A British man was arrested for allegedly arranging for his friends to flood a restaurant in Thailand with false one-star reviews after a dispute with the owner.
The British national, identified only as Alexander, 21, reportedly wanted to use the Italian restaurant as a convenient shortcut to his accommodation in Phuket in 2022.
However, the owner barred him from doing so because he was not a paying customer.
As revenge, Alexander is said to have enlisted his friends' help in flooding the restaurant with negative reviews, plunging its rating from 4.8 to 3.1 out of 5 stars.
The Central Investigation Bureau arrested Alexander at his new apartment in Bangkok on May 9, after the owner filed a complaint
