Foreign Tourist Assaults Bar Staff & Women in Pattaya Soi 6, Knocked Down in Viral Brawl

A drunken incident by a foreign tourist ended in swift retribution after he assaulted a female bar worker and mocked Muay Thai, only to be knocked down by a bouncer and then roughed up by a furious crowd. The incident, which occurred late on 15 April, has since gone viral on social media and sparked widespread debate about tourist behaviour in Thailand.

 

According to police reports and multiple eyewitness accounts, the tourist, accompanied by another intoxicated foreigner, entered a Pattaya bar, in Soi 6 and began behaving aggressively. The man was seen groping a female staff member and lifting her off the ground, causing her head to strike an air-conditioning unit. Another employee, a newly hired female server, was also reportedly harassed and has since refused to return to work.

 

 

The bar’s two security guards, identified as “Non”, 36, and “Nick”, 37, attempted to defuse the situation and escort the men out of the venue. The manager, a woman named “Phrae”, 37, also stepped in to calm things down. Despite these efforts, the tourists continued to harass customers and staff, ultimately pouring beer over a guard’s head in a provocative act.

 

Matters escalated when the disruptive foreigner began challenging people to a Muay Thai fight, further taunting the guards and patrons. It was at this point that one of the bouncers lost patience and delivered a single punch to the man’s face, knocking him off his feet. Bystanders, both Thai nationals and other foreigners, then joined in, delivering additional blows as the man lay stunned on the ground.

 

Police were called, and the incident is now under investigation by officers at Pattaya City Police Station. Deputy Inspector Pol. Lt. Arut Saphanon confirmed that CCTV footage has been reviewed and statements have been taken from the bar’s staff. The foreign nationals involved have yet to file a formal complaint or report to authorities.

 

The bar has voluntarily closed its doors temporarily as a gesture of accountability and to allow for a thorough investigation. Local officials, including Bang Lamung district officers, have visited the premises and praised the venue’s cooperation.

 

In a statement, the security guards expressed regret that the situation escalated to violence but asked for public understanding, citing the extreme provocation they faced. “We tried everything to avoid a confrontation,” one said. “But after the assault and continued harassment, we had to protect ourselves and others.”

Kudos to the idiot for saving someone from that line of work.

 

Who the hell goes out in public with no shirt on?  He deserved to be decked just for that.

The fact that he was knocked down so easily shows that he was heavily intoxicated.

 

And the security guards usually dish out harsher beatings. Looks like they're easing up. 

 

And it's the first time I see another foreigner actually taking part in a group beating of a foreigner. 

 

Drinking is bad news. Makes you act stupid and aggressive and you can't even defend yourself.

Only stupid people act stupid. Alcohol enhances your personality. A tool becomes a bigger tool.

Maybe because they are one of the places they sell alcohol and you are invited to sit down.

Im a well traained kung fu person.11 years.What would i do? Just walk away if I meet a person like this

[Gecko123]

Maybe I've been here too long, but seems like a very efficient way to neutralize problems of this nature. Hopefully video goes viral and will serve to discourage other blowhard wannabe tough guys.

 

I also think that cannabis tourism has played a significant role in attracting more lower quality and culturally disrespectful tourists with an "anything goes in Thailand" mentality.

I know you aren't specifically addressing this guy as a weed user but I don't think weed users tend to get belligerent.

You may have a point about legal weed promoting the idea that "anything goes".

go ahead and be in denial that bars in general along with girlie bars doesn't attract lower quality individuals.
