The Original Poster (OP), Mr Ponkirt, told MS News that the incident occurred at a petrol station in Laem Chabang municipality on 5 Sept.
He said there were about six to seven of them, including a taxi driver who is a Thai national.
Judging by their behaviour, Mr Ponkirt believed the group was intoxicated, speculating that they may have been drinking in Pattaya before the incident.

He also spotted a liquid-filled bottle sitting on the bin, which he suspected contained alcohol mixed with water.
Mr Ponkirt noted that although several bystanders passed by the scene, no one intervened due to their apparent intoxication and a language barrier.
When asked if convenience store staff were alerted during the incident, he said that no action was taken at the time, though he believed someone likely reported it afterwards.
