PATTAYA – A Thai woman is living in fear after a British man she briefly knew was caught on camera violently destroying her property in what appears to be a revenge attack.

The disturbing video evidence reveals the suspect hurling household items into the street, smashing a motorcycle mirror, kicking apart wooden gate panels, and throwing a shoe rack through glass windows. This marked the second such attack in a week, though the earlier incident on August 6 wasn’t recorded.

Soraya, who works at a local bar, told authorities she had only known the man for ten days before cutting off contact, prompting his angry retaliation. After the latest attack, she filed a report at Nong Prue Police Station but claims officers failed to properly investigate, merely providing her with an incident receipt without visiting the scene or collecting evidence.

The bar worker appealed through the media for police to urgently track down and arrest the suspect before the situation escalates further. #domesticviolenceawareness #pattaya #thailand https://t.co/23yV74O9TR

The situation has left the victim terrified in her own home. “I don’t feel safe anymore,” Soraya confessed, adding that the man has been sending her abusive messages through Facebook. Immigration records show the British national entered Thailand on July 17 with an intended August 6 departure, but he remains at large in Pattaya.
