Ill-Mannered Aussies Fined After Failing to Find Patong Toilet

PHUKET: Australians behaving badly created a disturbance at a Soi Bangla bar early today when two of them urinated on a pot plant and over a balcony rather than take the trouble to use a toilet.
A scuffle with security at the bar led to police accompanying the group of four Australians to Kathu Police Station. There, the Aussies, swearing loudly, could have faced jail but instead were fined a small amount and allowed to go.
The altercation at the station was witnessed by a large number of police and a television crew from Australia, believed to be in the early stages of a series on how Australians behave in Thailand.
Fewer reports of Australians in trouble have been reaching officials since hard-working Australian honorary consul Larry Cunningham retired in September.
The appointment of a replacement has been delayed because of the anti-government Bangkok protest.
Patong bars report an influx of tourists in recent weeks, delivering the largest number of customers in February for several years
