The incident took place around 11pm on Thursday as Zan Uta waited for a friend outside the Freedom bar, on the road between Kamala and Patong.
Two men pulled up on a motorcycle and at first ask for a light for a cigarette, he later told officers at Kamala Police Station.
Then one of the men pointed what could have been a knife in his back and he was told not to move.
He was robbed of 1800 baht in cash and his mobile telephone, then beaten up, according to the police report.
Officers checked security camera footage and pulled in Werayut Emcho, 23, Eakkapong Harnjid, 19, without too much trouble.
A couple were also arrested in Phuket City on Friday on a warrant issued in Ratchaburi.
Chuwnpit Tongleg, 28, and her husband Anuwat Yensiri were nabbed at the Rattana Mansion hotel on Chana Charoen Road over the robbery and beating of Prasert Thewarit.
The couple allegedly had a large quantity of gold and amulets in their possession, along with 199,060 baht in cash.
The pair face charges of robbery and attempted murder.
Too bad the police aren't faster with their guns, because it would be good to have these pieces of crap out of the community, as they will always be nothing but trouble.
