PATTAYA, Thailand – A disturbing incident took place near Pratumnak Hill in Pattaya, where a group of teenagers riding motorbikes assaulted a foreign tourist on January 15. The attack occurred in front of a local hotel, located on the road leading up to the hill. Witnesses reported that the teens targeted the tourists, slapping them on the head while riding past, causing concern among other visitors and residents about the safety of the area.
The incident has sparked widespread criticism on social media, with many questioning the safety of Pattaya as a tourist destination.
