Thread: Thai man strikes British tourist with metal rod after road rage incident in Pattaya

PATTAYA, Thailand – A violent confrontation occurred in front of LK Metro Hotel, located in Soi Buakhao in South Pattaya on November 8, following a minor traffic accident between a Thai driver and a British tourist. The incident resulted in the British man suffering severe head injuries after being struck by a metal rod.
According to the Pattaya Rescue Center, the incident unfolded when James Edward, a British national, was involved in a minor collision with a Mitsubishi Attrage, driven by 35-year-old Thai man Arthit. Both vehicles stopped at the scene of the accident to resolve the issue.

James, riding a Honda Scoopy i motorcycle with a Thai woman passenger, reportedly appeared slightly intoxicated. Tensions escalated as the two men began arguing, with both parties becoming increasingly agitated. Despite attempts from onlookers to intervene, the argument turned violent. Arthit, in a fit of rage, grabbed a metal rod and struck James on the head, causing heavy bleeding.
Emergency responders arrived shortly after the incident and administered first aid to both individuals before transporting them to the hospital for treatment. James sustained severe injuries, including a head wound and cuts to his arm, while Arthit suffered only minor injuries.




Witnesses, including locals and hotel staff, confirmed that the altercation was fueled by the emotional outbursts of both men. The situation was exacerbated by James’ apparent intoxication and the intervention of bystanders, which seemed to further provoke the escalating conflict.



Authorities are investigating the incident to determine the full details of the altercation and any potential charges.

i only need to see the photo to conclude that the scumbag got exactly what he deserved.

a man more deserving of a beating would be hard to find, even in soi bukkake pattaya.

well posted monkey boy.

Unfortunately that British fella is the rule in Pattaya and Phuket, not the exception. Intoxicated on a scooter with a hooker on the back.

Doesn’t that happen all over Thailand? Doesn’t every expat look like that?

We have been told here on TD by a few that this happens all over Thailand. I can say I have never seen a foreigner that looks like that on a Scoopy I with a hooker on the back drunk. But there are 3 competing newspapers.....

Cripes, there must be many unreported biffo incidents.

Blimey, Little & Large were on form last night.

Not so much a random metal rod as an offensive weapon the assailant carried with him. Out looking for trouble and he found it.
