Foreign: A group of motorbike taxi drivers in Pattaya, Thailand, are facing public criticism after a video clip showed them kicking and punching foreign tourists after a water-spraying incident during a Songkran festival on Sunday night.
According to Khaosod English, published on April 13, 2026, the incident took place on April 13, 2026 on Soi 6, Pattaya Beach, Chonburi Province. In the video, men wearing orange vests are seen kicking and punching a foreign tourist who fell to the ground, while another foreigner tried to intervene and help his companion in the crowded area.
The police said the altercation reportedly started after the tourist was seen splashing water with a local rider and accidentally sprayed water on a group of motorbike taxi drivers, leading to an argument that escalated into violence.
No formal complaint has been filed with the Pattaya Police Station yet, but investigators are looking into the incident and collecting evidence to determine the exact circumstances and pursue legal action.
