A Japanese tourist was attacked and robbed by a group of teenagers near Bangkok's Makkasan station. The 43-year-old tourist, named Yuki, wandered into the overgrown area near the station by mistake. When he tried to return to the station, six teenagers on two motorcycles approached him and demanded money. Despite repeatedly stating he had none, the group of youths, aged around 15, restrained Yuki and attacked him with a rock, causing injuries to his head and mouth.
He managed to escape to a passerby, Athit, a 44-year-old man who helped Yuki to the hospital. Yuki had been in Thailand to celebrate his birthday with his Thai girlfriend but faced this ordeal instead. Athit expressed concern that the incident could tarnish Thailand's reputation as a tourist destination and urged the parents of the involved youths to be more responsible. Despite sustaining injuries, Yuki was grateful for Athit's assistance and has since thanked him.
