Hat Yai police said the three men, aged between 26 and 30, and a Thai national were summoned to the police station after public complaints about their actions at about 12.30am.
A black car belonging to the Thai national led a convoy of three Malaysian-registered cars, coloured blue, red and white. "The driver of the black car at the front was believed to be recording a video for social media content, while the group of vehicles made several U-turns, revved their engines loudly and obstructed traffic," police lieutenant Prut Pattanapran told reporters.
