A Jordanian tourist found himself in a physical altercation with a barber in Patong, Phuket, after a dispute over an extra charge for hair services. The incident unfolded on August 31st when the tourist allegedly refused to pay for additional services, leading to a fight near Soi Bangla. Initially, the tourist and the barber had agreed on a price of 700 baht for a haircut, but the tourist received extra services, resulting in an additional charge.
Upon completion, the tourist attempted to leave the shop, paying only the original amount, while the barber demanded the remaining balance. The disagreement escalated into a physical confrontation, during which the barber's glasses were reportedly broken. Police intervened and brought the two sides together, with the tourist eventually agreeing to compensate the employee for the damaged glasses. No further legal action was taken by either party.
