Pub security guards fired for 'assaulting tourist' on Khaosan Road in Thailand

Two overbearing security guards have been sacked for allegedly slapping a tourist and cuffing him over a minor misunderstanding at a Thai pub.

Hot-headed bouncer Thongchai, 30, was filmed smacking the foreigner twice in the face 'for stealing a bottle of water' at The Club Khaosan along Bangkok's Khaosan Road, a popular nightlife strip for backpackers, shortly after midnight on February 25.
