A fight broke out during a lively concert in Pattaya, leaving one man injured and raising questions over safety, noise, and event management in the area.
The incident unfolded on Soi Khao Talo yesterday, October 3, where a festive local morlam (Isaan music) event, known for its thumping music and energetic crowd, was taking place. Amid the pounding bass and flashing lights, a group of young men launched a vicious attack on a lone individual, with the shocking assault caught on video.
In the clip, a man dressed in a black shirt and shorts is seen being tackled to the ground by three men, believed to be between 20 and 25 years old. The attackers pinned him by the neck and delivered repeated punches to his face, ignoring desperate shouts from onlookers urging them to stop. The situation escalated until blood was visibly dripping from the victim’s face.
A fourth man eventually stepped in to defend the injured victim, confronting the assailants. The trio backed off when they realised they were outnumbered. Due to the overpowering music blaring in the background, no dialogue from the scene is audible.
So far, reporters have been unable to reach either the victim or the attackers for comment. The motive behind the violent confrontation remains unclear. Online speculation suggests it may have stemmed from a personal argument or drunken misunderstanding, but no official explanation has been confirmed.
The video has drawn strong reactions from the public. Netizens expressed outrage over the lack of security and criticised the event organisers for inadequate crowd control. Some residents took aim at the overwhelming noise levels, claiming the music caused physical discomfort and sleep disruption.
“The music is so loud it shakes the walls—we can’t rest, and now this chaos on top of it,” one frustrated resident commented.
Concerns have also been raised about the concert’s close proximity to a hospital, located less than 500 metres away, with critics questioning the impact on emergency services, reported The Pattaya News.
As of now, Pattaya officials have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident. Locals are demanding answers and action.
