TWO WOMEN working at a beer bar filed a complaint against a Western engineer at Pattaya City police station this afternoon (Apr. 7) for beating them up in a row over a bill and submitted a surveillance camera clip to support their accusation, TV Channel 7 said this evening.
Ms. Anchisa, 55, manager of the beer bar, and Ms. Warunee, 39, a general employee, told police that at 2 a.m. today a German man and his Thai wife came to their bar to drink beer. When they finished a bill was given to him but he refused to pay saying they had overcharged him and that he did not drink that much.
They then tried to explain the bill to him, with this totalling around one thousand baht, but he refused to listen and then attacked them.
They alleged that the engineer had pushed and slapped them as well as pulled their hair and held them to the ground then pulled them both out to the middle of the road. There were cars passing by but no one came to help them.
The foreigner’s Thai wife also did not step in to stop him beating them up. However a policeman showed up and immediately took him to the station on a charge of drunk and disorderly behaviour.
Anchisa said the foreigner’s Thai wife had told her that when her husband was heavily drunk after consuming more than six bottles of beer he did not listen to anyone.
She asked police to investigate whether the foreigner, who works as an engineer in Laem Chabang port, had previously behaved in this disorderly manner and beaten up others.
She added that she will be taking full legal action against him.
