Thailand pier brawl: Boat captains fight each other over fierce competition for tourists

This is the shocking moment boat captains brawled on a pier in a fierce competition over who would transport a group of tourists in Thailand. The rival tour operators were jockeying for positions to hard-sell boat trips to the island Koh Larn to holidaymakers. But chaos erupted when they began to insult each other followed by a mass punch-up at the Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya on August 26. Footage shows several shirtless men battering each other next to a busy road, sparking panic among worried onlookers. Police Captain Nattapol Saengsee said: 'Obviously we don't want fights happening in Pattaya. It looks very bad to tourists. 'I can confirm none of those involved in the fight have any special treatment. We will investigate the situation fully and patrol this area to make sure it doesn't happen again.' #dailymail #fight #brawl Daily Mail Homepage: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ Daily Mail Facebook: https://facebook.com/dailymail Daily Mail IG: https://instagram.com/dailymail Daily Mail Snap: https://www.snapchat.com/discover/Daily-Mail/8392137033 Daily Mail Twitter: https://twitter.com/MailOnline Daily Mail Pinterest: https://pinterest.co.uk/dailymail Get the free Daily Mail mobile app: https://dailymail.co.uk/mobile
