He is reported to have gone to the area – popular with Brits – after arriving in Thailand on Sunday morning.
He allegedly got into an argument with staff at the Silver Star Agogo on Soi 7 about the appearance of their nude dancers.
Police found the victim sprawled on the ground shirtless and covered in blood at 3.30am local time.
The holidaymaker had several cuts on his face, and claims they were inflicted by up to ten men who attacked him.
He said he had been drinking inside the bar when he complained to the brothel madam that the ”girls looked younger than your daughter”.
He was shocked that they were ”dancing in the nude” and raised the complaint with staff, alleging that the women were not old enough to work there.
The man said: ”The security guards threw me out then about ten men all jumped on me.
“They were kicking and punching me.”
Paramedics took the man to hospital, where he was bandaged up.
‘WE WILL FIND PERPETRATORS’
Police took his details and have vowed to investigate the incident.
Colonel Thanaphong Phnothi from Pattaya Police said: ”The bar was closed when officers arrived last night so we have returned there this morning.
”We will check CCTV and interview the staff from the bar to find out exactly what happened.
”This is an incident that I’m not comfortable with, as it risks the safety of tourists visiting the city and could damage the area’s image.
”We will coordinate with the tourist police and collect the evidence necessary to arrest those who attacked the man.
