Thai police arrested a young British man for destroying property at a 7-Eleven convenience store in the Pathumwan district of Bangkok, Thailand, on Monday at 3am.

In a bizarre TikTok clip filmed by a European onlooker, the British tourist picks up various items inside the 7-Eleven and launches them at the door in an attempt to smash the glass.

Although the bewildered employees had already exited the store out of fear for their safety, the door was not locked. The tourist proceeded to destroy property, and after failing to smash through the glass, he realised the door was not locked, slid it open himself, and exited the store.

 

The tourist filming the clip, who says he doesn’t know the perpetrator, asks, “Why are you doing this man?” but the tourist doesn’t reply and walks off into the night with a blank face.

7-Elevens seem to be a magnet for more than a fair share of foreign troublemakers.

How terribly disgusting.  30 days in the worst Bangkok prison and a 10 year ban is about right.

I suspect this young beer monster fell foul of 7/11's ridiculous alcohol serving hours. I drink about 2 beers a year and still nearly had a fit when they refused to serve me at 1 minute past 2 oclock or whenever it was.

That was no

Drink, drugs, mental issues, it's a lottery these days.

It's not 7/11's policy.  It is a nationwide law.

If you want to buy alcohol during non sale hours try mom and pop places.

He hardly did any damage, 500bht should cover it.

Threw 2 trays of sweets on the ground, that was about it.

Seemed to have mental problems, I would suggest hospital rather than jail.

[rwill]

Well the video only shows what he did after he thought he was locked in the store.  I wonder what he was doing beforehand to cause the employees to run out.

I just just called out the Chinese for being bad tourists. We’re not all the same lol, and this scumbag should be sent back to his council estate and banned for life. Embarrassment!

[sammieuk1]

That looked like a Tik-Dik-head vid to me can't wait for next Tik-Dock-Jail coming very soon ????

Thailand wanted the tourists back, here ya go! Gotta take the bad with the good.

Hospital admissions of Thais suffering from paranoia, irrational behaviour etc attributed to the use of weed have rocketed by 500% since decriminalisation of weed.
