Violent attack on Cambodian man in Chon Buri’s Jomtien Complex
In a harrowing incident that unfolded near the Jomtien Complex condominium, a 21 year old Cambodian man became the victim of a brutal assault outside a local bar. Pattaya police and Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Foundation volunteers rushed to the scene on the night of January 23.
Upon arrival, authorities discovered the Cambodian national, Thep Song, with a swollen and bruised eye, head wounds, and bruises adorning his body. Positioned outside the bar where the attack occurred, Thep received initial medical aid from rescue volunteers before being swiftly transported to Pattaya Hospital for further treatment.
Thep claimed that the assault was orchestrated by his fellow employees at an undisclosed bar in the Soi Jomtien Complex. The sequence of events unfolded after Thep indulged in some drinks at the bar. Later, as he returned to his room to change for bed, he found himself confronted by two assailants who mercilessly attacked him.
While one assailant restrained him, the other inflicted severe injuries to his face and body. Following the assault, the perpetrators hastily fled the scene, leaving Thep in a dire state, reported Pattaya News.
As investigators await Thep’s discharge from the hospital to facilitate further questioning, the motive behind the assault remains unknown. Authorities are delving into the surveillance footage from CCTV cameras in the area for evidence and further investigation.

One of the victims suffered broken ribs as a result of the assault. Parents of the two victims filed a complaint against the male teacher, Atisit Ninlanark, at Mueang Lop Buri Police Station yesterday, December 27. The parents reported that the boys were attacked by the teacher on December 26 over a misunderstanding.
Officers questioned the two boys and learned that the boy, identified only as A, spotted Atisit’s book on the floor and picked it up to put it on his desk. Atisit encountered A holding his book and mistook him for a thief.
