Police are looking for several youths who attacked
and killed a Thai man outside the Boutique Hotel in South Pattaya.
The body of Nathee Kerthong, 34, was found shot
fatally in the chest inside the Soi VC hotel’s fence Aug. 2. Groups of
witnesses said he’d been attacked by two or three youths, then shot once
after jumping the hotel’s fence.
Nathee’s father, Pranom Kerdthong, 72, said his son
had gone out to buy pirated CDs to sell at a local market and doesn’t
know why someone would shoot him. Police speculated the attack was
related to a personal dispute or drugs.
