PATTAYA – A physical altercation between two foreign tourists broke out on Pattaya Beach Road in the early hours of Christmas Day, briefly disrupting the busy holiday atmosphere in the popular seaside district.

Video footage of the brawl, later circulated online, shows the two men exchanging punches in the middle of the street as bystanders gathered around them. Some individuals attempted to separate the combatants, while others watched or cheered. The fight ended when both parties disengaged and walked away in different directions before authorities arrived.

According to a local vendor who filmed the incident, the confrontation began with a minor collision—a shoulder bump—as the tourists passed each other. This led to a heated verbal argument filled with shouting and insults, despite attempts by locals to de-escalate the situation. The argument quickly turned physical, and during the scuffle, a nearby parked motorcycle was knocked over and damaged.
