A group of over 10 Chinese nationals brutally assaulted a fellow countryman outside the victim’s nightclub in Pattaya in September last year, leaving him blind and causing 2 million baht loss.

The Chinese victim, Chen Jing, approached the Facebook news page Big Kren to seek justice. The incident occurred at approximately 2am on September 24 of last year outside the World House Club on Pattaya Sai Sam Road, but the victim has yet to receive justice.

According to the page, the case was being handled by Mueang Pattaya Police Station, with Police Major Wuttiann Kongdee serving as the investigating officer.

Jing informed the page administrator that over ten Chinese men attempted to force him into a white Toyota Alphard minivan outside his nightclub but he resisted. The gang then revealed their motive, demanding that he sell shares in his nightclub and when he refused, the attackers assaulted him.

The brutal assault resulted in Jing losing his sight. During the attack, his luxury necklace, a limited-edition Cartier piece worth approximately 2 million baht, also went missing.

For his safety, Jing decided to return to China. He returned to Thailand on Monday, January 20, to follow up on the case however, all of the suspects remain at large.
