Australian tourist arrested after naked rampage at Phuket resort

Chaos erupted in Phuket’s Patong resort area in Thailand when a naked tourist, believed to be Australian, was filmed screaming at bystanders, confronting motorists, and allegedly trying to strangle a police officer while attempting to steal his motorbike.

Witnesses described the man’s erratic behaviour as he stormed down the busy street, prompting four officers to intervene before subduing him.

Locals expressed frustration at worsening tourist behaviour, blaming Thailand’s visa-free entry policies for attracting unruly visitors.

The man was taken to hospital for treatment, with no fines issued in connection to the bizarre incident.
