Police are investigating intentional crashes involving vans carrying Chinese tourists in front of a Pattaya pub early Tuesday morning, with at least one person injured.
Police said on Wednesday that offenders would be charged with physical assault and attempted murder.
Vehicle drivers had intentionally collided with each other, police said. Three vehicles were involved. One person suffered a broken nose.
Chinese tourists had arrived at the entertainment place after closing time and the guards advised them to leave.
The frustrated visitors then called friends, who were boxers, to the entertainment venue.
After they arrived there was a fight, which led to the intentional vehicle crashes seen in a video posted online.
The video clip runs for 2:15 minutes and shows two Toyota Alphard vans and a Toyota Fortuner.
In the clip a policeman is seen calling for backup and reporting an injured man was stuck under one vehicle.
