A Swedish national has filed a police report following a shocking and brutal assault in central Pattaya, leaving him with blood streaming down his face and injuries. The incident occurred late night on 28 June, in Soi Buakhao, a popular area for nightlife and bars.

 

According to police at Pattaya City Police Station, the man and a male friend arrived at the station visibly shaken and covered in blood. The victim claimed that he had first been attacked by his Thai girlfriend during a heated argument. The situation escalated when it was claimed a group of over ten unidentified Thai men appeared and violently set upon him in the street.

 

“I don’t know who those men were or why they attacked me,” the victim said, visibly distressed and exhausted. “I was completely defenceless. I came here to relax, not to be beaten in the middle of the street.”

 

 

Images shared on social media and by local witnesses show the Swedish man with injuries to his face and head, sparking a wave of concern among locals and tourists alike.

 

“This is supposed to be a city of smiles,” one comment read. “Now it’s a city of tears and blood.”

 

The incident has raised serious questions about safety in Pattaya, a city that relies heavily on tourism for its economy. Concerns are mounting over increasing levels of street violence and the adequacy of law enforcement response in such cases.

 

Police have confirmed they are urgently reviewing CCTV footage from the area in an attempt to identify the group of attackers and bring them to justice.

 

Authorities are appealing to witnesses to come forward with any information, while also promising swift action to reassure both residents and tourists.

 

“This kind of violence is unacceptable,” a police spokesperson said. “We are doing everything possible to identify the culprits and ensure that Pattaya remains a safe destination for all visitors.”

Well, he did something to trigger that.

 

He's not telling the full story.

 

For obvious reasons.

I suspect that the nature of his relationship with "his girlfriend" will be the key to this story.  Not to mention the nature of the GF him/herself.

 

Not hard to imagine he was a fairly random victim who just didn't give up the cash...  But that's just a guess.  Like every other proposed scenario.

 

Maybe he failed to donate money for Grandmothers sick buffalo

Gottfrid is a bit quiet today, 🤫 

If ten attacked him in the street I will assume he got physical with her first.

I will also assume that his girlfriend’s occupation involves selling her body to foreign tourists. Most of them are unhinged to a certain extent.

 

I will also assume he probably deserved it. A lot of these Pattaya whoremongers have bad attitudes.

 

I will also assume that the exact number of white knights wasn't ten.

Soi Buakhao- popular area for sex tourists and prostitution would be more accurate, the occasional beating seems to be part of that culture.

Exactly spot on. Thais don't beat a man up over price. 

 

He must have done something. Especially for 10 guys to have a go at him.

 

 

A normal day in the family oriented city of Pattaya

Asians love to kick. 

Stand up & fight like a man.

It's easy if they take it serious.

The "blondie" who prepared him for the mob to add their kicks is 100% from the area.

One of the late kickers looks like one of the quality security guards (Treetown style).

The guy does not fight back, all seems over but no, one bastard gives him another kick.

Blondie with the unique hairstyle, initiator:

 

After watching the video it looks like 4 men at most and the blonde girlfriend who was screaming at him “Why did you do that to me?” 
 

Blondie delivered the most blows and kicks.

 

I hope the Swede has learned a valuable lesson.

 
Other farangs on the scene did nothing.

No smoke no fire...she kept saying what's <deleted>...why you do this to me...

The Asians were standing up.

Only the Swede went down on his knees which is when Blondie came in for round 2 and gave him a few more.

You come for the smiles, you stay for the submissive women.

Stand up & fight like a man means 'use your fists!' Don't kick like a coward and then back away. 

Pattaya has truly become a city of tears and is likely the most desolate and desperate city in all of Thailand. To compound that a single and lonely friend of mine who is in Pattaya strictly for the action is telling me the prices have doubled in the past 2 years and the vast majority are fat, old and ugly. And the young and pretty ones are asking stupid money. What can one even say? The one thing that made the place  appealing to those in the market, is now pretty much off the charts. Unless you like fat, old or unattractive. 

It's sport for the Thais

And TAT is still thinking why is tourism dropping like a meteor.

I wasn't actually referring to this video, just most Thai guys generally.  

Unsettling video. 

No matter what the Swedish guy has done , kicks to the head are attempted murder.

Yeah but I dont sense any hostility from them. If you keep your nose clean and stay out of trouble, they leave you alone. 

But yeah, the minute you step out of line, the gloves are off. 

 

Pattaya especially can be a dangerous place where you can get yourself killed. Because guys are getting involved with bar girls with shady friends and shady morals. And what happens when you stop giving them money?

Ah the entitled American is back.

The girls can charge what they want, it is up to them, take it or leave it.

Or do think the government should come in and enforce cheaper sex for you friend?

 

And a diet and exercise routine for the hookers?

So what did he do? Cheated on her? 

 

 

Even if the police apprehend the 10 guys, what will be the outcome?

A slap on wrist and don't do it again?
