You can't deport a Thai from Thailand!

But your point is taken!

Please adjust the settings on your sarcasm detector. It appears to not be working. 😉

Hopefully he is deported and not a '500 baht and promise not to do this again'. You can't endanger people and just be on your way. Furthermore this sends a message to others (like the French Arabs) that this behaviour will not be tolerated anymore.

Well, that did not take long ... within the first handful of posts, a demand he be deported. This constant foreigner "input" online that "we" see deportation as a penalty for even the smallest offense is gong to come around and bite the entire Expat community in the a$$. Be careful what you keep publicly wishing for, because someday, a politician looking for "headlines and merit" will happily oblidge.

Definately should ban Thai drivers for this behaviour too. But deport them? Eh ?

As a newbie, I suppose you have to give him some leeway? Maybe?

Never seen that sort of behavior by Thai drivers in 28 years on the roads here.

Oh wait a minute.

The most scurrilous aspect is the cultural appropriation this Brit has adopted..unless he’s just integrating…?

Yes good that the authorities are taking action against this Brit but also surprised that he was caught as seems to be quite a few thais doing this regularly on the roads in Thailand

For the Brit would he have done this in the UK i think not

Needs to be deported as a warning to others thinking of doing the same

Here in Thailand

Probably NEVER driven a car of that type or power !

Unlerss his parents are wealthy he could never get insurance to drive such a vehicle in the UK.

Baseball cap on backwards is a dead giveaway. Looks a right dork

He has the sort of face you’d never tire of punching 🥊 🥴

Cone on Benidorm get those cider deals back on and get the Brits back.

No mention of whether he had a valid licence and was tested for drink/drugs.

I would have though he either can’t drive, or his ability to do so was impaired.

Possibly Mr Jack<deleted> hasn't even got a Driving Licence !!

Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more,no more,no more no more.

Oh dear he appears to have crossed a yellow line. Were they saving on paint and forgot to make it double yellow.

after videos of the incident spread widely on social media

Society is regressing. Burn him he's a witch. The beigest are taking over.

the driver weaving between lanes, overtaking closely on both sides and tailgating other vehicles in a manner described as frightening and highly dangerous.

What's so special about that .

One can see that everyday when driven on the road .

Nothing is being done about that, Oh I forgot ,that's normal Thai driving ,so it's ok.

Could they also deport and ban the Thais who drive like this?

Obviously not.

"Mr Jack" That's original!

Awesome!

Must put this POS in jail and then deport. And ban for 10 years.

Oh look .... it's the Brits again, who'd have thought.

The guy looks like a complete muppet and cap on backwards is a dead giveaway. Also, he didn't realise that that type of driving is a reserved activity... Thais only.

If these stories of police stopping and deporting tourists were published in the UK newspapers , it would send a message to these idiots . »  Don’t break the rules in Thailand. Fined and deported. »

You rarely see this happening in the west .Foreign tourists tend to behave well.( I stress tourists).

Why do they create hell in Thailand, because none stops them !

Thailand has a bad reputation now, come and do what you like, girls à gogo , drugs , drink, and cheap car and bike rentals .

It can be stopped.

so, what is the problem: he drives same as the locals !

Ask yourself, would he do that at home ? And if he did and got caught, he’d be stopped, jailed, fined , and loose his license.
