In the clip going viral the Malaysian tourist, who is tall and big-built and was wearing a grey shirt, squabbles with a slim and shorter man wearing a red shirt, and as this turns nasty, other Malaysians tourists stepped in to try to settle the dispute, but this led to a big ruckus, and in the punching match that ensued, the man in the red shirt was knocked flat on the ground, almost unconscious.
Songkhla police told reporters that this punch-up actually took place last week at a hotel in Baan Dan Nok subdistrict of Sadao district, which is a border tourist destination.
The fistfight broke out after the man in the red shirt flirted with a woman who was with the Malaysian tourist, which angered him, police said, however adding that neither men filed a complaint.
