Grenade attack on popular pub in North Pattaya.
A unit from the Royal Thai Navy Bomb Disposal Unit was called to the Bitchy Pub on Pattaya Third Road on Sunday Morning by Police Lieutenant Colonel Tirasak from Pattaya Police Station who was alerted to an unexploded hand grenade which had been discovered in the toilets of the pub. The discovery was made by Khun Sanyar aged 32, a staff member who lives at the location. She woke up and went to use the toilet and discovered the grenade which was sitting underneath a urinal in the menтАЩs toilet. There was evidence of a hole in the roof and the pin which had already been removed was found just outside the venue. The item was made safe and removed by a bomb disposal team who mentioned that they were extremely lucky the device did not explode. Police theorize the grenade was thrown into the premises during the night and the person or persons who threw it did not intend to kill anyone but instead wanted to cause extensive damage to the venue. For now the attack remains a mystery however theoryтАЩs regarding a dispute with a rival business are currently being investigated. For now, the attack is surely going to effect trade at this venue which attracts large amounts of customers on a daily basis.
