There is confusion over what really happened when two groups of Chinese Tour Guides, some legal and others unlicensed, came to blows at a restaurant close to a popular North Pattaya Hotel catering for Chinese Tourists, in the early hours of Friday.

Police were called to the restaurant located next to the Chonchan Resort on the Sukhumvit Road in North Pattaya just before 1.30am. At the scene was an injured tour guide, Khun Somjit aged 25, who works for the VLC Tour Company. His injuries were consistent with a punch to the face. He confirmed he had been in a fight with another group of guides over the loudness of music they were playing at the Restaurant. A fight spilled outside the restaurant onto the street and moments later a car pulled up and a man armed with a gun allegedly fired at Khun Somjit and his friends and the shooter then held a gun to the head of a Chinese Tourist also at the restaurant. This led to over 20 Chinese Tourists deciding to checkout from the Hotel as they feared for their lives. - See more at: http://www.pattayaone.net/pattaya-news/ ... a9fTB.dpuf
