British Tourist Accused of Threatening Pattaya Hotel Staff

A hotel receptionist in North Pattaya filed a police complaint after an alleged confrontation with a British tourist over a lost key card fee. The receptionist, identified only as 48-year-old Ae, said the 27-year-old guest lost his room key card and was asked to pay the hotel’s 500 baht replacement charge. Instead of paying, she alleged he became verbally abusive towards staff and tried to assault her before leaving the hotel. The hotel said CCTV footage captured the incident, and the tourist reportedly left his passport behind. Police are reviewing the footage and are expected to call the man in for questioning, though no arrest has been reported.
