A ladyboy was seriously injured during an attack on Pattaya Beach this morning, January 21. The incident, occurring around 1:50 a.m., involved an unidentified man who used a broken glass bottle as a weapon. Pattaya City Police responded to the scene, finding a group of distressed ladyboys, with 22-year-old Sila from Khon Kaen province suffering from a severe hand injury.

Sila and her friends were allegedly approached by a muscular man of unknown nationality who questioned why they were on the beach. They informed him they were working as companions, leading to discussions about entertainment fees. Unable to agree, the man left but soon returned carrying a wooden stick and began to chase and threaten them.

The assailant reportedly smashed a bottle, creating a makeshift weapon, and slashed Sila's hand before fleeing. Rescue workers provided first aid and transported Sila to a hospital for treatment. Meanwhile, police have initiated a search, gathering witness statements and reviewing CCTV footage as part of their investigation.

Authorities assured that once apprehended, the suspect would face legal action. This incident occurred after a similar confrontation on January 9, when a brawl on Pattaya Beach ended with a stabbing, reported The Thaiger.

The idiot probably got upset at himself when he realized that those chicks were men and decided to take it out on the poor fella.

not enough information to determine the motive for the attack.

That one was actually a plausible ladyboy

I'd like to hear the other side of this one. Ladyboys are notorious for their uncivilised actions late at night, especially on the beach. Maybe the poor darling attacked the guy with a broken bottle and she came off second best. He was alone and have enough sense to scarp it, whereas the ladyboy in question had her friends to back up her account of this.

Assuming it was an attack, and not yet another poor tourist fighting off unprovoked ladyboy aggression.

Surely saying 'ladyboy' is offensive.

It should be transgender person

How about 'cock in a frock'?

Lol

Tall story from a tall tranny.

Good, scum of the earth. Thailand needs to get rid of these so called Ladyboy weirdos

Alas there's much agressivity now in Pattaya. Loads of horny men fuming after flying half-way around the world on the strength of Youtube vids promissing sex galore with young hotties, only to find that young hotties are in short supply given the crowds of prowling men, and anyway mostly trade drinks - not sex - for money these days.

Ladyboys are offensive, the description is appropriate.

Working as " Companions " that a new word for a prostitute. As Gene Hunt would say a trannie with a Fannie.

They are bloody everywhere here. A lot of bars owned by them, and every Thai TV program seems to contain a disproportionate number of them, with their simpering ways and irritating mannerisms. Some look uber attractive and you may not determine their true gender at first, others are the opposite end of the scale, simply fat ugly men in wigs and too much makeup. My Mrs seems to find them amusing and comical, I find them immensely irritating!

He should have stayed and faced then......

like a man !!
