Police say the case will advance once the tourist files a complaint, with CCTV review ongoing.

  • Rescue workers from the Sawang Borriboon Dhammastan Foundation provided first aid for facial and head injuries before transporting him to a Pattaya hospital for further treatment.
  • A 19-year-old local eyewitness told responders the altercation began as an argument over payment for sexual services and escalated when additional individuals joined the attack.
