Pattaya —
Two teenagers were injured, one seriously, in a brawl over a pair of jeans in Pattaya early Thursday morning, March 28th, 2024.
The incident occurred at around 1:26 AM near the Bali Hai Pier in South Pattaya.
According to witnesses, the brawl erupted after a disagreement over a pair of jeans between roughly 30 teenagers. The victim, 19-year-old Wanarach (family name withheld), had agreed to buy the jeans from an acquaintance for 600 baht. However, later, another friend of the seller, accompanied by a larger group of people, confronted Wanarach about the jeans, demanding him to return the pair of jeans to them.
When Wanarach refused to return the jeans, the seller’s friend and his friends, who outnumbered Wanarach and his friends, attacked them.
Wanarach was slashed in the head with a knife and suffered a serious head wound. His friend, 20-year-old Wachirawich (family name withheld), was also injured in the brawl.
Both victims were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Police are investigating the incident and are looking for the suspects.
This isn’t the first incident of teens brawling at Bali Hai Pier as we covered HERE, with many concerning and violent brawls taking place over the last year, especially around the skateboard park. This is, however, the first large brawl over a pair of jeans.
