In a startling incident that shook the quiet streets of Pattaya last night, a Japanese tourist, later identified as Mr. Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi, unleashed mayhem following an alleged altercation with his girlfriend.

 

At approximately 9:30 PM, local authorities were alerted to a disturbance involving a vehicle ramming into objects and other cars along Soi Bua Khao, a popular night-time locale.

 

Eyewitnesses say the ordeal began outside an entertainment spot where Yamaguchi and his girlfriend were reportedly embroiled in a heated argument.

 

The dispute escalated rapidly when Yamaguchi, apparently enraged, got into his white Toyota Altis and deliberately drove into the establishment, reversing repeatedly into the structure. The scene turned even more chaotic as he proceeded to target nearby vehicles, causing substantial damage.

 

Local patrons and tourists scattered in panic as the car zigzagged down the street, colliding with motorcycles and side stalls. Quick thinking by some bystanders averted potential injuries. One local guard attempted to intervene, narrowly escaping as he dodged the errant vehicle, suffering minor cuts in the process.

 

The rampage drew to a halt after Yamaguchi's sedan careened into a parked tour bus, which prevented any further advancement.

 

Courageous locals managed to subdue the driver until the police arrived. Preliminary assessments by police suggest that the driver might have been influenced by substances other than alcohol, contributing to his erratic behavior.

 

Rescue teams were quick to respond, offering first aid before transporting Yamaguchi to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. The Pattaya City Police, under the direction of Deputy Inspector R.T.O. Itthiphon Tangchuthawisap, have taken Yamaguchi into custody.

 

They are coordinating with Japanese consular officials to further investigate the incident and support the ensuing legal processes.

 

This unexpected outbreak of violence has rattled the Pattaya community, sparking discussions on tourist safety and the adequacy of current measures to manage public disturbances.

 

As the case unfolds, local authorities are urging witnesses and those affected to come forward to assist with the ongoing investigation.

Japanese tourist rampage leaves trail of destruction in Pattaya

A Japanese tourist, in a fit of rage from an argument, drove his car into a popular Pattaya restaurant, crashing into numerous cars and motorcycles before finally colliding with a tour bus. This incident yesterday, July 10, left him injured and in police custody.

 

Police Lieutenant Colonel Itthiporn Tangchuthaweesap of Pattaya City Police Station reported that they received a distress call at 9.36pm. A foreign man was reportedly driving erratically, damaging vehicles and property on Bua Khao Road in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri.

 

The chaos unfolded in front of a well-known entertainment venue where tables, chairs, and motorcycles were found toppled and damaged. Tourists and employees were visibly shaken.

 

The perpetrator, a 60 year old Japanese tourist, was driving a white Toyota. He rampaged through Bua Khao Road to South Pattaya, hitting cars and motorcycles along the way.

The entertainment venue security guard, 27 year old Somporn, revealed that the foreigner had an argument with his girlfriend, a staff member at the restaurant. In his fury, the man drove into the front of the restaurant, reversing and ramming three times, causing significant property damage. He then fled, sideswiping moving and parked vehicles. Somporn recounted the events.

 

“We tried to follow and stop him but he wouldn’t stop. He kept trying to run us over. I was lucky to escape with minor injuries, needing six stitches on my finger and some abrasions. My colleague was also injured.

 

“The perpetrator’s car eventually lost control and hit a tour bus, rendering it immobile. We quickly seized the car keys and pulled him out.”

 

Drug use

 

Somporn added that the man apologised, and he suspected drug use rather than alcohol intoxication. Fortunately, no one sustained severe injuries or fatalities during the incident.

 

Rescue personnel provided initial medical aid to the tourist before transporting him to the hospital under police supervision.

 

An employee of a nearby shop, 43 year old Jaruda, described the terrifying moment when the foreigner repeatedly attempted to align his car before accelerating into the restaurant where his girlfriend worked.

 

“I feared he would crash into our shop. We tried to move our vehicles but couldn’t in time, so we ran to save ourselves… I even threw a bottle at him to stop him.”

 

Jaruda mentioned that the staff did not take his threats seriously, which led to the disastrous outcome.

 

Lieutenant Colonel Itthiporn has summoned all parties involved, including the Japanese man, to the Pattaya City Police Station for an investigation and to press charges accordingly, reported KhaoSod.

Many , many times there is a  ' girl friend ' involved somehow when men just lose their temper ...

Many men just do not know how to behave when confronted with irrational behavior of a female companion ...

When she turns nuts , just leave , run ... come back later after she cooled down ... but refrain from violence in any case .

Japanese men can get real angry when they snap. Almost like a kamikazee state. They act real calm usually, but it reverts. I think there are many suicides in japan where guys snap or go into these extreme depression episodes.
