I was going to say Indian, but on the other hand could be from Bradford.....

From the effeminate girly shrieks, I'd put a few Baht on 'Indian' with British passport.

I think the manager in the white shirt could be in a spot of trouble for seriously assaulting the customer, who appeared to fall to the floor ?

Maybe Pakistani and did like her huge growler.

Dark suntanned Thai farmer. White shirt probably works for free in exchange of free food. Quality is not an issue for the big guy.

Dude in the white shirt is going to town ! 😄

How adorable with that belly hanging low and the Mr Thai Porky with no strength to punch a balloon.
