Thai police are searching for a man who stabbed a British tourist outside a beach club on Wednesday.
Louis Johe Jarvie, 34, suffered a knife wound to his right arm in the incident, which took place in Cherng Talay at around 12.20am.
The attacker, said to have been foreign to Thailand, fled the scene before police arrived.
Visibility is said to have been “poor” at the time, according to police as they tried to put together an image of what the person looked like.
“Witnesses said they saw a large foreign man stab the British man in the arm,” police said. “The victim is now feeling better but is not ready to respond.”
Rescue workers from the Cherng Talay Tambon Administrative Organisation provided first aid before Mr Jarvie was taken to Thalang hospital, where he is currently recovering.
Authorities are using CCTV footage of the area to identify the suspect and are continuing to question witnesses who saw the incident or were around at the time of the attack.
