A security guard and group of motorcyclists in the resort town of Pattaya reportedly beat a foreign tourist unconscious because of a “misunderstanding” last night.

Police received a report at around 11:30pm pm that a foreign tourist was assaulted outside of Honey Bar on Pattaya – Na Kluea Road. Upon arriving at the scene, rescue workers found an unconscious foreign man on the ground, with severe injuries to the head. The man, who is believed to be in his 30s, was sent to Banglamung Hospital.

According to witnesses, the victim spent the evening drinking at the bar and asked for his bill, which totaled 1,300 baht, at around 11:30pm. Witnesses say the foreigner gave the staff 600 baht and told them in English that he would withdraw the rest of the money from a nearby ATM.
