PHUKET: Police on the holiday island of Samui are seeking a Thai man who slashed two Chinese tourists with a cutter when his rape attempt failed early yesterday.
One woman required 45 stitches after the attack and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Thai International Samui Hospital.
Samui police say security camera footage bears out the Chinese women's account of the attack at Chaweng.
The two 26-year-old women, who arrived on Samui on Sunday, went out on the island that night and were walking back to their resort about 2am on Monday.
Security cameras detected a Thai man following them and what's believed to be an attempted rape took place at the women's accommodation.
One woman was slashed on an arm but the other woman was the target of multiple slashes requiring 45 stitches.
The man, aged 20 to 25, escaped with 100,000 baht in cash, a telephone and an iPad.
