White Tourist Brutally Assaults 10-Year-Old Thai Boy Over 29 Cents

CCTV footage reveals the man in a blue t-shirt who was asking to use a private toilet in the red light district of Bangla Road in Phuket at 3:50 a.m. local time on May 3. The man was reportedly accompanied by two women with blonde hair.

The boy, identified as Abdull Seesa, works as an attendant at the private toilet for “extra pocket money” by charging 10 baht per customer.

In the video, the man is seen conversing with Seesa but quickly becomes visibly aggressive when he hears of the 29 cent charge. Seesa looks on his phone as the man approaches from behind to take his phone from him and slaps him in the head. As Seesa retreats, the man continues to yell at and push him, landing a punch as the 10-year-old. Another individual attempts to stop the man who eventually runs away.

Tohee Seesa, Abdull’s father, is now offering a 5,000 baht ($145) for any information leading to the capture of the tourist who remains unidentified.

While the tourist’s nationality was not determined, he was described as being in his “30s or 40s” and spoke English.
