Attack on transgender woman by foreign man rocks Pattaya Beach
A 27 year old transgender woman was subjected to a brutal attack by a foreign man in a shocking incident that has sent ripples through Pattaya Beach.
The brazen assault on the transgender woman, Ms A, left her injured and humiliated in broad daylight, as the thug casually sped off on a motorcycle, laughing in her face.
The incident, flagged by popular social media page Jay Moi V+, unfolded today, January 7, leaving both locals and tourists at Pattaya Beach area stunned. Accompanying the post were damning images and a video clip capturing the unnerving episode.
Ms A recounted the harrowing experience: while minding her own business at Pattaya Beach, a foreign man approached her, hurling insults and mocking her in front of a crowd of onlookers.
The barrage of abuse left her no choice but to confront him, demanding he leave. But the foreigner had other plans. He attempted to enlist a nearby transgender woman to do his dirty work but she refused to aid his cruel antics.
Undeterred, the man swaggered off towards the public restrooms between Soi 13/3 and 13/4 Beach Road. Determined to seek justice, Ms. A followed him, intending to get an apology and involve the police. Instead, she was met with a vicious punch that sent her crashing to the ground.
As if on cue, the perpetrator erupted into laughter before making his getaway on a motorcycle.
Ms A gathered evidence from nearby CCTV cameras and witnesses to support her case with the Pattaya City Police.
She expressed her outrage, condemning the foreigner’s disrespect towards her and to Thais in general. The flagrant defiance of local laws, she warned, could embolden other foreigners to engage in similar acts of violence.
Ms A revealed that similar assaults on her friends by foreign men had gone unreported, driven by fear and a reluctance to confront the police. She stressed that allowing such behaviour to go unpunished would tarnish Thailand’s image and compromise the safety of both locals and tourists.
