A late-night brawl between two groups of Thai women in Pattaya's bustling nightlife district depicts the fierce rivalry for foreign patrons.

 

The 42-second video now viral on social media captures six women tussling on the vibrant yet notorious Walking Street, unsettling international tourists who witnessed the quarrel.

 

Security staff from nearby venues stepped in to separate the sparring parties as the early morning row unfolded.

 

The incident reportedly erupted at approximately 5:00 AM on May 14 and prompted a swift response from Pattaya City Police.

 

Officers swiftly arrived at the scene, escorting the feuding groups to engage with Police Lieutenant Colonel Thanongsak Inphadung for preliminary questioning.

 

Initial inquiries indicate that the scuffle was primarily triggered by customer competition, further inflamed by alcohol use, laying bare the cutthroat business environment of the area.

 

Despite attempts to mediate, no resolution was achieved, leading the police to proceed with legal action after conducting necessary examinations.

 

This confrontation throws a spotlight on Pattaya's deeply entrenched and widely recognized sex industry, despite official denials.

 

Services in the city remain openly available, with periodic law enforcement raids purportedly to protect the city’s family-friendly image, yet the illusion persists that “Pattaya has no prostitutes.”

 

Amidst this reality, sex workers have been calling for legal recognition and protection since 2003. Their appeals for social benefits and legal rights align with Thailand’s progressive steps, including the recent equal marriage law, granting momentum to their cause.

 

Historically emerging during the Vietnam War era, Pattaya's sex industry continues to operate outside the law, leaving workers without essential benefits and exposing them to precarious socio-economic conditions.

I often wonder if it would be best to pick the winner, or the loser, in such circumstances.

Sometimes more cushion for the pushing is the way to go

Are the girls free-lancers or bar workers? I thought there was a shut-down time earlier than 5am?

Some would say the law operates within the sex industry.

[Jack Hammer]

Maybe some poor delusional guy will ask one those ladies to go back to his country and get married.  I would really like to know the success rate on relationships on guys who have married bar girls, F/L prostitutes or ladies involved in the sex trade in some way.    Please comment if your relationship is successful

These kind of badly written articles are BS and BRING THIS FORUM INTO DISREPUTE.

I hate to see women fight.

(Unless it's in mud, of course)

[Gobbler]

Every one of them is a class act. 

 

Thai culture at its finest.

[Magictoad]

The losers are the people who actually read these articles, not the girls fighting.

[Magictoad]

This kind of article degrades the forum

[edwinchester]

Definitely need to improve their ground & pound judging by the above clip.

I wonder if this will be one of the locations where the one thousand Chinese delegation will be taken, and told that Thailand is a safe and family friendly destination
