PATTAYA – A violent altercation at a popular nightclub in South Pattaya left three security guards stabbed and injured, with two in serious condition, late on December 28.

Police and rescue teams were called to the venue at 11:49 p.m. after reports of a stabbing. Upon arrival, officers learned that three guards had already been transported to the hospital with knife wounds. A Chinese man was also found injured at the scene, reportedly hurt during the confrontation.

According to witness accounts from staff and security personnel, the violence erupted after an earlier dispute inside the club. A group of three or four Chinese men, who had been drinking, were involved in an incident where one individual—referred to as “the boss”—allegedly grabbed and slapped a Thai woman on the buttocks in the middle of the venue. After guards intervened and asked the group to leave, the men reacted angrily, issuing threats and claiming to be part of a call center scam gang. They warned they would return with weapons for revenge.

Oh yeah, apparently the attackers were tourists.
