Canadian Family Involved in Domestic Violence Incident in Phuket

PHUKET — Neighbors alerted police early Saturday after a reported domestic violence incident involving a Canadian family in Phuket, authorities said.

Pol. Lt. Nattaphon Phumlueamkhit, an investigator at Chalong Police Station, said officers were notified at about 12:30 a.m. on December 21 of an assault at a home on Sai Yuan 11 Road in Rawai, in Phuket’s Mueang district.

Police found a 6-year-old Canadian girl injured inside the house. A neighbor, identified only as a foreign national, told officers he had taken the girl’s 13-year-old brother to Dibuk Hospital after the boy sought help, saying their mother had attacked him and his younger sister.

Blood stains are visible in the living room of a Canadian family’s home following a domestic violence incident in Phuket on Dec. 21, 2025.

Around the same time, police said they received a separate report from a Good Samaritan about a foreign woman with self-inflicted abdominal injuries who was behaving incoherently. Patrol officers detained the woman, later identified as a 45-year-old Canadian and the mother of the two children.

Officers inspecting the residence found sharp knives believed to have been used in the incident, along with blood stains throughout the house, particularly in a downstairs bathroom where the injured girl had reportedly hidden.

Police coordinated with the Khaimuk Center to transport the girl and her mother to Chalong Hospital. Officers are monitoring their conditions and said further questioning will take place once they are medically stable. Authorities are also coordinating with relevant agencies to provide assistance, police said.
