Two Russian tourists taking photographs inside a South Pattaya mall were attacked by a pair of Thai men because they said photographing products was against the rules.
Police who broke up the Jan. 15 fight fined both groups 1,000 baht for disturbing the peace.
Showing officers snaps on a mobile phone, the Russians told officers they’d been photographing some products in the shop’s window when they were told to stop and leave. While questioning the reason for the ejection, they said they were jumped by two Thais.
The two unnamed attackers who dragged the Russians outside for the fight defended their actions by saying they were simply upholding the mall rules.
