Jonathan Fairfield Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Video: Abusive minivan driver suspended for a week after altercation with heart patient Image: TNews Thai media has reported that a rude and abusive minivan driver has been fined and suspended after he packed his vehicle with passengers. The van was so overloaded that a man who had had major heart surgery just six months ago wanted to get off. The driver threatened him and used foul language. "Song Rattanapanya" said on Facebook where a video was posted that she and her friend had taken the Suphanburi to Ban Rai service at the start of a journey to hospital in Bangkok. They were obliged to stand as there were no seats and then when yet more passengers were picked up they requested to get off but were still asked to pay. The driver became abusive and threatening. Spring News said to the passenger" "Don't travel on my van and speak like a dog". The poster said that was the last time they were travelling on this minivan service. TNews reported that the Suphanburi Department of Land Transport soon caught up with the driver who was named as Thongchai Singha. He was fined 5,000 baht for overloading his vehicle, 2,000 baht for being impolite and had his licence suspended for a week.

Which license? And did they make a drug test? Of course not. Overloading a van is so dangerous with such tiny tires that his license should be suspended forever. What a d__ head. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Strange....he didn't get fined for 'Tarnishing the image of Thailand'...Lol. He should have been 'suspended' by his feet and given a damned good thrashing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisperone Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 According to Booking.com, Thais consider themselves most welcoming. Hope this guy wasn't on the Welcoming Committee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisperone Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The passenger survived a heart attack, he knew he had a better chance of dying from the van ride and wanted off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterbkk99 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 So typical behavior from a van driver. Zero respect or consideration. And not only they would overload the van but most of the time they will drive like maniacs, tailgating at high speed and with worn out tires as I've seen so many times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
