A Japanese tourist was kicked out of a hotel over a cannabis-fuelled outburst in Thailand.

The manbun-wearing guest had reportedly smoked a marijuana joint before rampaging through the Tapae Gate Vila hotel in Chiang Mai on April 11.

Footage shows him screaming in the lobby as he spoke on his phone. He then walked out of the building barefoot with what appeared to be a cigarette in hand then continued shrieking into the gadget.

When terrified employees tried to calm him down, he allegedly cursed at them and threatened to fight them.

Police later arrived after receiving a report about the disturbance.

The rowdy Japanese guest was said to have suddenly turned sheepish in the face of the police. He prostrated himself in a 'dogeza', a deep bow of extreme apology, but resumed his rampage just minutes later.

Hotel staff booted him out for his 'inappropriate behaviour', and the police dragged him from the building.

A hotel worker said: 'He has been staying here for two days. He was always high it seems he has not slept since he checked in.  

‘This morning, he started shouting all of a sudden, causing locals, other guests, and staff to feel scared.'

Cannabis with under 0.2 per cent of THC was decriminalised in Thailand in June 2022, as a potential cash crop for impoverished farmers. Cannabis smoking is allowed for personal use in private areas but remains prohibited in public spaces.

However, bungling officials are now seeking to outlaw recreational cannabis, blaming poorly regulated use for allegedly fuelling drug abuse and a rise in the the number of cases of tourists over-indulging in the drug.

Tourist destinations such as Bangkok, Phuket and Pattaya have seen the negative consequences of legalising the drug, with tourists regularly arrested for misbehaving while under the influence of cannabis.
