A Chinese man called rescuers to help his friend after accidentally running his car over him outside a hotel in Pattaya, telling authorities that he did not see the victim. Rescuers from the Sawang Boriboon Dhammastan Rescue Foundation rushed to a hotel in the Jomtien area of Pattaya to assist the victim, a 40 year old Chinese man whose name has not been disclosed. The vehicle belonged to the victim’s 36 year old Chinese friend, who was reportedly in a state of shock and visibly shaking at the scene. The Chinese driver was taken to the police station for questioning and legal proceedings. A similar fatal incident was reported in Pattaya in 2023, when an Australian woman ran over a Thai man who was working at the entrance of a condominium.
