CCTV footage captured a violent brawl between two transgender individuals at a Pattaya beer bar, shocking passing tourists in the city some call a world-class family friendly resort city.

The incident was captured on CCTV footage from a beer bar on Pattaya Central Road Sai 2. Two transgender individuals were seen pulling each other’s hair and slapping each other in full view of passing tourists. The incident occurred on February 15th, 2025, at 10:30 PM, but recently went viral on Thai social media.

On February 22nd, The Pattaya News reporters visited the bar in the video and spoke with Teerawat, a transgender woman from Saraburi who works part-time at the establishment and was one of the individuals in the footage. According to Teerawat, she was the victim of an unprovoked attack.

Teerawat recounted that on the night of the incident, she was playing pool with her foreign boyfriend when a mysterious ice cube suddenly fell to the ground near her. Looking around to identify the source, she noticed Bella, a 24-year-old transgender woman, sitting at a nearby bar. Bella was an old friend of hers and had previously been romantically involved with Teerawat’s boyfriend.

Teerawat claimed that Bella then began to verbally taunt her. Despite the provocations, Teerawat ignored them until Bella approached her, twirling her hair before suddenly yanking it. A fierce brawl followed, with both individuals exchanging blows until bystanders stepped in, as captured in the CCTV footage.

Following the altercation, Teerawat filed a police report at Pattaya Police Station. She alleged that Bella is part of a notorious group of transgender individuals known for using violence in the city. Teerawat also claimed she received threatening phone calls from senior members of the group, which warned her to “Watch your back.” Given these threats, Teerawat planned to file an additional report for harassment.

The Pattaya News reporters also visited a nearby beer bar where Bella had been employed part-time. “Pae,” a 28-year-old bar manager, revealed that Bella was immediately dismissed after the incident due to inappropriate behavior that scared away customers.

“Roddup,” a 29-year-old security guard for the nearby bar, stated that on the night of the fight, he was called to break up a “transgender brawl.” He later learned that Bella belonged to a group banned from the area due to their history of using violence against anyone they disliked.

Businesses in the area are urging police to investigate the matter.
