A Thai security guard knocked out a drunk tourist
A 63-year-old British tourist was punched in the face by a security guard at a club in Pattaya. Shortly before this, the drunk man tried to get into the club, but was refused entry due to his condition.
A drunk British tourist started a fight with a security guard at a club in the Thai resort of Pattaya and was punched in the face.
On March 2, the 63-year-old foreigner came to the entertainment establishment XO Club in South Pattaya. CCTV footage installed near the club shows how the security guard, 33-year-old Saravut, hits the tourist, after which he falls backwards and hits his head on the ground.
Police officers who received a report of the fight arrived at the scene, detained Saravut and took him in for questioning.
The Thai admitted that the Briton was drunk, and because of this he was denied entry to the club. The man, who disagreed with the decision, started an altercation and then kicked the security guard in the groin. Sarawut added that he retreated to the alley opposite the establishment, but the tourist continued to follow him and tried to attack him. As a result, the Thai hit him in the face, knocking him down. The victim was taken to Bangkok Hospital Pattaya, and the security guard was charged with causing bodily harm. Now he faces up to two years in prison, a fine of 40 thousand baht (about 103 thousand rubles), or both.
