A foreign woman was physically assaulted by a group of Thai ladyboys on Bangla Road in Patong, Phuket.

The video depicts the foreign woman, dressed in an elephant-pattern skirt, targeting a ladyboy in a pink mini dress. She is seen shouting and making mocking gestures. Despite attempts by the ladyboy to avoid conflict, the situation turned violent when the foreign woman struck her, leading to a scuffle.

Bystanders recorded the altercation, noting that the ladyboy typically avoids confrontation unless provoked. Several other ladyboys joined the fracas, which resulted in the foreign woman being attacked and knocked to the ground. She was repeatedly hit, kicked, and struck with a shoe before a Thai man intervened, allowing her to leave.

Witnesses claimed the foreign woman seemed heavily intoxicated and had been acting provocatively, allegedly seeking free drinks from men at a bar. Despite the incident, there have been no reports of any police complaints filed by those involved. The motive behind the altercation remains uncertain, reported The Thaiger.

She was obviously shouting in Russian. Some commentators say she was from Israel, but Russians are forever Russians no matter which passport they have - they always think they know life better...

So for once it wasn't the ladyboys who initiated the scuffle.

Agree. 👍

I'm sure she is an asean now forum member.

Some here Can't leave others alone.

she was asking for it.

Stupid drunk Russian jealous because the ladyboy is prettier than her gets what she deserved.

I would say antagonizing the LB like that despite what happened to her she still got off very lightly. That LB showed quite a lot of restraint it could have ended far worse for the Russian woman.

Stupid to even provoke an argument in the first place.

FAFO... 🙄

Reminds me of the girls I left behind in Blackburn.

They have lady boys in Blackburn?

Drunk chick picks fight with a bunch of dudes. She's lucky she only got a bitch slapped hair yanked and a few kicks. Well deserved ❤️

Need to round up the lady-morons and send them to a gulag, or something like that, because they are too explosive and detrimental... not conducive to tourism at all.

Yes, this Russian tourist was also an idiot and should be ejected too from the country and not tolerated... but both are just idiots on a higher level that are not wanted.

A well-deserved beating. Hopefully, she's learned a thing or two about picking fights and harassing people.

Good job the Stilettos didn't come off otherwise she would have had stitches next morning, but it's showing the pack on the Hunt.

Its not nice for dudes to hit women

What did she expect she upset the ladyboys and they will fight back

Lady boy in pink dress doing a jumping knee to the back in heals, impressive.

Good or Bad, if you come to Thailand looking for a fight, you will easily find one and not like the outcome

Or Gaza?

Is it wrong to be impressed by the Thai person's attributes? I was mesmerized. Like land buoys.
