Bangkok Teen Jumps Off Moving Bolt Motorcycle After Driver's Refusal

A 17-year-old schoolgirl leapt from a moving motorcycle in Bangkok after the Bolt rider she hired refused to stop at her destination. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. on April 23 at an intersection on Phet Kasem 81 Road, Nong Khaem district. After the student jumped and fell, the rider sped away, leaving her to call for help, which nearby motorists quickly provided.

The girl had booked the ride via the Bolt app to travel from Rama 2 to Bang Bon district. When the motorcycle that arrived didn't match the one in the app, she reluctantly accepted the ride, a common occurrence with app-based services. During the journey, the rider stopped for a kratom drink, prompting the girl to start recording him due to her discomfort.

The rider, identified as 22-year-old Tin Chaoklong, continued past her home, ignoring her requests to stop. As the student recorded and shouted for him to halt, he allegedly tried to knock her phone away. After escaping, she was assisted by bystanders who notified rescuers and took her to a police station to file a complaint.

Police investigation revealed Tin was using his father's account to provide rides. He claimed the girl had entered the incorrect destination and did not respond to inquiries about GPS usage. Despite saying he fled to avoid accidents with trailing vehicles, police charged him under Section 310 of the Criminal Law for unlawful detention and faces consequences for using a private vehicle for public transport.

    Sure. Why not?

    At that age, lots of us had jobs that kept us until 1:00 and that was back in the stone age. Restaurants, fast food, convenience stores, and... and...

    Why not? Are 17-year olds not allowed out after midnight?

    I think you and I are the only one with common sense on this thread. It's ridiculous for a 17 year old girl alone to be out at that time of night, with a strange man on a Bolt taxi. Ignore the responses from the predators on this board who want more vulnerable 17 year old girls to be out alone at night.

    Not victim blaming as it does appear she got lucky and probably dodged some form of assault, but come on, out alone at 1 am and still in school uniform?

    Agreed, he clearly had bad intent and needs some punishment.

    Wake up the gimp. Hopefully taxi boi's father is aware of the fact that his son put him in a bad spot.

    Thailand has far more dangers than naive westerners like to think. It's not sensible for a 17 year old girl to be roaming the streets of Bangkok or anywhere else in the country at 1am.
