Paul Cros, a 64-year-old British expat from Bristol, operates Trump Tower Thailand, a beach bar dedicated to former U.S. President Donald Trump, in Jomtien Beach, near Pattaya, Thailand. Since launching the bar in August 2022, he has encountered multiple verbal and physical assaults due to his outspoken pro-Trump views, including an incident where an American tourist spat at him. Despite these challenges, Cros remains unapologetic, stating, "I am pro Trump and pro America." He reports that many locals and tourists, particularly Russians, enjoy his bar, often buying him drinks and taking photos with him. Cros has lived in Thailand since 2006 and has previously managed two other bars. He views Trump Tower Thailand as his final venture, especially after his divorce, and has raised thousands of dollars for local charities. He believes his bar is unique, claiming it to be a place where no topic is off-limits and where even Democrats are welcome.
