PATTAYA — The manager of a hotel in the resort town of Pattaya said he has fired a staff member who assaulted a female hotel guest after video of the encounter went viral online.
The video, which surfaced online Saturday, showed a Thai woman arguing with two male staff members in front of The Sun Exclusive Hotel when one of the men kicks her and challenges her to go to the police.
In the video, the men are heard telling the woman she needs to leave her national ID card at the lobby to see a foreigner staying at the hotel. The woman offers to deposit a driving license instead, which the staff refuses, and the heated argument eventually escalates into the assault.
