In the first incident, two British men fought with a German tourist outside The Godfather Bar in the Soi Buakhao area around 2 a.m. local time on Wednesday morning. The German tourist, Marcello, 44, has an enlarged left side of the heart and fibrosis in his right lung, making him look thin and fragile. Footage shows the British men kicking and pummeling Marcello into the pavement. According to Daily Mail - Home, Laila, an onlooker, described seeing Marcello arguing with other customers inside the venue before the brawl escalated outside. May Srinateetundorn, Marcello's girlfriend, claimed the British men attacked them as they were leaving the bar, shouting insults about the Second World War, throwing objects, and spitting at her face. Motorcycle taxi riders stepped in to break up the fight, and patrol officers later arrived to control the situation. The British men fled after the fight.
In a second incident, two Brits were knocked out during a drunken brawl with a bodybuilder on a street in Thailand. The brawl occurred as the bodybuilder was leaving Walking Street in Pattaya with his girlfriend on March 5. Footage shows the muscular fitness buff trading punches with the group in front of bystanders. One Brit was knocked unconscious after trying to dodge a punch but losing balance and stumbling into a parked truck; the other was floored during the fight. Paramedics found one man collapsed on the pavement with a dislocated hip, abrasions, and cuts on his face; another man aged 25-30 was lying unconscious nearby. The injured men were given first aid and taken to Pattaya Bhattamakun Hospital for treatment.
The two British men were drunk and then the German man started talking to them. But an argument started and it escalated into a brawl outside, where he was attacked by the two foreign men. When bystanders tried to intervene, one of the men spat at his girlfriend's face.
After the incidents, officers at Pattaya City Police Station said no formal complaints had been filed as of today. Police Captain Jittisuk Suthenitatwong of Pattaya City Police Station said the tourist was released after interrogation, and they must wait for the injured victims to recover before questioning them for further legal action.
It happened just after midnight. I have a friend who works at the bar there, so my boyfriend and I went there for drinks. My boyfriend, Marcello, is 44 and not very physically strong. He has an enlarged left side of his heart and fibrosis in his right lung, which makes him look thin and quite fragile. He arrived in Pattaya on April 13. We have been together for three years, and he visits me twice a year. We have never experienced anything like this before. While we were sitting in the bar, there were two young foreign men drinking there who were acting strangely, walking back and forth across the street holding beer bottles, with unfocused, yellowish eyes. I suspected they might have been using drugs because I have seen similar behaviour before. I told my boyfriend not to get involved, as Pattaya can be like this, and sometimes if you approach people with good intentions, they might misunderstand. However, he still went to speak to them. They smiled in a way that made it clear they intended to confront him. I was worried about my boyfriend, so I stepped in to help. As I was pulling him out of the bar, one of them ran in and punched him in the face. I asked them what they wanted, as we were already leaving. I was angry and fought back.
