An incident of violence erupted in the early hours of March 22 near the entrance to Pattaya’s Walking Street. A foreign national was assaulted by a transgender  in full view of passersby, with the attack being caught on video by onlookers.

 

The footage shows a tall transgender woman dressed in a cream-coloured outfit and high heels aggressively confronting a foreign male tourist, estimated to be 50 years old. The man, dressed in a black t-shirt and cream trousers and carrying shopping bags, was subjected to verbal abuse before the assailant escalated to physical violence.

 

 

 

Eyewitnesses described how the attacker lost control, launching a flying kick at the tourist before chasing him and striking him repeatedly with a high-heeled shoe. The victim, who tried to walk away, was relentlessly pursued and beaten on the head and body. Despite a crowd of tourists and locals witnessing the attack, no one intervened, possibly out of fear or because the attacker was known in the area. Eventually, the assailant walked away as if nothing had happened.

 

One witness reported that the incident began on the footpath near Soi 13/4, where the transgender individual had been following and hurling insults at the tourist. The altercation escalated near a beachfront massage parlour, where heated words turned into physical assault, culminating in the victim sustaining a head injury.

 

Locals claim that such violent incidents and petty crimes frequently occur in the area, often involving groups of transgender individuals engaged in prostitution. According to one observer, conflicts sometimes arise when tourists, upon realising they are being approached by transgender individuals, try to disengage. Some attackers reportedly fabricate accusations of harassment to extort money from their targets. The same individual involved in this latest assault is believed to be part of a group linked to a similar attack on another tourist on March 17.

 

Residents and business owners in the area have urged authorities to increase security patrols to prevent further violence and clamp down on illegal activities.

 

As for the injured tourist, there has been no official report of a police complaint being filed. It is understood that he sought assistance from Pattaya’s Special Affairs Division before possibly seeking medical attention for his head injury. Authorities expect that he may file a formal complaint at a later stage.

When on earth are they going to address the issues with these freaks?

Ladyboys on the rampage again! talk about a great international family destination it's time the police do there jobs and protect tourists

[Gsxrnz]

Note to self:  Whilst carrying a supermarket bag and being assaulted by a Ladyboy, resist the temptation to maintain possession of said bag. Drop the bag and deliver a right cross. Or at least learn how to deliver a left jab.

Or use the now free hand to catch that raised kicking leg, and tip the freak on it's ass.

Do they attack people for just refusing them or did this guy insult the ladyboy?

Who knows. But I was given this tip years ago by an ageing Pattaya expat of considerable experience.

 

When a working girl or Ladyboy accosts you in the street, politely say in Thai or English "sorry, I go to eat food now". The important social/cultural aspect of eating in their culture comes to the surface and they usually jokingly respond with something like "I go also". Either way, you escape unscathed.

 

You didn't reject them out of hand - instead you made them aware of the (virtually) religious need to eat.

 

There's a reason that asking "have you eaten yet today" is an informal form of greeting in Thailand.

Round them up and jail the creatures.

Just smile, say hello, no thank you, and then off you go. 99.99% chance that nothing will happen. A lot of men, also here on this forum, react like stung by a wasp when approached, resulting in an altercation. 

 

Those who scream the loudest are often showing regressed feelings of latent homosexuality. Sonmeof the comments above clearly point in that direction (Jack45k for example)

Latent feelings of desire. You just don't realise it.

[LiamB80]

Are the police going to wait for an official complaint from the tourist before they arrest the ladyboy or will they take action and make the arrest without an official complaint like they did recently when the Swiss national had the altercation with the Thai. Double standards of justice it seems.

When city hall builds pedestrian overpasses instead of kicked back white elephant parking garages. Enforces traffic chaos. And city hall comes out with this "tourist safety" slop every other week. And no end to these creatures horror show.

Suggesting a freebie is rarely well received.

When the farangs who delight in have carnal relations with them stop coming. Like any nuisance pest, they are there because they are encouraged. If no one was purchasing their sexual services that Pattaya is known for such as Buggery, Cleveland Steamers, Rusty Trombone etc. they would go elsewhere.

The more you call it perversion, the more you prove my point. Freud would have a field day with you.

 

Many of Freud's theories have been disproven or countered. Some of his ideas were downright idiotic.

[ignore it]

Always carry a small mirror when walking in ladyboy territory. 

 

If threatened, show them the mirror. 

 

 A flash image of themselves in the mirror causes them to immediately begin primping and you can make your escape
