The pair sparked panic as they came to blows in the street on September 27 as terrified locals watched.

The Brit reportedly threw a punch that caused the Aussie to smash his head on the pavement.

Medics were called to the scene at around 4:30am, where they found the Australian man on the ground with no pulse.

They performed CPR and rushed him to the Pattaya Memorial Hospital, but they said he could not be revived.

Police Major Tanongsak Inphadung of the Pattaya City Police Station confirmed the Aussie’s tragic death and identified his Brit pal as the suspect.

He said: “The suspect still denies the charges, but he cannot contest us because we have complete evidence.

“We have security camera footage from the restaurant and four witnesses who drank together with them.

“Tomorrow, we will request the court to detain him at Pattaya Remand Prison. He refused to say anything, even though we had an interpreter, and he will get a lawyer to defend the lawsuit.

“The suspect was drunk at the time. We need to wait for the autopsy results to see if the deceased was also drunk, but he was seen drinking for hours before the incident.”

The cause of death is still pending and the reason for their fight has not been clarified by officials.
