Scotsman Brutally Assaulted By Thais In Pattaya, Police Say

By Khaosod Eng.

CHONBURI — Police say they are searching for two Thai men who brutally assaulted a foreign tourist in the popular resort town of Pattaya early this morning.

Police say the assault took place at around 1 am near Soi Bua Kao in Central Pattaya district. The attack left the tourist, who said he is Scottish, with severe injuries on his head and bruises all over his body, police told reporters.

According to Pol.Cpt. Noppadol Raksawong, CCTV footage in the area showed the tourist and another foreigner arguing with a Thai woman in front of a bar in Soi Bua Kao. Two Thai men later arrived on a motorcycle and one of them drew out a knife and started attacking the tourist. A brawl soon ensued.

Pol.Cpt. Noppadol said much of the fight was obscured on the CCTV footage by an umbrella, though the tourist could clearly be seen attempting to walk away, only to be further assaulted. The two Thai men reportedly left the Scotsman bleeding on the street and sped away on their motorcycle.

Pol.Cpt. Noppadol said the police are working to identify and arrest the two men seen in the CCTV.

"This is an act that shows no fear of the law, and it happened in front of many tourists in the area," Pol.Cpt. Noppadol said.

Crimes against foreigners are common in Pattaya, which is well known for its red light district.

What about the other foreign man?

No assistance from him?

What about the other tourists overlooking?

No assistance from them?

If you are a coward, you are a coward, irrespective if you are Thai, farang or from Mars.

The thai was armed with a knife costas

Are you Steven seagal or chuck Norris

Because if you are not here is some advice about

Dealing with armed Thais ....stay away from them if you value your life

Amen to that

Note to self: Do not argue with people outside bars in the early hours of the morning. It never ends well.

All these incidents revolve around alcohol and bars in the early hours of the morning. Same in all countries where people drink too much.

Lawless place, send the army in...

As a foreignor u not want to interfere and possibly win from Thai men if they assault an other farrang ..

As a foreignor and winning u will be pulling the short end of the stick .

Has nothing to do with being a coward , just common sence .

You gotta be careful, they are pack hunters, us westerners prefer to go solo, as we have honor, they have face and are willing to keep it at any cost.

[Mister Fixit]

They are usually a bunch of cowards, who wait until they have a gang before trying it on. Get in quick before they have time to call friends. Problem is, most farang low lifes in Pattaya are too drunk to notice they are in trouble.

I guess that means the fact the guy got the shit beat out of him by a couple of mongrels is not a big deal.....but the shit is it happened in front of other tourists,

Its a wonder they did,nt say anyone posting a vid of this on youtube will be arrested and charged.

now's not the time to talk about being righteous or brave, but rather be safe than sorry is more important.

Best thing to do if you want to help is call the police and try and film it with your mobile.

[sharecropper]

Even if people don't want to get involved physically they should take video or photos to help police later. It's not that difficult.

A few years ago I was brutally assaulted by two Thais with pool cues. I ended up in hospital with head injuries. Ironically this also happened on Soi Buakow and it was after an argument over a bar bill that was 3 times bigger than it should have been. The initial argument has been between my Thai wife and the bar staff. As we walked outside two Thai men jumped of a motorbike and attacked me. Other farangs turned a blind eye as I was beaten on the ground. My wife was also punched in the face by one of the men. Later she told me that the Thai men who were friends of the bar owner never once mentioned the money or bar bill. When they were hitting me they just kept shouting insults about farangs.

Unless we are in company then my wife and I always pay as we go. No room or error or misunderstanding once we leave.

We live and learn.

Has nothing to do with being a coward , just common sence .

It always troubles me when i see another person getting the crap belted out of them especially if they are outnumbered but i always reason that i owe my loyalty to my family first and to be able to come home and enjoy being with them and look after them for as long as possible than to step in and also get the crap belted out of myself,or not come home at all .So i will no longer jump in and fight for some stranger who may very well be an a**hole themselves , or fight strangers who i don't know . I am too old and slow for that stuff now. Render first aid and assistance is all that i can do now .

I'm surprised the newspaper refers to Scotsman not Brit. Indians are referred to as Brits along with a host of other nations holding British Passports.

Anyway a Scotsman is usually used to this sort of thing it wouldn't even make the local newspaper in Scotland.

The only cowards were those two Thais.

[katana]

According to the Thai press, the man attacked was 40 year-old Stuart Page who was with his 36 year-old friend Donald Banks. The girl involved in the argument was Page's 23 year old Thai 'girlfriend' Suthatta Promtun.

Looks like some Thais witnessing the argument took exception and called in the heavies.

"No fear of the law"? What law is that? ohhh the ones that are enforced when it suits those responsible for enforcement.

The cops normally pick this breed of lowlife up - makes for a good photo op and gives the impression that Pattaya is serious about addressing the 'crime problem'. The Red Bull heir, on the other hand ....

[Phatcharanan]

I'm surprised the newspaper refers to Scotsman not Brit.

Maybe the newspaper already knows the forthcoming referendum result.

Yes they were probably having a boisterous early hours debate on the referendum.
