Swiss man’s peaceful Pattaya night shattered by youth attack
A peaceful evening in Pattaya turned into a night of chaos for a 66 year old Swiss man as he faced a brutal assault by local youths, leaving him injured and his car in tatters.
Manoutcher Kamel Kamai, a Swiss national, yesterday, December 15, stumbled into the Pattaya City Police Station, visibly shaken and wounded, seeking justice for the unprovoked attack. His face bore the marks of his ordeal, swelling and cuts, as tears streamed down his cheeks.
Armed with a translation app, Kamai recounted the harrowing incident. After enjoying a meal nearby, he parked his Toyota Velos SUV on South Pattaya Road. On returning to his vehicle, he found himself surrounded by a gang of four to six teenagers with mischief on their minds.
Without warning, the youths began attacking his car’s windows with rocks, attempting to wreck his vehicle. Kamai’s attempt to confront the hooligans only led to further chaos.
Two of the attackers turned on him, delivering a flurry of kicks and punches that sent him crashing to the ground. Ignoring his cries for mercy, the beatings continued until a passerby decided enough was enough, scaring the gang off, Pattaya News reported.
Pattaya police are now on the hunt for the offenders and appealed to the public to come forward if they have any information on the attack. Meanwhile, investigative teams are scouring CCTV footage to chase down the suspects.
In related news, a Thai man successfully rescued his Swiss boyfriend from a suicide attempt at a house in Pattaya, reportedly due to financial losses connected to his Thai ex-wife.
The 37 year old Thai man sought urgent assistance from Nong Prue Police Station after discovering his 66 year old Swiss boyfriend sitting in the bathroom, covered in blood. Despite the Swiss man’s plea to be left to die.
