Phuket residents expressed concern over a late-night gathering involving foreigners in the Bang Tao area. According to a local Facebook page, a group of individuals, believed to be Russian nationals, were reportedly seen late at night on September 24, engaging in a fire-spinning activity and a loud party on a road in Ban Bang Tao, Choeng Thale subdistrict, Thalang district. The event reportedly took place around 23:00 and caused traffic blockage, raising safety concerns due to the location being a residential community.
Photos posted on the Facebook page depicted several people standing on the road, holding and spinning objects with flames, while others watched from the roadside. Several cars were also parked nearby. The incident prompted mixed reactions on social media, with some criticizing the authorities and advocating for stricter controls on foreign visitors.
However, these claims have not been verified, and there is no official confirmation from authorities regarding the nationalities of the individuals involved nor the use of drugs, such as cannabis, during the event.
As of now, the authorities have not issued an official statement on the incident. Readers are advised to monitor for further updates if officials provide any clarification or confirmation regarding the circumstances surrounding the late-night party with the fire show in Phuket.
