An Australian tourist was found injured outside a Pattaya entertainment venue late on March 23, following a disturbance inside. Pattaya Tourist Police arrived at the venue in the Nong Prue subdistrict after reports of the incident emerged around 11pm. The injured individual, identified as Scott, a 55-year-old Australian, suffered multiple head wounds and was subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment.

Earlier events indicated that Scott had entered the venue with his son and consumed alcohol, appearing intoxicated. He reportedly caused a disturbance, leading staff to request him to leave. When he refused, an argument ensued, and security personnel intervened as Scott refused to pay charges of 1,070 baht.

Security staff tried to escort Scott out, but he resisted, resulting in a struggle during which he reportedly fell and hit his head on glass. Although the venue's security denied immediate access to police and CCTV footage, officers suspect the injuries might not have been solely due to the fall. Further investigation is underway as police seek more information.

Police are questioning the venue's supervisor and security personnel to ascertain the full details of the altercation. They are also awaiting Scott's recovery to obtain his statement. Legal actions may be pursued if evidence of an assault is confirmed, signaling potential serious consequences for those involved, reported The Thaiger.

Yeah it sounds like he accidentally hit his head as the security guard were pushing the hell out of them TIT

Drunk and getting rough with security over 1080 THB is not recommended in Thailand.

They escorted him out! That occurred after he refused to pay the bill with no editorial stating he paid it before he was marched out?

It appears to me the security heavies got really aggressive with this ozzie because they did not get the money to cover the bill.

In short arrest security. Oh I bet CCTV is not all of a sudden working.

I had to check that it wasn't the one who was lying out in the middle of the street on Soi Bua Khao, after being kicked in the head by security, a couple of days ago. Staff seemed keen to drag him to the opposite side of the road, so it would look to have nothing to do with them. But he was somewhat overweight, so it wasn't possible for them to complete the task. Foreigners helped to move him from blocking traffic. He looked dazed and confused when sat up in the road. Hopefully no brain damage.

Another lairy Aussie who can't take his drink. The fact he was asked to leave says enough. Pay your bill and shut the feck up and then no problem.

AND certainly not recommended if you want to stay healthy and out of hospital

Typical trouble making lightweight tightwad Aussie bogan, ......why don't you stick to bothering the Balinese bruce

What a wonderful example for his son. He should be a leading candidate for Father of the Year.

Not a great example to set for his son!

Never get pissed and cause a commotion or argue about the bill, even if it is padded, in a Thai girlie bar with bouncers. Pay up, go home and learn from the experience.

Maybe his first time there and did not know the rules.the bill for 2 people not high.He learn,t the rules fast and will know next time

Turns out the GoGo bar was "The Big Tool"...look it up. What is he doing in that type of GoGo. Now it is all over Australia...and I can just imagine the conversations when he is out for a drink with his mates....555555.
