No Money No Honey: Indian Tourist Attacked by Transgender Women in Pattaya Over Alleged Escort Payment Dispute
The Indian national was hospitalised after a violent altercation in Pattaya’s Walking Street area, prompting police investigation and fresh safety concerns for tourists.
An Indian tourist was hospitalised after allegedly being assaulted by a group of transgender women in Pattaya, Thailand, following a dispute linked to payment for escort services. The incident, which took place in the early hours of December 27 near the popular Walking Street area, has drawn widespread attention after a video surfaced online.
According to reports, rescue staff from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation responded to an emergency call at around 5.30 am and found the injured man lying near the roadside close to the beachside entrance. The victim was identified as 52-year-old Indian national Raj Jasuja, who sustained visible injuries to his face and the back of his head. He was provided immediate first aid before being shifted to a hospital for further treatment.
A local witness told police that the incident began with a heated argument between the Indian tourist and a transgender sex worker near the Walking Street entrance. The disagreement reportedly escalated quickly, with both parties chasing and physically attacking each other in public view.
According to the witness, the transgender woman later contacted several friends, who soon arrived at the location. The group allegedly joined the confrontation and assaulted the tourist together. Authorities believe the conflict was triggered by a disagreement over money, as the tourist allegedly failed to pay the full amount that had been agreed upon earlier.
Thai police officials said the injured man has not made any public statement regarding the incident so far. Officers stated that his formal complaint would be recorded once he recovers fully, after which a detailed legal investigation will be initiated. Police are currently gathering witness accounts and reviewing available CCTV footage from the area to establish the sequence of events.
The video footage circulating online shows a chaotic scene on a busy street, with several individuals involved in the altercation. The visuals have sparked concern among viewers and renewed debate around tourist safety in nightlife-heavy zones of Pattaya.
Authorities noted that similar incidents involving Indian tourists and transgender sex workers have been reported in Pattaya in recent months. In earlier cases, disputes over payment and allegations of inappropriate behaviour reportedly led to physical attacks and theft. Police confirmed that investigations into such incidents are ongoing.

Pattaya’s Walking Street is one of Thailand’s most popular tourist destinations, known for its nightlife and heavy footfall, especially during peak travel seasons. While local authorities have repeatedly assured safety for visitors, incidents like these have raised questions about late-night security and dispute handling in crowded entertainment areas.
Police have urged tourists to exercise caution, avoid confrontations, and report disputes immediately to authorities rather than engaging in physical altercations. Further action in this case is expected once the victim’s statement is formally recorded.
