Transwoman injures two women in Pattaya Beach attack
A transwoman reportedly attacked two women on Pattaya Beach at 4.36am on Saturday, February 17.
The Sawang Boriboon Dhamma Sathan Rescue Foundation Radio Centre in Pattaya received distress calls on February 17, alerting authorities to a harrowing physical assault. Rushing to Soi 13, Pattaya Beach, Bang Lamuand ng, Chon Buri, rescue teams and local police uncovered a scene of horror.
Two Thai women, 22 year old Nittaya Chansuay and 24 year old Supranee Khamnoi bore the brunt of the attack. Nittaya, bearing multiple facial wounds, and Supranee, with a laceration to her ear, recounted a chilling tale to authorities.
According to Supranee, the suspect, known only as Jirasak, a 32 year old transwoman, was peddling perfume when the altercation ensued. Nittaya’s refusal to entertain advances towards her boyfriend ignited a fiery dispute, resulting in the transwoman’s frenzied assault with a pocket knife, reported Pattaya News.
Despite swift medical intervention from rescue teams, the severity of the injuries necessitated urgent hospitalisation. As authorities grappled with the intoxicated suspect, legal proceedings awaited formal police reports from the traumatised victims.
