webfact Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 A brutal brawl erupted on Second Road in South Pattaya in the early hours of Sunday, leaving an 18-year-old Thai boy severely injured. The shocking altercation, which took place around 5 am, saw the teenager, Thanapat Singthom, suffer a deep cut on his neck, a gash above his left eyebrow, and numerous abrasions on his body. Blood-soaked and battered, Thanapat received first aid from rescue workers before being rushed to the hospital for urgent medical care. Warat Rerkpijit, also 18 and a close friend of the victim, reported that a mob of over 50 people attacked Thanapat for reasons that remain unclear. Warat suggested that Thanapat, who was intoxicated at the time, may have been involved in an earlier confrontation, leading to the savage retaliation. Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene involving a group of teenagers on motorcycles. The skirmish escalated when one of the youths, injured, fell from his bike, sparking panic among onlookers. Concerned residents quickly notified emergency services, though the cause for the violence remains a mystery. Pattaya City Police are on the case, meticulously reviewing CCTV footage in a bid to identify and apprehend those responsible. The authorities have urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasising that public assistance is crucial in resolving the incident. This recent violence highlights ongoing safety concerns in the popular tourist destination. Local officials have been grappling with rising incidents of public disorder, and this latest episode underscores the urgent need for increased patrols and community engagement to prevent future occurrences. As Thanapat recovers in hospital, his family and friends are demanding justice and safety measures to protect residents and tourists alike. For now, South Pattaya remains on edge, hoping for swift action from law enforcement to restore peace and security.

thesetat Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 a group now rather than a gang.. It should not be difficult to spot a group of 50 riding bikes together in the middle of the night. Pattaya really needs to do something drastic to end this late night problem that seems to be getting worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoKorat Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Lads will always fight but when you let entertainment establishments open until the wee hours - expect more of this. Young males and alcohol have never mixed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danderman123 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 18 years old and out drinking at 5 am. I wonder what his parents think about that. One caveat: I would sometimes go out at 5 am when I was 18, but I was very careful, and never drunk at 5 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFETY FIRST Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) 21 hours ago, webfact said: mob of over 50 people I reckon it's an exaggeration. 21 hours ago, webfact said: -year-old Thai boy severely injured. Thai's don't discriminate if you are stupid you will get taught a lesson. I regularly read posts by members here complaining about Thai gangs attacking foreigners, I'm sure 99% of the time the foreigner was in the wrong, being drunk, foolish and stupid. Some idiots need to be taught a lesson. I'd like to see a gofundme page for these vigilante groups, I'd be a top contributor. So many times I read stories about people being a nuisance, annoying others, damaging private property and other crime, these disrespectful people need to be taught a lesson, it's obvious their parents failed....poor parenting.
