A 27-year-old transgender woman has filed a police report after a foreign man allegedly insulted, mocked, and punched her to the ground before fleeing on a motorbike. The incident occurred at Pattaya Beach, where many tourists were present.

 

The case gained attention after a popular social media page issued a warning and shared images and video footage of the attack. The victim, known as "A" (a pseudonym), stated that the confrontation began when the foreigner approached her on the beach, making derogatory remarks and mocking her in front of tourists. Feeling humiliated, she confronted the man and asked him to leave.

 

Despite the initial encounter, the foreigner returned and attempted unsuccessfully to pay nearby transgender individuals to assault A. After he walked away towards a nearby public toilet, she followed, demanding an apology and intending to report him to the police. Instead, the foreigner allegedly punched her, causing injuries, and left on a motorcycle while laughing.

Following the attack, A gathered CCTV evidence and witness testimonies to report the incident to Pattaya City Police. She remarked that the man's actions were disrespectful to Thai people and showed a disregard for the country's laws, which might encourage other foreigners to act similarly with impunity.

 

A also revealed that friends in her circle had faced similar incidents involving foreigners but were too afraid to report them. She is determined to stand up for the dignity of Thai people and emphasised that unchecked behaviour like this can harm Thailand’s image and impact the safety of both locals and tourists.

 

She urged the police to swiftly apprehend the suspect according to the law and advised both tourists and locals enjoying nightlife to remain vigilant, as not all visitors have good intentions, reported Channel 7.

....what laws? 🤔

[KhunLA]

"she confronted the man and asked him to leave"  ... can't ask someone to leave a public area.

 

"After he walked away towards a nearby public toilet, she followed" ... could have avoided further issues, if he didn't follow him.

 

Oh well ... such drama

Attack on transgender woman by foreign man rocks Pattaya Beach

A 27 year old transgender woman was subjected to a brutal attack by a foreign man in a shocking incident that has sent ripples through Pattaya Beach.

 

The brazen assault on the transgender woman, Ms A, left her injured and humiliated in broad daylight, as the thug casually sped off on a motorcycle, laughing in her face.

 

The incident, flagged by popular social media page Jay Moi V+, unfolded today, January 7, leaving both locals and tourists at Pattaya Beach area stunned. Accompanying the post were damning images and a video clip capturing the unnerving episode.

 

Ms A recounted the harrowing experience: while minding her own business at Pattaya Beach, a foreign man approached her, hurling insults and mocking her in front of a crowd of onlookers.

The barrage of abuse left her no choice but to confront him, demanding he leave. But the foreigner had other plans. He attempted to enlist a nearby transgender woman to do his dirty work but she refused to aid his cruel antics.

Undeterred, the man swaggered off towards the public restrooms between Soi 13/3 and 13/4 Beach Road. Determined to seek justice, Ms. A followed him, intending to get an apology and involve the police. Instead, she was met with a vicious punch that sent her crashing to the ground.

 

As if on cue, the perpetrator erupted into laughter before making his getaway on a motorcycle.

Ms A gathered evidence from nearby CCTV cameras and witnesses to support her case with the Pattaya City Police.

 

She expressed her outrage, condemning the foreigner’s disrespect towards her and to Thais in general. The flagrant defiance of local laws, she warned, could embolden other foreigners to engage in similar acts of violence.

Ms A revealed that similar assaults on her friends by foreign men had gone unreported, driven by fear and a reluctance to confront the police. She stressed that allowing such behaviour to go unpunished would tarnish Thailand’s image and compromise the safety of both locals and tourists.

Don't know what the problem is, just a couple of lads having a bit of a tare up... boys will be boys

What nationality were the attackers?  Some nationals are more homophobic than others and assaulting non heterosexuals is seen as just and good fun too.  An openly gay European friend was attacked by masked Russians on Koh Phangan a few years ago and FB posts lamented that the victim survived (he spent a week in hospital and nearly lost an eye) .

 

Thailand's acceptance of all variations of genders is a breath of fresh air compared to the current position in the US.  There, attacks on non heterosexual persons is being weaponized to breed hate, fear and contempt for political ends.

 

There is no room for casual (or any) violence in a civilized society.🙏

Pity that he failed to mention that no trannies on the game have good intentions, either.

[Screaming]

To some cultures and religions, pretending to be a woman is highly offensive. As Thailand tries to attract diverse tourism to its country, it should realize that not all Thai behavior is normal to these tourists.

[wombat]

Ladyboys is the term to use in Thailand. 

Please do not disrespect the ladyboys of Thailand by misgendering them as transgender.

Where did she say or stand in the article that ladyboys do not have a bad reputation? She meant that the foreigner actions, could result in an addition to the bad image that has contributions from many sources.

Why show an unrelated photo of Soi 6 which has almost no transgenders?

 

The attack happened on Beach Rd apparently far down south from where Soi 6 is.

Ladyboys or transvestites please, do not pander to the transgender fantasy, let them do that.

Shocked and stunned ! Pattaya has a 'public toilet' ! ?

I agree with you,. I approve of the word, transgender woman or lady boy because that is a classification itself that is explanatory.

 

do not agree with the west attempting to state that a transgender woman is an actual woman and that it’s inappropriate to use the correct adjectives in front of the word woman when you speak about them.

 

There’s nothing wrong with people being people, but it gets ridiculous when they’re trying to remove labels and state that they are one in the same.

They would disagree, but regardless, it is still illegal to assault people.

It's not the headline that is the problem.  Anyone that has been in Pattaya more than a week knows that the description of what happened is nowhere close to what actually happened.

Any mention of gender, and it's worth recalling that everything, animate and inanimate, in all European languages, English being the exception, has a gender. And they by no means agree about the sex of a stone, for instance. Masculine in German, feminine in French. Except some additional words for stone are the opposite. So, what's it all about, Alfie? Take a walk on the wild side! Girls or boys? Oh yes.

When farangs get assaulted by locals nothing usually happens...

 

Are you talking about the laws that are selectively applied???
