Dutch Tourist Throws Objects at Thai Café Staff Over Change Dispute

A Dutch tourist named Max, 59, caused a scene at Udon Thani's Sky Blue café, throwing a fan and ashtrays at staff over a 130-baht change dispute. The altercation occurred after Max, unaware that his friend had pocketed the change as a joke, accused the staff of short-changing him. CCTV captured the drunken outburst, injuring two staff members. Police intervened, and Max expressed regret for his actions. Both parties are set to negotiate compensation, with Max’s Thai wife assessing the damages. The café owner urged Max to respect Thai laws and resolve the issue peacefully.
