Both men are seen standing by the side of the road where a van emblazoned with the words Hatyai World Tour on its side is parked, while two suitcases stand on the pavement.
After the second man moves his suitcase off the street to sit outside a cafe, the first man approaches again while remonstrating angrily.Other tourists sitting in the van can also be seen witnessing the exchange. The first disagreement between the two arose when Mr Faris, who started his journey in Krabi, refused to pay the tour agency driver an additional 100 baht fee to be taken to his intended destination - the Grand Supicha City Hotel - said the police on Monday.
Mr Faris was also dissatisfied with how Poramet had unloaded his luggage from the van brusquely, the police said, adding that the driver got angry when the Singaporean made a comment and snapped a photo of him. Phuket police also clarified that the item Poramet appeared to be holding was a rubber hose, without explaining why he held on to it while accosting the tourist.
