A late-night altercation in Pattaya turned violent when a Chinese restaurant worker allegedly attacked a 24-year-old Cambodian man, Hin, with a knife, seriously injuring him. The dispute reportedly began when Hin blew cigarette smoke in the suspect’s face despite warnings. Enraged, the attacker slashed him in the left shoulder, leaving him critically wounded. Police arrested the suspect, who remained at the scene and brazenly admitted to the attack, flashing a peace sign to reporters. He is now in custody at Pattaya City Police Station, facing serious assault charges. The incident highlights concerns over alcohol-fueled violence in Pattaya’s nightlife.
