Pattaya —
In the early hours of December 31st, 2024, a Thai woman reported an alleged assault on her Chinese boyfriend by security guards at a nightclub on Pattaya’s Walking Street. The incident occurred late on December 27th.
The woman, Ms. Bee (alias), 27, presented photos and a police report to the media, showing her boyfriend, a Chinese businessman, severely injured with a swollen face, broken teeth, and bruises.
According to her, the conflict began after a drinking game at their table resulted in a broken glass. Although her boyfriend stated that he did not cause the damage, he was forcefully removed from the venue, sparking an argument.
The situation escalated when the guards allegedly dragged her boyfriend outside and allegedly violently assaulted him, leaving him with three broken teeth and injuries to his face and head. Ms. Bee claims that attempts to ask them to call the police were mocked by the guards, who threatened further violence if police were called.
Initially, Pattaya police launched an investigation, collecting evidence from CCTV and eyewitnesses to identify the perpetrators. Authorities aim to ensure swift justice for the victim and address concerns over the city’s image.
Pattaya police withheld the name of the venue, citing further investigation was needed.
