Patong punch-up: Foreign man swings at loud restaurant worker

A foreign man physically assaulted a Thai restaurant worker in the Patong area of Phuket, reportedly due to annoyance at the worker loudly inviting customers into the restaurant.

 

The Phuket Times shared screenshots from CCTV footage of the physical assault today, November 18. However, the exact date of the incident has not been reported.

 

“A foreign tourist acts like a thug, suddenly assaulting a Thai restaurant worker out of annoyance when the victim promoted and invited customers into the shop.”

 

In the screenshots, the foreign attacker, dressed in a white tank top and white trousers, was seen walking along the street outside the restaurant with a foreign woman in a blue dress. The couple held hands and initially appeared to walk past the restaurant.

 

 

However, the foreign man stopped, turned back, and confronted the male restaurant worker. He pushed the worker against a pole outside the restaurant and attacked him. The woman in the blue dress witnessed the incident but did not attempt to intervene.

 

According to Phuket Times, the foreign attacker was allegedly annoyed by the Thai worker’s loud calls to attract passing customers. As no CCTV video has been publicly released, the exact motive for the assault cannot be confirmed.

 

Many Thai netizens urged the restaurant worker to file a complaint with the police to bring the foreign attacker to justice. Others called on the media to provide further details, including a video of the incident, asserting that merely shouting to attract customers should not have led to such violence.

I bet that was a Russian thug! They usually like to overdress their women. Probably some kind of steroid freak on booze.

Maybe the hawker was just saying hello to his own mistress, who was dressed in blue.

I was in Patong not too long ago.

Agressivity is palpable everywhere.

Thais really are stressed out af there.

The town has a terrible vib to it these days.

 

Bangla road sucks @ss now btw.

It's not even a proper redlight district anymore.

More like a sh/tty tourist trap.

 

Hopefully things will get back to normal at some point.

Otherwise I don't think the island as a bright future ahead....

I’ve walked out of a few restaurants due to inconsiderate male Thais.

Playing Youtube videos without earbuds.

Talking & screaming excessively loud when at dinner!

Thai/ falang children being allowed to 

rule the roost , as if it was a playground atmosphere.

 

Best to just walk , you never know

what the natives will pull out on  you, machetes, knives , guns !
