    Two British tourists were brutally beaten by a trio of furious
    bouncers outside a bar in Thailand last week
    after a disagreement over the bill saw tensions spill over and lead to a brawl in the street.


    The Brits had been drinking alongside several escorts at the notorious Soi 6 road in red-light city Pattaya on Friday evening when they allegedly began arguing over
    the bill with staff.

    They claimed that the bar had tried to scam them by inflating the receipt, and three security guards
    intervened when the tourists began directing their
    anger at the barmaid.

    After a few minutes of pushing and shoving a
    savage fistfight broke out when the guards snapped and attacked
    two of the men - one in a grey shirt and one in a white shirt
    - dragging them into the street and knocking them both to the
    ground. 

    The guards were seen kicking at the legs and chest of the man in white
    - before another bouncer came running in from the side and blasted
    him in the head with a full-force kick, immediately knocking
    him unconscious. 

    He was seen lying motionless for minutes after the vicious blow,
    with onlookers unable to revive him.

    the barmaid





    After a few minutes of pushing and shoving a brutal scrap broke
    out and spilled into the street





    The man in white was shoved to the ground where bouncers began pounding on him





    A bouncer aims a roundhouse kick at the tourist sitting on the concrete






    The guards ran in to kick at the man in white, booting him in the legs and stomach before one
    guard delivered the final blow





    Moments later the man is seen lying motionless on the
    ground after being punted in the side of the head


    The victim's condition is not known and police today refused to
    give any details of the alleged victim as they scrambled to protect the image of the city,
    which relies on tourism.

    Footage from another angle showed how his compatriot in the grey shirt was also
    briefly knocked unconscious by another bouncer, who kicked him in the
    jaw as he tried to stand up after being tackled to the ground.


    That bouncer can be seen walking away with a bloody nose.  

    Speaking today, Sergeant Major Arthon from the Pattaya City police station, said that the three security
    guards have since been warned about their conduct but they have not been arrested or charged.


    He said: 'The tourist in the video who was attacked has
    not filed a police report, so we cannot assign an investigating officer.
    There's no case open until they complain. We've had a look around but can't find them.


    'Yes, we're still checking CCTV to see what happened to them.
    There are rumours that he is in intensive care but we haven't heard anything from
    hospitals.'

    One of the sex workers from the bar where the incident unfolded said
    that the group of three men disputed their drinks bill, which came to around 2,8000 Baht (£60).


    Bar hostess Samorn, 38, said that the three men had paid for two escorts to
    drink with them.

    She said: 'Two of the tourists had paid their bills, but another had not and
    changed his seat several times.

    'I asked them to pay the bill, but the tourist in the white shirt argued that he had already
    paid. I explained that the money I was asking for
    was the payment of someone who had not paid and not his own bill.


    'They insulted me and said the bar was trying to scam them,
    so I called the security over and told them the tourist would not pay his
    bill.'

    CCTV shows how the bills were settled but the tourist in a white t-shirt then pushed a security guard
    and the fight escalated.




    Two of the men - one in a grey shirt and one in a white shirt - were knocked to the ground





    The other man in the grey shirt was held down and smashed in the head several times






    One lady from the bar tries to intervene and calm the security guard intent on attacking
    the man in grey





    Footage from another angle showed how his compatriot in the grey shirt was also briefly knocked unconscious by another bouncer, who kicked
    him in the jaw as he tried to stand up after being tackled to the ground





    The second tourist is seen coming to after being attacked

    Police Colonel Nawin Thirawit, superintendent of Pattaya Police Station, said today
    that the bouncers' actions had tarnished the image of Pattaya.


    They were invited to the police station and apologised for 'damaging the image of the country'.


    The policeman said: 'The security guards should have prevented the incident and reported it to the police.


    'Anyone who works in this industry must keep their emotions in check and focus on preventing incidents rather than attacking people.



    'Cases like this can damage the reputation of the city and deter tourists
    from visiting.'

    Helicopter Bar, which is understood to have British owners, did not respond to requests for comment.
    Several other bars on the same street are also owned and managed by the company Nightwish Group.


    Pattaya emerged as a nightlife destination in the
    1960s when Thailand fought alongside the United
    States and provided them with land for eight military bases,
    allowing the massacre of North Vietnam and the deaths of
    two million civilians in the 1950s and 1960s.

    In between killing missions, American GIs would have debauched 'rest
    and relaxation' leave in the coastal enclave,
    leading to a raucous nightlife industry that has endured to
    this day.

    Thailand received at least $1.7 billion dollars from the US for its support and also profited from the nascent tourism industry serving more than 50,
    000 'yanks'.
