reader Posted 15 hours ago Posted 15 hours ago From Pattaya Mail A Chinese tourist and his girlfriend reported an assault to Pattaya Police Station on January 20. The couple, identified as Ms. A (35 years old) and Mr. Zhang Hao Tian (24 years old), were walking along the beach road near the entrance to Walking Street in South Pattaya when they encountered a Thai-Chinese man who made an inappropriate remark in Chinese, asking if the boyfriend’s “anatomy was small or large.” The comment angered Mr. Zhang, who confronted the man and asked, “What does it have to do with you?” This sparked a heated argument, which escalated when the assailant pulled out a key and stabbed Mr. Zhang in the right arm, injuring him. The couple immediately went to Pattaya Police Station to report the incident. Police quickly contacted emergency responders, who provided first aid to Mr. Zhang. The police have recorded the incident and are now investigating the matter to identify and take legal action against the assailant. The investigation continues, with authorities reviewing surveillance footage from the area to help track down the suspect. https://www.pattayamail.com/news/chinese-tourist-stabbed-after-argument-over-inappropriate-comment-in-pattaya-487923 =========================\ NOTE -- Probably not a good idea to display gold jewelry when traveling and especially not in Pattaya. Transgender gang steals necklace from Indian tourist Pattaya City Police received a report of a theft incident involving a 42-year-old Indian national, Mr. Pravin Manik Tavada, a hotel business owner, January 20. The incident took place along the beachside near the Hard Rock Hotel, where Mr. Tavada had been out walking with friends. According to the victim, while enjoying the evening scenery of Pattaya, he and his friends were approached by a group of three transgender women who offered their services. The group engaged in physical contact, including hugs and caresses, seemingly trying to disarm the tourists with their actions. Despite the group’s attempts to make them feel at ease, Mr. Tavada and his friends refused and walked away after only a brief interaction. However, within just a few minutes of walking away from the scene, the group of transgender women appeared to show dissatisfaction, quickly fleeing from the area. Upon checking his belongings, Mr. Tavada realized that his gold necklace weighing 40 grams, worth over 132,000 Baht, had gone missing. He was certain that the transgender women were responsible for the theft. Despite a brief search in the area, neither he nor his friends were able to locate the suspects. https://www.pattayamail.com/news/transgender-gang-steals-necklace-from-indian-tourist-using-deceptive-tactics-in-pattaya-487919 ================ Another Tourist Loses 80,000-Baht Gold Necklace An Indian tourist in Pattaya claimed he had his 80,000-baht gold necklace stolen by a group of transgender thieves near Soi 7, the second similar incident in a day.
