A Pattaya teenager was arrested for putting a gun to the head of
a transvestite who publicly embarrassed him.
Police arrived at the scene behind the Mae La-Orr Market on Soi
Chaiyapruek around 2 a.m. Jan. 21 to find Oatthawut Meksin, 18, holding
the 38-caliber handgun to the head of Phuttarat Nukulwong, 23.
After convincing the teen not to pull the trigger, police said Oatthawut
told them he “lost face” in front of his friends when the ladyboy talked
provocatively to him. Oatthawut said his friends accused him falsely of
being homosexual.
He was only charged with possession of illegal weapons and bullets.
