Good Morning Thailand - Episode 213

A Russian tourist, dressed only in underwear, caused a chaotic scene on a Phuket shopping street, engaging in a bizarre standoff with Thai police. Captured in a viral video with over 200,000 views on X (formerly Twitter), the man, agitated and accompanied by his family, resisted arrest with shadow boxing and erratic behavior.
