On the evening of September 15, Soi Buakhao in Central Pattaya was the scene of a shocking and violent altercation between two inebriated Australian tourists. This confrontation, which unfolded in front of a stunned crowd, underscores the growing problem of public disorder in the area.

 

The fracas erupted between the two men, both heavily intoxicated, one of whom claimed to be a police officer while flashing a badge. This dubious assertion did nothing to quell the situation. Instead, it highlighted a disturbing trend of disorderly behaviour among some tourists, undermining local authority.

 

By the time the local police arrived, the situation had escalated with the two men resistant to any attempts to restore calm. Officers struggled for over 30 minutes to control the belligerent tourists, showcasing the challenges of maintaining public safety amid such volatile incidents.

Local residents and bystanders proved instrumental in eventually separating the fighting men. However, the scene took an even darker turn when one of the tourists launched into a tirade of profanities directed at the police.

 

The incident paints a broader picture of some visitors' reckless behaviour and their blatant disrespect for local laws and enforcement.

 

Eyewitnesses noted that the two men had been drinking together earlier in the evening, indicating a prior relationship that devolved into conflict. Strikingly, neither party chose to press charges, reflecting an unsettling acceptance of such brawls as typical rather than criminal.

 

Residents have expressed concern over the increasing frequency of such disturbances. “This is becoming a regular occurrence,” one local commented. “It raises serious questions about the effectiveness of local law enforcement in managing public order.”

 

As these incidents become more common, it's clear that Pattaya faces significant challenges in addressing the root causes of this rampant disorder. Without meaningful intervention, the city’s reputation risk becoming synonymous with such disruptive behaviour, overshadowing its appeal as a holiday destination, reported Pattaya Mail.

arsholes, I hope the police deal with it in a costly manner

animals ... why do drunk people quite often get aggressive ... shame on them, no country needs them ...

Two guys get drunk, they start fighting.

 

Two guys get stoned, they become Simon & Garfunkel.

Storm in a teacup; nobody else got hurt.

Some alcoholics experience radical Jekyll/Hyde personality changes when they drink. 

I thought Pattaya was supposed to be a family destination where I can bring my children? 

A very descriptive and detailed analysis I must say. 

 

Two idiots that can't handle their booze,  then get into fisty cuffs with each other. 

Well,   at least they didn't have a gun or machete under the motorbike seat as normally happens.

 

Cancel their visa and drive them to the airport ....   

It didn't appear full on nevertheless if the MIB has a tazer or two problem solved extremely quickly and efficiently. Not to mention entertaining the bystanders watching the 2 men impersonating a geriatric break dancer!

The Thai Police reall, really need to have Tasers. I've seen them used on deserving souls and it was quite enjoyable. And, once the barbs are in, additonal voltage can be administered, as needed.

Thanks.

 

Your post reminded me of this great music:

 

Then I learned to play some lead guitar
I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
And when I come back to the room
Everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
And it was late in the evening
And I blew that room away

95% of party people would have been upset and disturbed by unpleasant, violent fighting in public.

That's how the drug works, altering your brain.

Ha ha ha 

 

Typical soi Buakhou relationship between foreigners 

 

See it so many times, lonely foreigners looking for friends, they get on the drink together, talking bull<deleted> and a fight starts, it's hilarious 🤣

 

Stick to talking with the bar girls guys, it's a healthier option.

Yes, this happens occasionally, common amongst family members. 

 

Seriously....it's easy to see how Thais here look down on a certain breed of foreigner. 

Absolutely  disgusting behaviour by low life scumbags.

not me silly,    I mean the Thai's in many villages,  they get on the Lao Khao then argue then shoot each other.  

As someone who knows Thailand I can confidently say a minor brawl is not 'shocking' any locals. Entertaining people, possibly, disappointing people, maybe, but a small 1v1 fight where no one is killed is not shocking anyone, apart from from some sheltered Westerners and sheltered East Asians perhaps. The indignant charade needs to stop people. You're not in Singapore or Switzerland.
