A man who appears to be the woman's boyfriend is then seen pushing her out of the way and lunging towards Jaydon.

The tourist then walks away holding his chest after receiving a knife wound to his ribs.

He later stumbled back to his table where his horrified dad found him covered in blood.

Thai police are now using the CCTV footage to try to track down the knifeman as Jaydon recovers in hospital.
