Russian Resort Owner beaten-up on Pattaya’s Walking Street

A report of an assault by a group of 8 individuals was reported at Pattaya Police Station just after 5am on Sunday by a Russian Resort Owner and his Thai Girlfriend.

Mr. Dmitry Kozlov aged 36 and his Thai Girlfriend reported the incident which resulted in Mr. Kozlov sustaining a suspected broken nose and facial abrasions. The pair had come to Pattaya for a 3 day holiday and run a resort on the Island of Phangan in the South of Thailand.

The pair were standing on Walking Street in front of the P72 Restaurant when they were asked by a motorcyclist to step-aside so he could park. Initially Mr. Kozlov refused to move which made the driver angry. He placed a call to friends who were asked to attend the scene urgently.

I only have one question which is a little irrelevant.. what was they doing hanging around at 5am? ok 2 questions. wouldn't you think at 5am there would be sufficient parking that the guy on the motorcycle would have a slew of places to park? just pondering thanks..

I only have one question which is a little irrelevant, too. Does Pattaya One have a photographer/s on twenty-four hour duty at Pattaya Police Station?

The simple anwer is yes, they do have a aguy on stand by to take the pics

The Russian guy looks like he could "Handle" himself; however, always remember that the Thais are never alone. One call and the Thai guy has 10 friends to back up his side of the disagreement

Solution - Just step aside!

Before the rest of the group arrived Mr. Kozlov claimed he apologized to the driver and assumed the problem had been resolved.

A group of 8 people arrived consisting of four Ladyboy’s, three teenagers and one woman who, without consulting with the bike driver, set-upon Mr. Kozlov and his girlfriend who were able to escape and made their way straight to the Police Station."

Handling oneself here will only trigger an escalation.

The mosai punk showed his martial arts prowess by summoning eight buddies who were only too happy to break the tedious monotony of their grub-like lives by getting a boot or two in on an overwhelmed loner.

Thai martial artistry ?? Eight against one with the very real possibility of knives or a gun being pulled the moment the outsider drops a few of them.

Maggots.

Apologised because he conceded that he was behaving in an arrogant manner or to placate the offended driver?

I do not condone violence, but, you have to look after yourself. Avoid trouble when and wherever you can. He wasn't seriously harmed and will learn his lesson, I'm sure.

His girlfriend is kind of cute.

It is sometimes difficult to love this town.

Aren't iron rods are their preferred instruments?

Two people looking for trouble.

At least one of them found it.

Perhaps they were upset at him aparently owning a rsort in a country that he isnt allowed to.

How do you know that?

"four Ladyboy’s, three teenagers and one woman"

Not the "Hells Angels" ? A Russian RAMBO should have man handled that!

At least to followup his BIG MOUTH beforehand!

I'm sure the Queensbury Boxing rules have never been heard of in Thailand.

Thailand's #1 family destination never disappoints.

Your run of the mill pack of rabid dogs at work...

I wager he will move the next time he is asked to step aside.

"The pair were standing on Walking Street"

Shouldn't have stopped walking.

Classy "girlfriend".

Wow, a fight at 5am in a big city. How unusual.

It to 8 guys to break his nose and scratch his face? We can assume not Thai boxers then.........

Personally, I have been bumped by these damn drivers when walking around the soi's on walking street. The drives have absolutely no regard for pedestrians and believe that it is their right to run over or into anyone in their way. There have been occassions when I have left my elbow extended a bit and have caused their mirrors to be bent or broken off when they drive by. It hurts a bit but worth it. I think I will have to temper my attitude because I could end up the same as every other assulted falang with just a simple phone call by one of these pr*cks.

One day i can see headlines being made when police keep finding walking street Thai motor cycle taxi drivers turning up dead. They will hit the wrong person one day it is coming, only a matter of time.

in this situation, when the perpetrator will be put in prison, especially the driver, everybody will have gotten what he deserves, and this includes the Russian.

You would think he's been here long enough to know "you can't win", but then the prevalent attitude and behavior among many Russians (not all) is "I don't have to be polite, show manners, etc".

Another nail in the coffin for Pattaya and the rest of Thailand!

Why anybody would stand around and let somebody phone for reinforcements boggles the mind.

Nah. Just a stubborn Russian vs a motorbike driver & some of his ladyboy friends. Something like this could happen anywhere in the world. In fact, the damage being limited to a possible broken nose, I'd say it could've been much worse many other places in the world. Will never understand foreigners in Thailand who think they have to act like this. Yeah, the driver probably could have found another place to park. But why for the love of mike get in his face over it at 5 o'clock in the morning?? Someone's definition of manliness or what?

Why?
