Transgender woman attacked by foreigners on Pattaya Walking Street

Bangkok, Thailand – CCTV footage outside a venue on Walking Street in South Pattaya shows a disturbing incident in which two unidentified foreign men attacked a transgender woman at 3 a.m. on June 17. One of the attackers, wearing a white shirt and shorts, punched the victim, who was wearing a yellow dress, causing her to collapse and lie unconscious on the street. Despite attempts by the victim’s friends to chase them, the attackers fled the scene.

In the afternoon of the same day, reporters visited the scene and found blood stains on the road. Mr. Ton (pseudonym), 37, a witness to the incident, said that a heated argument broke out between the foreign men and the transgender woman before the attack.
