PATTAYA, Thailand – Panic briefly erupted along Walking Street Pattaya in the early hours of May 28 after a foreign tourist allegedly caused a disturbance inside a well-known entertainment venue, sending people scrambling as police rushed to contain the situation. At approximately 3:49 a.m., patrol officers conducting foot patrols in the busy nightlife district noticed the tourist suddenly running out of the venue amid confusion and alarm from people nearby.
City patrol officers quickly moved in and locked the individual down while waiting for police to arrive and secure the situation. Security guards from the venue told officers that the tourist had allegedly been behaving aggressively inside the establishment and reportedly attempted to attack security personnel, prompting staff to force him out of the premises. According to updated information heard in video footage circulating online, the incident may have been linked to an alleged unpaid bill inside the venue. Witnesses in the clip could also be heard as the tourist repeatedly shouted “English Embassy” while fleeing through the crowded street, adding to the confusion among tourists and bystanders.
Authorities said the situation was brought under control within minutes, preventing injuries or further disruption in one of Pattaya’s busiest nightlife zones, which remained crowded with visitors at the time of the incident.
