Law enforcement of criminals by criminals. No wonder it doesn't work. 

As long as there is only a small fine to pay, these thugs will continue to do so!

Sounds like the Police force seems to be suffering from sticky seats again !

Yup a steel bar filled with cement is the weapon of choice for these cowards. Not only can they hit with them but they can be thrown before retreat.  

The story explains it all why all these problem exist!  Lack of knowledge especially those who are entrusted with keep the peace and order in this country!

Which is why road rage in Thailand will never stop.  No consequences for bad behavior.  But throw people in jail for years for chewing kratom.  <laughs>

Or playing darts or bridge?

my car would have become  a  battering ram in  this situation

It is a misdemeanor crime of Vandalism.

No person was physically assaulted or harmed.

 

Yes, a fine would generally be the same penalty in many western countries.

Water pistol filled up with water that’s been boiled up with loads of chillies.... quick blast to the face.

That's probably how the little thug celebrates Songkran.

he got out with a baseball bat and started smashing up the pick-up.

There seems to be a lot of baseball bats used in this country yet I have never heard of or seen anyone playing baseball.  Perhaps the bats are imported to be used as weapons.

You can buy them in Decathlon, about 1,600 baht each. They have gloves (mitts?) and balls too. They also stock cricket bats, oddly. Although I think cricket is played here sometimes.

They also stock shooting sticks and a few other surprising items. 

If it is just going to be used to thwack the drunk neighbour over the head, I would suggest saving on the 1600 baht and looking in Buakhao market.

just a animal  ,in a civilized country this "animal " would go to prison .  

And to think the other week there was public uproar hear in the UK when road rage killer Kenneth Noye was released after serving only 19 years...

 

I suspect the pickup driver is thinking why did he waste his time reporting the incident.
