PATTAYA, Thailand – Five Indian tourists have filed a police complaint after alleging they were assaulted and forced to hand over money by a group they met near Pattaya Beach, with the men telling Pattaya City Police that around 24,000 baht in cash was missing after an alleged confrontation at a hotel in North Pattaya. A Thai guide accompanied the five men to Pattaya City Police Station in Chon Buri at 7.20pm on 14 September 2026, with all tourists being Indian nationals.

According to the guide, the group had been relaxing and walking along Pattaya Beach near the entrance to Walking Street on the beach road side when they met a group of Thai people. After speaking together, they agreed to travel to a hotel in North Pattaya. The tourists said that after they went up to a hotel room, the group they had met invited another two or three people inside.

A disturbance then allegedly broke out, with the visitors claiming they were physically attacked, objects thrown and force used against them, before being threatened and made to hand over money. The group then left the hotel, and the five tourists later checked their belongings and said cash totalling about 24,000 baht had gone missing. However, the complainants said they could not confirm whether the people they met and brought to the room were women or lady boys.

The guide said the tourists feared the experience could affect confidence in Pattaya, a major Thai tourism destination.
