A Swiss tourist performed a flying kick during a shocking road rage fight in Thailand.

Stefan Buhler, 35, was riding a motorcycle along a strip of bars in 'Sin City' Pattaya when he was rear-ended by a local scooter rider on the evening of March 16.

The tourist's bike toppled over and a heated argument quickly escalated into a brawl.

Footage shows Buhler - who is almost twice the size of his opponent - grappling with the local before dragging him along the road by his leg.

He then lunges at him with a flying kick before bystanders intervene to break up the melee.

Motorist Ekkasit Pokkaset, 30, who witnessed the fight, said: 'The local was riding behind the foreigner and they collided with each other.'

Buhler and the local motorcycle rider was taken to Pattaya Police Station for questioning.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Apichart Charurak said: 'The collision sparked an argument and fight. He said the local hit him with his helmet and escalated. We are still investigating.'

Pattaya earned the nickname 'Sin City' due to its sprawling nightlife, red-light districts, and reputation for adult entertainment.
