Pattaya
A brawl among Kuwaiti tourists erupted in Pattaya on the late night of August 7th but was quickly quelled by police.
At 11:06 PM on August 7th, 2024, Pattaya Police were alerted to a brawl occurring on Soi Yensabai in South Pattaya, Nongprue sub-district, Banglamung district, Chonburi province. Police quickly dispatched patrol officers to the scene.
Upon arrival, authorities found two large groups of Kuwaiti tourists, each about 20 people, engaged in a heated argument and attempting to attack each other. Fortunately, officers were able to intervene in time and prevent violence. Eyewitnesses captured the chaos on video, which was handed over to the authorities as evidence.
Restaurant staff nearby (name withheld upon request) told The Pattaya News reporters that the incident began when two groups of Middle Eastern tourists, seated at separate tables, started arguing. The situation escalated as both groups attempted to punch each other, but restaurant employees managed to initially stop the fight. However, the groups soon gathered in the alley and began arguing again, prompting employees to call the police.
The incident caused significant alarm among local residents and tourists in the area.
In a previous altercation between Thai nationals and Kuwaiti nationals in the same area Pattaya police promised to deport major foreign offenders.
The South Pattaya area around Soi Yensabai has seen problems and issues for weeks as hundreds of Kuwaiti students, like every year, come to Pattaya during their annual school holidays. Many of the complaints center around the foreigners usage of motorbikes and racing at all hours of the morning as we report here.
Most of the Kuwaiti tourists are set to return to school at the end of August, but this still leaves almost three weeks of potential incidents, notes TPN media.
