Video shows tourist fight in Phuket after argument escalates
An Instagram video shows a confrontation between tourists in Phuket escalating from an argument into a physical fight as an employee tried to break it up.
A video posted on Instagram shows a fight between two groups of tourists in Phuket after an argument escalated into a physical confrontation.
According to the post, an English-speaking group argued with a French couple and accused them of being too loud. The English-speaking tourists repeatedly threatened the couple while the French pair continued speaking in their native language, the post said.
The argument intensified after the group told the French man to go away and he refused, then taunted them, according to the video description. The confrontation began with people grabbing each other by their shirts.
The man speaking English then removed his shirt and began throwing punches, turning the dispute into a fight, the post said. The groups continued fighting in an open space while an employee tried to intervene using a swimming pool leaf scoop.
The fight continued even as a van approached and sounded its horn for the people involved to move out of the way, according to the video description.
