Suriporn claimed the Russians had purchased 219 baht in goods and had paid with 220 baht. However, the women began shouting they’d paid with 1,000 baht and had been cheated on their change.

An argument ensued and Lyubaykina then allegedly smashed the manager with a Coca-Cola bottle in the head. People stepped in to break up the fight and pulled the women out of the store. But they soon returned and began to throw cosmetics, drinks and food on the floor.

The Russian women refused to speak to police and are being held pending further investigation.
