Police are urgently pursuing "Fuengfa," an LGBTQ woman from the whitening cream gang, who fled after assaulting a German man. She then allegedly stole 20,000 baht from a Korean man at a pool villa and pretended to be possessed by a spirit to avoid suspicion.
The case involves Mr. Marcus, 55, a German tourist who was assaulted by an LGBTQ group near the Pattaya beach in Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province. The incident began when the tourist took two LGBTQ women to his hotel room. After realizing they were not biological women, he asked them to leave. Shortly after, he discovered nearly 100,000 baht in cash was missing from his room. When he tried to recover the money, he was attacked by the group and injured. Police have arrested four suspects so far, with two still at large, including one named "Fuengfa."
The latest update (25 Feb 2026) on the suspects still at large reveals that after the LGBTQ group assaulted the German tourist around midnight on 24 Feb, about two and a half hours later, around 3 a.m., one of the two remaining suspects named "Fuengfa" —notable for applying whitening cream all over her body—was involved in another incident. She caused a disturbance and damaged property inside a pool villa house in Huay Yai subdistrict, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province.
This incident occurred at 03:53 a.m. on 24 Feb. Mr. Kim, 46, and two Korean friends invited three LGBTQ individuals from Pattaya South beach, including "Fuengfa," who is suspected of assaulting the German tourist, to a pool villa in Moo 1, Huay Yai subdistrict, Bang Lamung district, Chonburi province. While drinking at the villa, Mr. Kim noticed that 20,000 baht in cash was missing and asked the LGBTQ group if they had seen it.
While Mr. Kim was searching for the missing money, "Fuengfa" suddenly exhibited erratic behavior resembling a psychotic episode. She shouted loudly, threw objects, and wielded a pool cue threatening to harm anyone approaching. At times, she collapsed to the floor, writhing, then took out her phone to film videos as if mentally unstable. She also ran outside, climbed onto a wall, and screamed loudly, frightening the Korean group and LGBTQ friends. Afterwards, "Fuengfa" fled. Mr. Kim and his friends reported the incident to Police Lieutenant Colonel Patcharak Suriyas, an investigator at Huay Yai police station, submitting the partial video footage they recorded.
Police compared video footage of the LGBTQ group assaulting the German tourist with videos taken by the Korean victim and found that the transgender suspect named "Fuengfa" appears in both clips with very similar characteristics. Authorities from Pattaya City and Huay Yai police stations are cooperating to track down "Fuengfa" for further investigation.
