Tourists and locals clashed over a parking dispute during a kite festival at a villa in Bali.

The couple, who had rented the property next to a field in Tabanan, confronted villagers as they were holding a local kite flying festival in Tabanan, on May 11.

Footage shows a furious male holidaymaker squaring off with dozens of bandana-wearing natives before trying to douse them with a low-pressure water hose.

A security officer wearing an armband was seen waving to disperse the raucous crowd before police arrived to mediate the dispute.

Village council boss Nyoman Ariad said: 'There was a bit of tension, that's true, but it was purely a misunderstanding and everything was resolved peacefully on the same day.

'We handled it immediately, and the police also stepped in to mediate the situation so it didn't escalate.'

He added that the event, the Binggo Kite Festival, had attracted thousands of participants, some of whom ended up parking in residential areas, including the couple's villa.

Gusti Putu Dharnabatha, Tabanan City Police Chief Commissioner, said a follow-up mediation session was held the following day, May 12, to ensure the matter was fully settled.
