Hotpot horror: Beer glass brawl erupts in Pattaya restaurant
Chaotic clash raises concerns over rising violence in Sin City's bustling nightlife scene
What started as a sizzling night out at a popular Pattaya hotpot spot boiled over into a glass-shattering fight that sent three people to the hospital and left diners in shock.
Earlier this week, a heated row at a well-known hot pot restaurant in Central Pattaya exploded into violence between a transgender woman, a woman, and the woman’s brother, turning dinner into a full-blown brawl.
Officers from Patrol Unit 1, Area 5 of Pattaya City Police Station, rushed to the scene after receiving reports of a violent altercation inside the restaurant. On arrival, officers were met with chaos: broken glass, blood, and stunned patrons.
According to investigators, the argument began as a verbal spat at the dining table but quickly spiralled out of control. Eyewitnesses claimed the transgender woman delivered a kick to the woman’s face, landing a direct hit to her right eyebrow.
In a fit of rage, the woman reportedly grabbed a beer glass and hurled it, striking the transgender woman near the nose, causing it to bleed.
Just when it seemed things couldn’t get worse, the woman’s brother, identified only as “Not,” tried to break up the fight. Instead, he got caught in the crossfire, suffering a deep slash to his right wrist from flying glass, narrowly missing a major artery, reported The Pattaya News.
Patrol officers managed to de-escalate the situation with help from friends of those involved. All injured parties were swiftly transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Attempts to resolve the matter peacefully at the scene failed, and the case has now been handed over to Pattaya City Police Station for further legal proceedings. The restaurant’s name has been withheld by police.
Authorities are urging witnesses or anyone with information to contact Pattaya City Police Station via their official Facebook page or by calling 082-7999-111 or 191, available 24/7.
