A video clip showing a foreign tourist being handcuffed and slapped in the face by a security guard in a popular pub in the Khao San Road area of Bangkok has gone viral on social media. The victim is thought to be a well-known YouTuber. The incident has sparked outrage among commenters and led to the guard being fired.
In the clip, the tourist looks confused as he is handcuffed and repeatedly slapped by the guard. The video appeared to show the tourist asking in disbelief what he had done wrong. The assault seemed to stem from the tourist taking a bottle of water he thought was complimentary and the staff accusing him of stealing it.
The police have been called to investigate the incident, and the guard responsible has been dismissed from his job and is facing charges…
