Pattaya Beach Attack: Drunk Security Guard Assaults Transwoman

A drunken off-duty security guard allegedly assaulted a transgender woman, Malata, on Pattaya Beach by smashing a beer bottle over her head, leaving her hospitalised. The incident occurred on March 31 and was witnessed by shocked tourists. Police detained the guard, 42-year-old Wasan, and another man, Weerawat, at the scene. Eyewitnesses claim the group had verbally taunted Malata before the attack. Video footage captured by a bystander is now key evidence. Police are awaiting Malata’s recovery to proceed with formal charges, pledging action under Thai law following the investigation.
