PATTAYA — A Chinese tourists suffered a brain wound in an unprovoked assault by a man wielding a stay, while sitting outside a cafe in this tourist town on Monday night.
His intruder then calmly walked out.
The assault occurred about 10pm in front of a restaurant with home hotel in tambon Nong Prue, Bang Lamung area.
The 41-year-old holiday, identified just as Mr J, was seated, using his phone and waiting for an ordered food supply.
A person of poor appearance instantly walked up to the visitor and hit him on the mind with a sturdy stick about 30 centimetres long, causing bleeding and swelling.
The attacker then walked casually away, as if nothing had happened, Mr J told reporters.
The victim called his Thai friend, whose name was given as Ms A, to take him to a hospital before filing a complaint with police.
They did not expect police to pursue the case seriously, so they shared security camera footage of the attack online as a warning to others and offered a 1,000-baht reward for information about the attacker.
” It is unsafe for all. It has a huge negative impact on the city’s image,” Ms A said. ” Despite multiple crackdowns, incidents of homeless people attacking tourists have occurred repeatedly. “
