PATTAYA — An altercation occurred between a Thai woman and a Korean man at a traditional massage shop in Nongprue, Banglamung, Chonburi. Police received the report around midnight on November 14.
Ms. Narin Kongwongsa, 43, the shop owner, suffered a dislocated right arm with severe pain. Her boyfriend was also injured with a broken nose. First aid was provided before both were sent to the hospital.
The perpetrator, a Korean tourist, remained at the scene continuously livestreaming. Police ordered him to stop streaming before taking him to Pattaya Police Station, while massage staff criticized his behavior.
Ms. Narin explained that the perpetrator, who acts as an influencer, frequently livestreamed inside her shop without permission despite being a stranger. She tolerated it to maintain a good image with foreigners.
However, when he entered a room with a customer getting an oil massage, disturbing both staff and client, she confronted him about his behavior. When he continued streaming, she pushed his phone away, leading him to slam her to the ground, causing her injuries.
Police Lieutenant Kittipong Thalangkan is investigating both parties’ statements and reviewing CCTV footage to ensure fair case proceedings.
