“中国人伪装韩国人在泰国打架”？警方最新回应

多名韩国游客近日在泰国一餐厅互殴，引发韩、泰媒体关注。然而，中国人却在这起事件中无辜“躺枪”。7月20日，“韩国人装中国人在泰国打架”词条登上微博热搜。

A recent incident in Thailand has sparked widespread discussion and debate, both within the country and internationally, after initial reports and circulating videos suggested that South Koreans were impersonating Chinese individuals while fighting in a restaurant in Pattaya. However, Thai police investigations have since confirmed that all four individuals involved in the altercation were South Korean nationals, with no Chinese participation.

据观察者网等媒体援引韩国《每日经济》消息，近期在泰国、越南等地，部分韩国人发生群殴或殴打当地人等丑闻接连发生。7月11日，泰国芭堤雅一家餐厅内，多名韩国游客发生群体斗殴。

社交媒体流传的视频显示，当天，多名男子互相扭打，引发肢体冲突，其中多人赤裸上身、遍体纹身。事件导致餐厅顾客惊慌逃离，场面混乱。

据悉，当地警方逮捕了4名涉事韩国游客，调查显示冲突系聚餐时口角引发。餐厅向斗殴者索赔10万泰铢（约合人民币2.3万元），涉事游客已支付赔偿。警方以“公共场所斗殴”罪名对4人提起诉讼，处以罚款后释放。

The incident stemmed from a dinner among four South Korean tourists at a hotpot restaurant in Pattaya, which turned violent, prompting a police response. Officers from Pattaya City Police detained the group after an internal dispute escalated into a physical altercation. The restaurant demanded 100,000 baht for the unpaid meal and compensation from those involved in the brawl, and it is reported that they complied with the restaurant's request.

值得注意的是，该事件的涉事者一度被误导为中国人。

最初部分泰国自媒体宣称该事件是“中国游客互殴”，后修正为“中韩游客冲突”。韩国媒体宣称“中国人伪装韩国人打架以抹黑韩国”，引发舆论争议。

泰国警方最终调查确认，涉事4人均为韩国籍游客，无中国人参与，斗殴系韩国游客内部矛盾引发。
