Tourist Brawl in Phuket Sparks Debate on Visitor Behavior

A viral video of a street brawl outside Café del Mar in Kamala, Phuket, has sparked debate over tourist behavior on the island. The 1-minute, 37-second clip shows intoxicated foreign tourists fighting, with one attempting to break a bottle over another’s head and another being repeatedly kicked while on the ground. The incident has fueled criticism of Thailand’s visa policies, with some blaming leniency for attracting disruptive visitors. Others argue such behavior isn’t exclusive to Phuket. Local police are reviewing the footage and have pledged legal action against those involved.
