Chonburi — A drinking session between a Thai man and a Myanmar man turned violent after a language barrier led to a heated argument that erupted into a physical assault, leaving both injured. The incident occurred on November 2, 2026, in Soi Krom Thodin 2, Moo 10, Nong Prue subdistrict, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province.
The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Pattaya Rescue Center received a report of a brawl with two injured parties. Rescue volunteers coordinated with Pattaya City Police and rushed to the scene, where they found a large group of workers gathered. The first victim, a 40-year-old Thai man, had a stab wound to his left arm from a sharp object. The second victim, 25-year-old Myanmar national Ton, suffered a slash wound to the neck from a sharp weapon. Rescue workers administered first aid before transporting both to hospital.
According to preliminary questioning, the two men had been drinking together when a conversation they could not understand due to the language barrier turned loud and aggressive, eventually leading to a physical attack that caused their injuries. Pattaya City Police are preparing to summon both parties for detailed statements to determine the cause and facts of the incident before proceeding with legal action.
