Has there been a follow-up story  what caused the anger, was he arrested.

There was a photo on Facebook of him sleeping it off (whatever it was) in a police cell, and stating that his family have left the country. "He was taken to the Karon Police Station to face charges of public intoxication, causing a public disturbance, resisting law officers by doing an act of violence or threats, and causing property damage."

Give him the taste of a Thai prison cell for 3 months then deport him and blacklist him for 3 years.

putin’s sheep all of them always heroes when outside of russia and with booze in their veins

And now some "I know the lawyer", "I can help you" "I can speak thai to police" helping expats will appear near the cell. 

My bet their "services" will set him of at least for 100K min. Plus "lawyer's fees" and "fines" ...

The tumultuous episode was captured in a video that's quickly gone viral on X,

 

I can only hope they have X in Russia, so his parents and eventual friends can enjoy this.

a Russian tourist found himself in a peculiar standoff with local authorities while clad in nothing but his underwear.

 

Maybe the government should reconsider the visa on arrival thing?

Someone that big and agitated means three wordsL Taser, Taser and Taser.  Do police in Phuket have Tasers?  If Tasers have no effect then the next step would be to draw, establish a good shooting stance, aim and "front sight and squeeze".  

Ideally at three rounds at center mass. Doubt talking to him will settle the matter. 

He would have been shot dead pulling that stunt in America. Witnessed the same before the Thai cop with a gun just ran off left us with this drunk FREAK to deal with on our own.

So if as you say the Russians are so skint, then why the hell does Thailand want them here so bad?

 

It's not for their charming personalities, surely?

 

They are buying up property. The leadership of Thai, particularly the previous PM, own property companies.

Why do you not see these crazy tourists in other countries like Malaysia, Dubai, Korea etc ?

 

Thailands open border visa policy is to blame.
