SAMUT PRAKAN, Thailand – A 21-year-old man, upset by music playing from a nearby drinking group, confronted them and ended up being beaten in retaliation, January 26.
Police from Mueang Samut Prakan Station responded to a brawl near the Bang Pu Municipal Pier in Soi 68. They found Chinawat, 21, intoxicated and injured, waiting for assistance after being beaten, leaving his nose severely cut. Rescue volunteers transported him to the hospital.
The incident also involved Sai, 35, who had a swollen right eyebrow and abrasions on his left hand but declined hospital treatment. He told the police that Chinawat, whom he didn’t know, approached and punched him over the music.
