Brit tourist knifed in fight with Patong ladyboys over price
PHUKET: A 23-year-old British tourist suffered a knife injury amid a fight with three Patong ladyboys over money at a condo in Karon early this morning (Feb 22).
Officers were told that the British man had contacted three ladyboys, or <em>katoey</em> in Thai, from Patong to come to his condo. The ladyboys had agreed for B4,000 each.
However, when the three arrived at about 3am, the British man gave only one of them B2,000 and told the other two to go away.
That’s when the fight started, along with a struggle for the British man’s wallet.
According to one version of events, the British man started hitting the three ladyboys, despite confirmation that the ladyboys had started throwing things around the room, and breaking them.
