailand is the only place where fights break out in bars? savages, to use your term, exist in every country

[NONG CHOK]

As a long time resident of Thailand with an Isaan wife I've been to many festivals ( pissathons ) up north. Believe me when they cut loose they are feral. Twenty against one is the odds they like, more so when they are one of the twenty. It appears that most were gang related, probably over the sale of yabba.

So the girls rioted over him, sounds pretty cool to me, hardly life scarring stuff.

Really?

How often was anybody triggered by you or your friends?

IMHO there is always a reason why these things happen. And normally there are warning signs before anything happens. And there are moments to say I am sorry and walk away.

But of course, some people think they can do whatever they want, and nothing will happen. Yeah, sure, just try it.

Always a great idea to take your "girlfriend" (who is also a "dancer") into another go-go bar full of "dancers" whose sole purpose is to do exactly what his "girlfriend" has done.

Obviously not you.

Can't count how often I visited a Pattaya Gogo incl Paradise.

And no trouble in Paradise and elsewhere since 2004.

If your not drunk as a skunk, check your bin and behave like a human, a Gogo it one of the safest places to be in Pattaya.

I agree.. the British can be absolute savages. Often the center of a fight and trouble.. Planes... Trains.. Holiday destinations and especially in a pub 

[kcpattaya]

Shut down this Paradise aGoGo immediately - never open again.
That will these these <deleted> <deleted>!

It happens ONLY in Thailand?

You have never heard of these incidents happening in any other country?

How about your home country?

Just asking to find a 100% civilized place without any savages to live peacefully.

Maybe he used the melee to cop a feel while they were beating the living $hit out of him, there's always an opportunity in a crisis.

If you listen to TAT foreign families looking for a friendly destination...

Reality is low life morons looking for sun, fun & beer, and the government is about to add on 2 more drinking hours.

Well I never - he we go again, Pattaya the International family friendly holiday resort!

[Bobthegimp]

The jealous geezers want the young guy deported. If your old ladies were in the bar they'd be scrapping for his young dick too. 

 

There does have to be more to this story.  Isn't the bar in question a tranny bar?  The "girlfriend" in the photo looks a dude.

Yes, in spite of the Pattaya defenders spouting the delights of the place, this only serves to back up my post of a few days ago re "Pattaya - Family Friendly Resort?"
