Taxi/Van/TukTuk drivers are the most aggressive bunch of people that I got to see in Thailand.
I whitnessed a TukTuk driver trying to hit a motorcyclist with a wood plank spiked with nails on a red light. On another occasion a van driver first pushed me off the line I was in and then because I honked on the next red light came out of his vehicle and stormed towards me, luckily I was able to ride away quickly.
The problem is the punishments for wrongdoing are a joke. This case here is attempted murder. Throw him in jail. But what will happen is he'll be fined 1000 baht as mentioned in the article. Boohoo just means he'll need to scam a few more passangers.
Agreed if you mean "Taxi/Van/TukTuk drivers in Phuket". I rarely see especially aggressive drivers in other provinces. A few taxi drivers in Bangkok are aggressive or annoying though.
