Myanmar worker injured in knife fight at Pattaya hotel

A Myanmar cleaning staff member was injured by a knife while attempting to intervene in a fight at a hotel in Pattaya early yesterday.

The incident, which occurred around 2.16am, on November 20, prompted an immediate response from the Sawan Boriboon Rescue Center following a report of an assault at the hotel on Soi Pratamnak 6. Reporters were also present at the scene. The hotel name remains undisclosed as investigations continue.

Upon arrival, rescue personnel discovered 33 year old Ci Si Thar from Myanmar unconscious with a wound on her right arm, lying on a sofa. The rescue team administered immediate first aid before transporting her to a nearby hospital. Her supervisor and colleagues were on-site, providing support and ensuring her safety.

Ci’s supervisor, 31 year old May, recounted receiving a call from the injured employee around 1am. Ci was attempting to mediate a disagreement between guests when she was inadvertently slashed by a knife. May instructed Ci to meet her but during their phone conversation, Ci lost consciousness. Concerned for her colleague, May promptly contacted rescue services for assistance.

Pattaya police are actively pursuing the people involved in the altercation, who reportedly fled the scene before officers arrived. The circumstances leading to the dispute remain unclear at this time. Fortunately, the Burmese woman is anticipated to make a full recovery from her injuries, said a police spokesperson.

“I received a call from her around 1am, saying she was trying to break up a fight. Unfortunately, she was slashed during the altercation.”

The police continue to investigate, seeking to identify and apprehend those responsible for the disturbance, as the community awaits further developments regarding the incident, reported Pattaya News.
