A 25 – 30 year old Thai man came back and gave him a whack then went down the soi on his bike and returned armed with a stick.

He then knocked the tourist to the ground leaving him covered in blood.

Sawang Boriboon medics treated the tourist at the scene and police are studying CCTV to get a lead.
