The two men asked the large group how old they were and the seven people left and came back armed with an empty beer bottle and a wheel brace.
They demanded the two men hand over their wallets and attacked them with the bottle, the wheel brace and their own fishing rods before throwing them into the river.
The police spokeswoman said the pair received serious injuries and one could require plastic surgery to his eye.
One of the injured men is believed to be from Singapore.
The offenders are described as in their early 20s, about 175cm tall, with dark skin and a slim to medium build.
