Pattaya—
At 4:36 AM, on February 17th, 2024, Sawang Boriboon Dhamma Sathan Rescue Foundation Radio Center, Pattaya City, received a physical assault report of a transgender person hurting two women with a sharp object at Soi 13, Pattaya Beach, Banglamung, Chonburi.
The rescue teams and Pattaya City police were dispatched to the incident scene and found two victims, Ms. Nittaya Chansuay, 22, who was in severe condition as she suffered wounds from being cut on her face multiple times, and Ms. Supranee Khamnoi, 24, who had a wound from being cut on her left ear.
Supranee, one of the victims, told the rescue teams that the suspect was selling perfume in Soi 13, while Nittaya was on the way to a hotel with her foreign boyfriend. However, the suspect tried to seduce Nittaya’s boyfriend to spend a night with the suspect. The foreigner refused the offer and went to a hotel 100 meters away from the incident scene, according to Supranee.
However, Nittaya went back to the suspect and had a heated argument before the situation escalated and the suspect allegedly used a pocket knife to cut Nittaya multiple times and Supranee, a witness nearby, who attempted to calm them down, was hurt also.
The rescue teams performed first aid and urgently transferred the victims to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
Initially, the Pattaya City police took hold of the suspect, publicly identified only as Mr. Jirasak, a 32-year-old transgender person, who was intoxicated. However, the victims, after receiving medical treatment, needed to report official police reports to the police before legal action could be enforced.
