Chaos erupted along Pattaya Beach Road when a drunken domestic dispute spiralled into a full-blown physical fight, drawing police and rescue crews to the scene.

Officers from Pattaya Police Station and rescue personnel from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation responded swiftly to emergency calls from concerned bystanders who witnessed the commotion.
Upon arrival, police found the couple, identified as 49 year old Suthon and 42 year old Rungnapha, shouting and scuffling with each other as stunned tourists watched.

The pair told police that the row erupted after they had been drinking together, with emotions running high and tempers flaring.
What started as a verbal spat quickly turned violent, leaving both with facial injuries and bruises on their bodies. Rescue workers on-site administered immediate first aid.
