A Qatari tourist is accused of injuring five people during a violent outburst that began inside a cannabis shop in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan, before spilling onto the street and ending with members of the public restraining him.

The incident took place on the evening of 26 July and prompted a response from Hua Hin Police. Witnesses said the man damaged property, assaulted shop staff and attacked several people nearby, including a disabled flower seller using a wheelchair.

Violence spread beyond the shop

A 20-year-old witness, Sujitra, who recorded video of the incident, told reporters she was working in a nearby nail salon when she heard shouting from the cannabis shop across the road.

She said she then saw the foreign man violently assaulting another man before turning on a motorcyclist who had arrived to collect his girlfriend. The suspect then allegedly grabbed flowers from a wheelchair-bound woman selling them on the street corner and punched her in the face, causing her to fall from her wheelchair.

According to witnesses, the man continued to another nearby restaurant before several members of the public intervened. It reportedly took five people to restrain him due to his large build while they waited for police to arrive.

Shop employee says attack was unprovoked

One of the injured cannabis shop employees said he had finished work and went downstairs after hearing shouting. As soon as he opened the door, he was allegedly slapped across the left side of his face without any warning or conversation.

He said a passer-by on a bicycle who attempted to intervene was also assaulted before the suspect attacked the disabled flower seller.

The employee added that the same man had visited the shop two days earlier without displaying any unusual behaviour. Staff believe the violence may have followed an argument with another customer inside the shop, reportedly involving a religious disagreement, before the situation escalated.

The employee said he had received treatment at hospital and intended to pursue legal action. Around five people were reported injured in the incident.

The case also highlights continuing public scrutiny of Thailand’s cannabis industry, particularly where disputes or disorder occur at licensed cannabis shops, although no evidence has been presented that cannabis use itself caused the suspect’s behaviour.

Another sad weed dependent loser.

Just ban it and shut the shops and online outlets.

At a cannabis shop?

From the look and sounds of things on the video, the dude stopped at a mushroom shop on his way there it seems.......🍄🍄🍄

A rank amateur. Sounds like going too hard on the edibles.

Never took well to edibles myself.

Yeah, attacking a woman on a wheelchair.

Did I hear him yell "Allah?" .... yep, he will need Divine help when the cops deal with him.

How very Islamic of him. Seems like a lot of Muslims come to Thailand from the Middle East and Malaysia etc. to do everything they would be flogged for back home.

I have to say, my experience with edibles is a near catatonic state. I just stop what I'm doing and enjoy videos or music. It's actually pleasant, but I really don't like the feeling of total loss of control.

Wow. Another sack of sht throwing his weight around. Just pitiful. Ganga strikes again. ... and again...and again.

Here is my questionable at the very least theory:

Maybe no bars and no pot shops in Qatar, so no first hand experience on behavioral expectations. He studied how a drunken lout in expected to behave, but did his performance in the flower power sector by mistake. Live and learn.

In all my years of pot smoking, shroom and other hallucinogens experiences (gave them up around 1985, however) I have never seen nor had the slightest urge to go on a rampage, nor have I witnessed anyone in a similar condition go nuts. There is the chance this fine fellow had underlying condition that may have been triggered, but nothing in the substances are the cause of his behavior. Or he could just be a rich spoiled jerk from there flapping his wings.

Ban the shops as some people are abusing the system here and they making problems for Thailand and makes us farangs look bad.

There seems to be some weird mixtures of weed available. Many users are having neurotic symptoms that seem out of character.

As a longtime user in my youth the available product brought happiness and a mellow feeling.What's happening now???.

Deport him quickly🤬

How brave- to attack a disabled person in a wheelchair- how low can you get? I hope he serves time for his despicable behaviour

Ganja never make me violent, that's a job for alcohol

As this seems a tad worse than teenagers being loud on the BTS, can we expect an apology from the Qatari embassy, as done by the Italian embassy because of their raucus students?

Cannabis use caused that? Too funny especially coming from those that have are antlegalization,

I'm thinking if anything 'Angel Dust' (aka PCP).

Steve, Farangs are white people.

This animal from Qatar is a " Kaek Arab".

So do not worry, we Farangs still look good.......some days😄

Indeed the guy yelled something with allah. Always the same problem with these people

Hopefully locked up, paid a hefty sum to the disabled lady, plus a huge fine and deported and black listed soon. Give him a few days in lock up first to show how big and bad he thinks he is.

This one is on par with the Swiss guy who kicked the doctor in the back, and some people on this forum even defended him. I wonder if anyone will defend the Qatari guy and say he deserves another chance?

The Swiss guy did apologise publicly, although he continued to deny deliberately kicking her.

Seems troubling to invoke whatever god he believes in during a violent rampage.

Not sure what the connection is.

Too bad there is no baseball in Thailand⚾, get the bat out and hit a home run on that idiot's skull.

Assaulting a woman in a wheelchair.........horrible.
