This is the shocking moment a drunk British husband flew into a jealous rage and yelled at a waiter at a restaurant in Thailand.

The Brit named David, 60, was collecting his Thai wife when he became aggressive at the Lee Zaab restaurant in Nakhon Ratchasima province at around midnight on March 18.

The couple left together but the retiree returned to the restaurant and launched a furious rant at the diners and staff.

Footage shows the aggressive visitor shoving aside a waiter as he screamed 'f*** you' at one of the staff.

'Don't f****** touch me,' he continued.

'I will f****** pull a... f*** you.'

David allegedly broke glasses on his way out while continuing to hurl abuse at the Thai locals, shouting 'you're a f****** idiot'.

Business owner Aphinan Yokhanuparb, 49, called the police but despite the presence of officers, the defiant Brit said 'Thai law is b******t, s** you' before accusing the locals of being racist to him.

Aphinan said: 'The restaurant was about to close and all the tables were full of customers. But then, a foreign man who seemed drunk walked inside and started yelling and cursing at customers, speaking in a mixture of English and Thai.

'His Thai wife was sitting at the dining table. So I asked Mr Song-nga Romyen, a restaurant employee who could speak a little English, to calm him down. But the foreign man kept yelling and cursing at me the whole time and trying to destroy things in the restaurant.

'Many customers started to feel uncomfortable with his language, so I called the Phimai Police Station to help us control him. They dragged him out of the shop and called him to calm down. He must have been jealous that his wife was having dinner with other men.'

Police said that they arrived at the restaurant and calmed the situation.

Lieutenant Colonel Vorachai added: 'The British man said he was 60 years old and retired. His name was David and he is married to a Thai woman in a nearby village. The officers at the scene calmed him down and helped to avoid any further conflict and no arrests were made.

'The reason for the incident was due to a misunderstanding with his wife.'

Aphinan added he declined to press charges against the British man.

Thailand has been marred by over-tourism as the Thai government implements a visa-free scheme to boost revenue following the barren pandemic years.

However, angry locals claim the push for tourist dollars has attracted crowds of 'low-quality' visitors from across the globe including Russia, India and Australia.
