Chaos unfolded near the EDC Thailand 2026 festival in Phuket as a foreign man was spotted rolling on a busy road, nearly causing a traffic accident. The incident, captured on video by PhuketTimes, took place on the Ban Don-Cherngtalay Road, in the Thalang district, sparking outrage and laughter across social media.

The video, just 12 seconds long, shows the man appearing disoriented and rolling on the street in the midst of heavy traffic. A friend quickly intervened to help him off the road. This dramatic scene occurred on the night of January 17, 2026, and has since ignited a storm of online comments questioning what might have led to such behaviour.

PhuketTimes captioned the clip with a cheeky note: "EDC shows us everything! What was he on? #Phuket". Social media users have flooded the post with a mix of humorous and critical remarks. Reactions ranged from jokes about possible intoxication to concerns about the man’s impact on local traffic safety, highlighting the event's disruptive potential.

As festival-goers and locals alike absorb the aftermath, the question remains how such incidents might affect future public attitudes and safety measures at large events like EDC. Amarin TV reported that authorities have not yet commented on the specific incident, and it is unclear if any legal action will follow.
