An American tourist suffered a head injury during a robbery allegedly carried out by two transgender individuals in Pattaya. The victim, who sustained a wound to the head, filed a police report early morning on 15 July.

 

At approximately 05:05, the injured tourist, whose name was not disclosed, arrived at Pattaya City Police Station to report the incident to Police Lieutenant Chanant Kesaornbua, the duty investigation officer. The man claimed he had been robbed of 3,000 baht in cash and attacked with a bottle by one of the assailants.

 

The incident took place in Soi Pattaya 6/1, located off Pattaya Beach Road, Chonburi province. According to the victim’s account, he was walking through the alley when two provocatively dressed transgender individuals approached him and offered sexual services.

 

While distracting him with physical contact, the suspects allegedly reached into his trouser pocket and stole the cash. Realising he had been pickpocketed, the tourist confronted them and demanded his money back, which quickly escalated into a heated argument.

 

One of the suspects then reportedly struck the man on the head with a glass bottle before both fled the scene. The injured tourist managed to seek help from a good Samaritan nearby, who assisted him in reaching the police station.

 

Lieutenant Chanant confirmed that the police have launched an investigation. A team of detectives has been dispatched to examine the crime scene and review local CCTV footage in an effort to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.

Most guys probably just go back to their room and lick their wounds and learn from their error.

I don't think I would at 0500 either. 

I heard from a friend that Soi is a rough place !

Soi 6/1 is a bit creepy.

It's a super narrow soi and they are waiting there to pounce on you.

Unless that's what you want ...  

 

I hope the backside wasn’t injured.
