An Indian tourist was violently assaulted by two ladyboys in front of the Rich Club on the famous Chaweng Beach Road in Koh Samui. The incident, which occurred at night, sparked a heated controversy with nearly 2000 comments on a Facebook video.
The incident occurred at night, probably during the weekend, on the Chaweng Beach Road, in front of the Rich Club, in the heart of the nightclub area. An Indian tourist was accosted by two ladyboys who beat him with sticks and then with a brick.
The video shared on Facebook, also captured by several surveillance cameras according to internet users, shows that one of the attackers struck the victim on the head with a brick. Witnesses describe a particularly violent scene in which the attackers continued to beat the man on the ground despite the intervention of passers-by.
Reactions on social media are very divided. Some denounce an attempted murder, while others believe the ladyboys were simply trying to protect their friend from an aggressive tourist. Many comments, however, highlight that using a brick constitutes disproportionate violence.
