When in doubt, use the Crocodile Dundee method of checking first.

I always cop for a feel before agreeing a price.

If it’s bigger than mine then the deal’s off.

I hope Thailand can get China to return this guy for some justice.

...and the assault with broken glass? Happens all the time in a "scuffle" does it?

Yes along with knives, machetes, bullets, fists, cars, steel pipes and chains.

He is going back to China; there the authorities will deal with him.

There is a treaty in place, but it probably works only one way.

How did they get the photo of the attack from inside the room

Maybe this hotel has hidden cameras in all rooms and bathrooms, spying on guests.

More likely people either can't read what's been written, or have rubbish comprehension.

I blame Thatcher myself.

Chinese Tourist Claims Pattaya Ladyboy Extortion Trap

Police believe the dispute may have started after the Chinese man allegedly hired the victim for services and later became angry after discovering the victim was a ladyboy

Yet another case..

I still think the ladyboys should work in an area/soi that is cleary marked as 'This soi is for ladyboys only and their clients' - then highly publish that fact. It would be much safer for the ladyboys. Mixing them in with regular bar girls is asking for trouble if a naive customer picks up a ladyboy thinking he's a she and things turn ugly back at the hotel. Remember, while many long-time customers of these places like Walking Street, Cowboy, etc., can usually suss out a ladyboy, a newcomer might not be able to tell the difference, especially if drunk.

Now that sounds like a more believable version of events, and explains who took the photos - the other 2 ladyboys in the room. The fact "she" lied about being in the room alone with him when there were 2 others with her says it all - he was defending himself against 3 men trying to extort him violently. The hotel staff's part in this is supicious too. They really should do something about these ladyboy gangs - they're more than a nuisance now - they're becoming more and more dangerous.

Yeah fair enough, this time the stars aligned for him. I still wouldn’t bank on Pattaya-to-booking-a-plane-sitting-there-waiting-for-him (with empty seats) in 5 hours as a long-term travel strategy though 😂

There are also often stand by tickets , you can take the seats of any no shows just before departure

Well looks like it didnt work out well for the lady boy this time for a change.

Agreed - this seems far more believable.

The first story was always very suspicious - How did the Ladyboy's friends get there so quickly, as soon as the fight broke out and take photos ?? - the obvious answer is that they were there already - which makes the extortion story far more believable - what other explanation can there be for the 'two other' men to be there ?
