reader Posted 22 hours ago Posted 22 hours ago From Pattaya News An 80-year-old Belgian man was brutally attacked with a knife to the head and robbed of his wallet near his Pattaya home around midnight today, December 25th. At 12:36 AM, Pattaya police received a report of a foreign tourist being assaulted and robbed at the entrance of The Village Pattaya on Third Road. Upon receiving the report, police and rescue workers from the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation rushed to the scene, along with reporters from The Pattaya News. At the scene, in a private residence, the authorities found Mr. Richard, an 80-year-old retired Belgian electrician, covered in blood. He had sustained severe lacerations to his head caused by a sharp object. Rescue workers provided first aid before rushing him to the hospital. Mr. Richard revealed that his wallet, containing around 7,000 baht, was robbed from him. Ms. Porntip, the victim’s 38-year-old Thai caretaker, informed the police that the victim had been returning from a Christmas event at an entertainment venue in Pattaya. As he approached the entrance of the village, three motorcycles with six male youths surrounded him. They attacked him with a knife, causing severe injuries to his head, and stole his wallet before fleeing. The victim managed to crawl to his residence to seek help, prompting Ms. Porntip to call the authorities. Richard stated he did nothing to cause the attack or anger anyone and had no enemies.

It was intended to be a stand alone post of baby elephant that adopted the cock as its best friend in a Thai zoo. khaolakguy 1 Quote
