At 00:10 on December 13th, 2025, Pattaya City Police Station received a report of a motorcycle collision with multiple injuries on Sukhumvit Road in front of Underwater World Pattaya. Rescue volunteers from Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya were immediately dispatched to the scene.

At the scene, police found a black Honda Scoopy i lying on its side and heavily damaged. The driver, a Russian male tourist approximately 30 years old, suffered abrasions all over his body. His passenger, a Russian woman, was lying injured on the road with severe pain in her left leg and multiple abrasions.

A short distance away was the opposing vehicle: a white Honda Click, also damaged. It was ridden by an Iraqi male tourist aged approximately 30–40 years, with another Iraqi man as passenger. Both sustained abrasions across their bodies.

Rescue personnel provided first aid to all four injured people at the scene. The Russian woman, who was in severe leg pain, was taken to a nearby hospital for further treatment.

Eyewitnesses told police that the Honda Click ridden by the Iraqi tourists was traveling the wrong way (against traffic) on Sukhumvit Road when it was struck head-on by the Russian tourists’ motorcycle that was traveling correctly in its proper lane, resulting in all four people being injured.

Police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area to proceed with legal action accordingly. The tourists involved will seek medical treatment before facing further interviews with police. Their names were not immediately released by police.
