webfact Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 A violent clash erupted among employees of the same company in Patong, Phuket, after work hours, drawing attention and concern toward the tourist city’s image. The brawl, which took place in the middle of a busy roundabout, was captured in a 1-minute 28-second video and shared on social media, sparking a mix of comments ranging from calls for calm to nostalgia for the quieter days of the Covid-19 pandemic. The incident occurred at the Dolphin Circle in Patong Beach, Kathu District, where a group of men engaged in a fierce street fight using weapons, as tourists driving by witnessed the altercation. One individual suffered a serious head injury and was taken to Patong Hospital. Officers from Patong Police Station intervened, detaining about ten people for further investigation to determine the cause of the dispute before proceeding with legal action. Upon examination, it was found that the two parties involved in the social media video were employees of the same company, which had internal conflicts during work. After finishing work, while driving behind each other, an exchange of abusive words led to a rear-end collision near Kalim Circle. The confrontation escalated as both parties got out of their vehicles and physically attacked each other with weapons. When police arrived at the scene, they found one injured person sitting at the location with a severe head injury, reported KhaoSod. The Kusoldharm Foundation was summoned to transport the injured to Patong Hospital and took both parties to Patong Police Station for investigation and legal proceedings. In related news, a violent clash between motorbike taxi riders and a taxi driver near North Pattaya’s bus station was caught on camera on Sunday, March 10. In a dramatic video obtained by reporters, the chaos unfolded as motorbike taxi riders, donning their signature orange vests, unleash a barrage of blows on the hapless taxi driver, with his terrified passengers looking on. by Nattapong Westwood Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger 2024-03-20 - Discover how Cigna Insurance can protect you with a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment.

I hope the employer conveys a message that they don't need to come to work any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
