Canadian man held captive in fake Pattaya bar

A retired Canadian man issued a warning to others after being a victim of vicious assault and theft by three cunning Thai women in Pattaya.

The Canadian victim, Douglas, was led to a makeshift bar in Pattaya by the three Thai women where he was held captive and physically assaulted.

On Monday, March 10, Douglas returned to Thailand after several months away. Staying near Rompho Market in Jomtien, the 64 year old decided to head out alone despite the jetlag fatigue.

After visiting three bars close to each other, a ladyboy waitress confirmed that the women in her bar were freelancers, not regular employees.

A lady, who had smiled at Douglas on a previous visit, invited him to join her at another bar. They left together while the other women headed in a different direction, revealed the Canadian.

“They split up. There’s camera footage of them leaving and returning to the original bar. One lady I know a little was watching me from across the road.”

They walked for quite a distance, away from the familiar bar area. Douglas began to feel uneasy but was reassured by the woman, who insisted that they were near the bar, which was supposedly located upstairs.

“When we got to the second floor, it wasn’t a real bar. I told her I wanted to go home, but that’s when things started to go wrong.”

Despite several attempts to leave, Douglas was physically assaulted by a man who had joined the women. He squeezed his face so tight that it gave him a black eye.

Douglas later discovered around 15,000 baht was missing from his wallet.

“I just wanted to go home but they had a motorbike waiting to take me back to one of the bars we were in earlier.”

After reporting the incident to the police, the response was disappointing.

“I was told there was little they could do.”
