A British tourist was slashed in the head by a group of four transgender women in Pattaya, Thailand, after he rejected their services for companionship.
The 65-year-old man, identified as Mr Duncan, had allegedly requested the services of two women at his condominium apartment, reports Thai news outlet Khaosod.
But when four transgender women turned up instead, he refused their offer — sparking a dispute that escalated into a knife attack.
Despite Mr Duncan’s refusal, the transgender women refused to leave and demanded 10,000 baht (S$400) each, totalling 40,000 baht (S$1,600).
