Pakistani vendors in Pattaya attack tourist for refusing their products

[webfact]

Pakistani vendors at Pattaya Night Bazaar brutally attacked a fellow countryman last night, leaving him unconscious after he refused to buy their herbal products.

 

A Thai witness, Mit, and his friend shared a video of the unconscious Pakistani victim, Muhammad Abdullah, yesterday, October 28, on social media to seek justice for him. The video showed Abdullah lying on the ground outside a shop named Arab Natural Herbal, owned by Pakistani men.

 

Channel 3 reported that the shop sells herbal hair care products, weight loss products, skincare items, and remedies for muscle pain.

 

Mit informed the media that he spoke with the Pakistani victim once he regained consciousness. Abdullah explained that the shop’s workers attempted to sell him their products but he declined to buy them.

The vendors persisted, which prompted Abdullah to record a video of their behaviour. This act angered the vendors, leading them to gang up and assault Abdullah until he passed out.

 

Mit revealed that similar incidents occurred multiple times before, particularly involving foreign tourists from Arab countries who refused to buy herbal products.

 

A resident, Man, told Channel 3 that the Pakistani vendors assaulted visitors who rejected their products on numerous occasions. In addition to standing outside the shop and offering products, the group reportedly went to various beaches to market their goods.

 

Abdullah reportedly filed a complaint against the attackers at Mueang Pattaya Police Station but the police have not yet apprehended the relevant suspects. The shop has remained closed since the incident.

 

Officers from Mueang Pattaya Tourist Police revealed that multiple Pakistani vendors had been previously arrested for offering overpriced herbal products to other foreigners. Despite these arrests, the vendors continue to repeat their criminal actions.

 

In a related report, police raided three herbal product stores in Pattaya, owned by foreign nationals, in August for selling overpriced products and making exaggerated claims about their benefits.

 

Five foreigners were arrested during the raid. Four of them allegedly persuaded tourists to purchase substandard products, while another was found working without a permit.

[kingstonkid]

It boggles my mind the number of Indian and Pakistani shops that are open and sellilng things. How does a stall have enough thai people working to allow a foreigner to work there?

 

At lesat the bars can use the Thai bar girls as their reason LOL

Now I understand why these muslins are so ugly.

I suggest Thailand take a closer look at what kind of people they want coming. It seems that there are a few nationalities that always get the attention in the wrong way. I wonder why...🙄

The presence of Indians in Uganda was the result of deliberate choices by the British administration that ruled Uganda from 1894 to 1962.^[8] They were brought to the Uganda Protectorate by the British to "serve as a buffer between Europeans and Africans in the middle rungs of commerce and administration".^[6] In addition, in the 1890s, 32,000 labourers from British Indians were brought to Southeast Africa under indentured labour contracts to work on the construction of the Uganda Railway.^[9] Most of the surviving Indians returned home, but 6,724 individuals decided to remain in the African Great Lakes after the line's completion.^[10]

I also wonder how they got their work permits. In Bangkok in the MBK shopping center on the ground floor, almost all of the sellers in the handbag, shoe and clothing stores who sell the counterfeit branded goods are 100% non-Thai. The same applies on the 4th floor with all the little cell phone sellers' shops.

your typical Thai has the " mai pen rai" mentality. as long as their personal lives aren't affected, they're usually oblivious on their surroundings. 

[Hanuman2547]

I'm surprised that they named the shop.  Usually they never identify the shop by name.  Perhaps because it is foreign owned and managed?

More the fact that there is a list of reserved occupations, like giving legal advice, or being a tour guide and many more. Not sure if hawking these herbal treatments for various medical issues is one of them. 

Perhaps the sellers were offering them at knock down prices!

[Kinok Farang]

Big deal.One down.

I buy all my supplements and medical supplies from dodgy Pakis tanis.
