An alleged drunk Irishman was treated for head wounds after being attacked with a bottle during an argument with the staff of a bar in Thailand.

The tourist had returned to his hotel in Pattaya in the early hours of Sunday, October 14, but headed back out to a nearby pub.

Officers found him on the street at a bar opposite The Now Hotel Jomtien with blood pouring from his head at 4am - while he went on a bizarre rant saying ''you're just lucky I'm f***ing Irish''.

The man - who only gave his name as ''Richo'' - told onlookers he returned to his hotel with a Thai female, but they parted ways.

''Richo'' returned to a nearby bar and started rowing with the staff. He claims in the video that one man walked over to him before another bottled him.

The drunk tourist then removed the head bandages, before asking locals who he had just been fighting with, ''can you give me a whiskey'' before walking away down the deserted road.

He refused hospital treatment and declined to make a police complaint, so officers were happy to let him go on his way.

A local journalist who captured the footage said: ''The witnesses said that the foreign man took a motorcycle with the girl to the nearby hotel.''

''The foreigner walked away and was good for a while, then he went to a bar where he argued with customers and staff.

''Police and Rescue Officers were contacted to investigate and assist the foreign man. ''He did not want any help and he walked away.''
