Aussie tourists fight outside bar in Phuket, Thailand

Two rowdy Australian tourists have been filmed causing a scene at a bar in Thailand.

Two rowdy Australian tourists have been filmed causing a scene at a bar in Thailand after one of them apparently miscued a pool shot.

Three friends had visited the bar and ordered beers while they played on the pool table in Phuket, Thailand, earlier this month, Viral Press reported.

One of the young men was accused of trying to show off in front of local women when he hit too hard and his cue fell off – causing the owner to scold him.

A witness said he became aggressive before an argument broke out between him and his friend, who had teased him.

Footage shows the young Aussie shouting at his friend before pushing him on the shoulder.

The argument then moved out on to the street.

The shouting continued, along with more shoving.

A third friend could be seen trying to calm the situation and hold one of the young men back.

Bar waitress Yai Lae Roilan said: “They came together and looked like friends. One of them hit the ball so hard that it bounced off the table.

“My boss scolded him and was embarrassed but was furious and picked a fight when his friend teased him.”

Thailand has opened its doors to tourists over the last year in a desperate bid to revive its tourism industry.

However, the influx of visitors has led to reports of drunken fights among tourists, including clashes with locals.

There have also been numerous complaints about overcrowding and rising prices.
