On the night of 30 October 2026, a brawl erupted between five Chinese men and two Thai restroom attendants in Pattaya, Thailand. The incident took place at a street-food market along Pattaya Second Road in the Na Kluea area of Bang Lamung district, Chonnuri province. Two of the Chinese men were left with head injuries after being struck by a modified BB gun handle wielded by one of the Thai men.
The altercation reportedly began around 23:15 in front of a public restroom at the market. A video of the incident, circulating on social media, showed a chaotic scene that required the help of local residents and security guards before police arrived. The Thai restroom attendants, Nattakan and Kritsadawut, were inspecting the facility when they discovered urine on the floor, unflushed toilets, and footprints on toilet seats.
After showing the group the mess, Nattakan claimed that one of the Chinese men shoved him, causing him to hit a wall. This led to a physical fight that spilled out into the street. During the confrontation, a larger group of around seven to eight Chinese men joined in, attacking the Thai men. The Thai attendant Kritsadawut used the BB gun's handle to defend himself, while the Thai attendant Nattakan was charged with fighting.
Both Thai men faced additional charges related to firearms laws due to the BB gun's modification. The five Chinese men were identified as Shen, 64; Lyu, 36; Zhong, 37; Shen, 37; and Zhou, 28. Two of them sustained head injuries after being struck by the gun handle. All five were charged and fined for their roles in the brawl. A 60-year-old restroom attendant, identified as Pom, also reported that some customers frequently left the toilets dirty, including failing to flush and littering.
She mentioned that her nephew had been attacked in the latest incident, adding to the tension between the two groups. The accounts of the confrontation were provided by the Thai restroom attendants, and the police investigation into the fight's circumstances is ongoing.
