Popular Post webfact Posted December 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2023 A former US soldier sought help from locals in Pattaya after a Thai man punched him in the face. The victim was unaware of the motive for the attack. Mueang Pattaya Police Station officers and rescue team rushed to the Pattaya Sai Song Road near Soi Pattaya 13 after a Thai woman, 44 year old Nattanan, notified them about the injured foreign man, who was later identified as a former US soldier, Demetri. According to the officers, the 53 year old’s face and shirt were covered in blood. He was using tissue paper to absorb the blood that kept coming out of his nose. Rescuers gave him first aid before taking him to Mueang Pattaya Hospital. The doctor later revealed that Demetri had a broken nose. The Thai woman, Nattanan, recounted the situation she witnessed to the police. She explained that she was in her massage shop in front of Soi Pattaya 13, and her employees asked her to check on the foreign man who came to the shop for help. Nattanan stated that she saw the man lose a lot of blood and immediately reported the matter to the police and rescue team. While waiting, she talked to the foreigner and learned that he had been attacked by a Thai man. by Petch Petpailin Photo via Amarin TV Full story: The Thaiger 2023-12-08 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post nausea Posted December 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2023 As always, need the other side to this story. It's a worrying precedent if guys are just lashing out for no reason (however meagre that reason might be).

Personally not seen this in the UK unprovoked but I have here. Local males can be incredibly jealous of farangs (or he may have been slighted previously or just nuts) and Pattaya is not the most convivial of places. 3 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
