Officials said that operators will be told not to hire him in the future. So obviously "blacklisting" is a waste of time ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes- it does happen in other places, but it seems that psychosis is rampant in the LOS. Thailand has some whacked out people.. and I dare anyone to say otherwise. If you compare Thailand to other destinations, the safety factor is well below what some may think. Thank God I have left there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I come from you just don’t slap a woman around. I’ll bet a lot of forum members would like a chance to set this creep straight. Hope he never gets to drive a van again. I can pretty much guarantee that he Will drive a van again if he wants. Also he will probably even refuse to pay the 5000 THB fine and nobody will do anything about it. Tit.

TMNH Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 And if you decide to work in a position where tourists are commonplace, then get used to it or get the f..k out. No one needs volatile Thai people working in any tourist-related position. You do not bite the hand that feeds you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileydude Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Unfortunately minivan drivers are not the most cultured and pleasant of people to be around having their patience already tested in Bangkok's notorious traffic, unruly passengers and silent farting. Thankful that the CCTV cameras were working today and very high def indeed. Real men don't hit women dude, didn't your mom teach you that? Hopefully news will get around that nowadays you have to be accountable for your actions due to CCTV and social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you can assault and batter anyone you wish for only 5000 THB. Think about it! ???? In the West you end up with a fine, jail time and a criminal record to follow you around the rest of your life. That's before the civil suit which will put a serious hole in your net worth. Here in Thailand? 5000 THB is the price you pay for having low self-esteem and not having to keep your temper. Wanna smack a woman around. Not a problem!!! "5000 baht please - commit assault and battery now, pay later!" And as far as being a minivan driver again - just move out of Bangkok. Heck, move to Chiang Mai. You can smack around a farang, a woman, a child for 5000 baht and probably keep your job. What? You really think that Thailand has the database infrastructure and manpower to track the driver, "Mr. Mana", across Thailand to assure he doesn't take a job as an angry minivan driver again? <laughs> Before you get all excited , OP clearly states matter will be sent to court . 5000 fine was by the transport department , there would be another 5000 from the courts/police . And no, in the west you do not go to jail for slapping someone , you would not even go to jail if you give someone a good beating . the only time you would go to jail in the west is if you caused serious injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at him and he continued talking to apparently no one. I thought he needed mental health help. Happened to me when waiting at the traffic light junction. The guy in the car next to mine was talking and looking at my direction. I thought he was talking to me through the closed window so I wound down my window to ask him what the matter was. He did not even have the decency to wind down his window to hear me out. He just glanced at me and kept on talking to his ‘god’. Only then did it hit me. I thought his wireless earpiece is for his hard of hearing problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
