Husband Attacks Wife At Massage Shop In Chonburi

A shocking incident occurred at a health massage shop in Plu Ta Luang Subdistrict, Sattahip District, Chonburi Province, when a husband assaulted his wife—a massage therapist—by choking her, forcing bathroom cleaning solution into her mouth, and using an electrical current to shock her before consuming the chemical himself. Both sustained serious injuries. Fortunately, the shop owner was monitoring security cameras, spotted the abnormal activity, and quickly called friends and neighbors for help.

CCTV footage from the shop shows that Chalat Kwanjoo, 57, arrived at the massage shop to meet his wife Phayao Kwanjoo, 48, who works as a therapist. He was carrying a backpack and clothes. The footage also shows that Phayao had called friends and the shop owner, complaining that her husband had come to find her and expressing worry about accommodations, since two new massage therapists were arriving to work and would need to share sleeping quarters in the shop.

Phayao then walked to the back of the shop before Chalat followed her and closed the rear door. He then choked his wife until she lost consciousness, exited, and locked the front door from inside before returning to assault her again. This time he used an electrical current to shock her and forced bathroom cleaning solution into her mouth, then drank the chemical himself.

While the assault was happening, the shop owner—monitoring the security cameras and noticing something wrong—quickly called friends and neighbors for help. When they arrived, they found both of them unconscious inside the shop and immediately called emergency responders and police. Both were rushed to the hospital in critical condition. Police will conduct a detailed investigation once both victims are stable enough to provide statements, after which legal proceedings will follow.
