Good Samaritan Beaten Unconscious Trying To Help Japanese Victim

At 2.30am, on the morning of September 9, Pattaya police were informed of two serious assaults by Thai people on overseas tourists in L.K Metro, Pattaya.

At the scene forty-one-year old Mr Tareyuki Kamiyama, from japan, was treated for severe faces wounds and a deep cut on his mouth.

A forty-four-year old Swede, known only as Peter, had been knocked unconscious and badly beaten.

It was his first day in Pattaya and witnesses said that Mr Kamiyama was attacked and robbed at a bar. The Swede, Peter, went to help and he was then kicked in the face and beaten unconscious.

He too was robbed of 5000 baht and, oddly, one of the suspects also stole his shirt. They then ran off with a Thai woman.

Police officers later arrested Mr Pattana (aka Jack) Meunsaeng, 24 years from Sawan-arom, Uthaithani and Mr. Pathiphan (aka Tonkla) Theukwansue, 28 years from Prakonchai, Buriram.

Both were still drunk when detained and taken to Pattaya police station.

Both have denied the attack and claim that, in fact, they themselves were attacked and robbed.

Investigating officers will review CCTV footage and try to find out what happened.

They have revealed that Mr Pattana (aka Jack) was arrested before for a similar assault on a British tourist on April 5, 2015.

I guess the motothug thought she had just finished her shift and would have plenty of cash on her.

That's why I go to Pattaya for a couple days and nights and move on.

It's good for meeting up with mates, but that's about it for me.

How many times have you been there? Spend a week there and you won't worry about anything. Go a dozen or more times and all will be well with the world.

Over a dozen. Used to stay for a month or two up to the 60 tourist visa.

Thugs with a grudge for foreigners arrested for beating 2 more tourists - Pattaya Mail

Thugs with a grudge for foreigners arrested for beating 2 more tourists

Two bar bouncers with an apparent grudge for foreigners were arrested again, this time for brutalizing a Japanese tourist and knocking out a Swede who came to his rescue.
Pathipan Thuekwamsue, 28, and Pathana Muensaeng, 24, were apprehended in the early hours of Sept. 9 on the go-go bar-lined Soi LK Metro where they worked as security.

They denied assault charges against Tareyuki Kamiyama, who suffered wounds to the face and body, and a Swede identified only as Stephen, who was knocked down and kicked unconscious. A viral YouTube video showed him lying on the pavement as medics attended to him.
Stephen later claimed his assailants stole 5,000 baht from his pockets.

The melee reportedly started after the Japanese man got into an argument inside a Soi LK Metro bar that turned violent with the intervention of so-called security. The Swede tried to intervene as the two thugs ganged up on the Japanese visitor.
Pathipan and Pathana denied the charges, claiming self-defense because the foreigners attacked them further. Police planned to review security camera footage to get to the bottom of the matter.

Pathipan and Pathana, however, have a record of beating up foreign tourists. They were arrested April 8 after ganging up on Briton Lee Huntingdon on Soi Buakhao three days earlier.

Huntingdon allegedly grabbed the bum of a Thai woman walking with her Finnish boyfriend. The Finn punched the Brit in the face and the woman called her brother, Pathipan, who brought friends to help stomp the Englishman.
Pathana claimed he tried to end the argument but decided to smack Huntingdon in the face when he failed. The other Thais willingly joined in, chasing Huntingdon to a Family Mart where the beating continued.

Police said the Thais admitted assaulting the drunk Brit because he spoke harshly to them
