For any tourists visiting tourist areas, be advised violence is rising in the nightlife areas.
A lady in Pattaya was bashed in the head requiring a trip to the hospital by 2 other ladies, simply because she banged into the ladies handbag.
A fiery clash between rival youth gangs turned Phuket’s Parn Hin festival into a crime scene late last night, with weapons seized and three suspects in custody after a confrontation involving firecrackers, knives, and even a homemade gun.
Police arrested a 28-year-old Cambodian man within 24 hours of his alleged robbery of a female Russian tourist in Pattaya.
Tourist should be aware of this rising violence and that tourists areas can explode with violence in no time at all.
Tourist’s are advised not get drunk and get into a brawl or join in to try to help someone in a brawl.
Fraying tempers are causing combatants to become unhinged to the point of inflicting serious physical injuries.
My advice is if violence flares up, immediately leave the area.
Don’t stand around like a foolish clown trying to video for social media as this act in itself can turn the combatant’s against you.
Be vigilant and alert to the possibilities of violence occurring in the nightlife areas.
