The combination of sh*t-faced drunk and out late at night alone could prove fatal in many cities in the world. In my working years, I lived in, worked in or visited many, many cities across the globe.  The nine years I lived in Pattaya as a retired person were among the safest I experienced anywhere.  I don't think being drunk, even sh*t-faced, is enough in and of itself to get you in trouble in Pattaya.  A drunk tourist or expat, whatever his nationality, will have to pick a fight with someone for things to turn violent.  Exceptions may exist, but they are rare, very rare.

Mmmm.i realise your near 80 and probably suffering memory loss but I do recall a few months ago a man of similar age to yourself out jogging and was attacked

Both men, technicians working at a South Pattaya entertainment venue, admitted to assaulting the tourist but alleged they acted in self-defense after the Briton became aggressive.

Technicians..?

That's a typically moronic viewpoint - from a typical Brit hater.

May I also say that I hope the same happens to you and that you post the event on here, including pictures.

You'll probably provoke somebody into doing the same to as well, thereby deserving such a beating, yes?

And we can gloat just like you over your misfortune.

You are probably a wrongun who gets into this kind of trouble and blames everyone else but you

Sorry, but in my opinion, rightly or wrongly , if the man was injured they had a obligation to report it , call the police and ensure the man did not need hospital care. If he had died it could have been far worse.

[save the frogs]

getting sh*t-faced is stooooopid.

 

it makes you act crazy + you can't defend yourself. 

 

he's lucky he's still alive.

Or to shine a different light on the matter, how about -
 

they offered him a lift and he put the hard word on the boys for sex.

They fought back kicked him out of the van.

 

I am not saying that is what happened, but it's another way of looking at it.

 

You obviously speaking from experience perhaps

That would be the most logical explanation.

As in any country best not to be out and about when totally inebriated.

As I stated,  rare exceptions to the rule do occur.

More like two nightclub doormen offered him a lift home, they saw how drunk he was and tried to rob him once he was inside their pickup when that didn’t work out they both set about him and threw him out of their truck, all this Good Samaritan <deleted>e is just a fabrication

Two sides to this story for sure.

A British tourist, too drunk to get into a taxi, ended up in a fistfight with two Good Samaritans who volunteered to drive him home in the early hours of Tuesday in this eastern seaside tourist town.

Muang Pattaya police and rescue volunteers were called to Pattaya Sai 3 Road in tambon Nong Pruea of Bang Lamung district at about 3am, where they found a man aged about 55-65 sitting on the pavement. He had sustained a broken nose, a bruised left eye, bleeding on his face and some scratches on his body. 

Rescuers provided first aid before sending him to a hospital. A witness identified only as Rattapon, a 41-year-old police volunteer, reported seeing a white pickup truck pull over and a Thai man drag the Briton out. Other witnesses tried to ask him what happened but received little information due to his intoxicated state. 

 

The men, who are technicians at a night entertainment venue in South Pattaya, admitted to assaulting the Briton but claimed he had attacked them first and struck their pickup truck. 

 

Police said they would check footage from security cameras around the area where the incident took place and question both parties to ensure fairness. 

According to Mr Manuchchai, the Briton was drinking and appeared intoxicated at a bar on Soi Bua Khao. When he attempted to get a taxi home, no drivers were willing to take him. Moved by pity, he and his friend volunteered to drive him, but the passenger became loud, aggressive and tried to attack them. 

"We tried to calm him down, but he refused to listen and forced us to turn into the wrong lane," Mr Manuchchai said. "When we pulled over, he struck our truck, causing damage." 

"He started a fistfight with us. We had to leave him on the roadside. Things escalated, and we traded punches, with both sides getting injured. After the incident, we drove away, not expecting that the police would be looking for us. We want to assert our innocence. We were attacked first despite our good intentions to take him home."

This incoherently drunk farang senior citizen has almost certainly been making poor life choices since before the two Thai men were even born.  Burden of proof is on him.

Pattaya police are investigating a violent assault on a British tourist, which occurred on Pattaya Third Road in the South Pattaya area, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District.

 

Upon receiving the report, officers from the Pattaya City Police Station coordinated with rescue volunteers from Sawang Boriboon Foundation to respond to the scene.

 

The victim was found intoxicated and suffering from multiple injuries, including a broken nose, a bruised left eye socket, and facial bleeding. Scratches and abrasions were also observed on his body. Rescue personnel provided first aid before rushing him to the hospital for urgent care.

 

 

Eyewitness Rattaphon Rodson, 41, a community police volunteer, stated that he saw a white pickup truck, make and model unknown, dropping the injured man onto the roadside. A Thai male was seen leaving the vehicle. The exact cause of the attack remains unclear.

 

Other witnesses reported that the victim may have been traveling in a taxi, possibly a ride-hailing service like Bolt. However, due to the victim’s inebriated state, he was unable to provide coherent details about the incident.

 

Police are now reviewing CCTV footage from the area and along potential escape routes. Authorities are working to identify the perpetrator and ascertain the motive behind the assault. Should the suspect be identified, legal proceedings will follow.

 

The investigation remains ongoing.

I would exclude is was an assault of racism. So this nice species of drunk Brit caused an reaction of his bad behaviour I presume. 😂👍

[bkk6060]

So drunk he cannot even tell the cops what Happened?

What a total tool fool.

Let’s be honest, a Brit got punched out by a Thai. That’s what the story says anyway.

No it says an elderly <deleted>-faced Brit got battered by two Thais (who have since turned themselves in) when they were trying to help him.

High Season is here. I forecast 4 or 5 months of our fellow countrymen making us ashamed and embarrassed.

A drunk Brit? Go figure, lol

I have an idea here. Maybe he was ignorant and arrogant against the wrong person. I don´t think he got beaten up totally without reason. Maybe he called people bigots and implied that they were less smart and had a basic intellect. Is that you, Richard? 😂

[Expat Tom]

Noting good EVER comes from excessive drinking. I wonder if some of the people who get drunk and behave badly in Thailand do the same in their own country?

My thoughts exactly.

 

Arrogant, rude, mouthy, entitled, thinking everyone else is below them, can’t handle a drink and finally come unstuck and taught some manners the hard way.

I would disagree with that. It can be a lot of fun if you know how to behave.
