Video: Motorcycle taxi thief picks on the wrong guy - an ex-boxer who knocks out his teeth!

 

Thai caption: Nantha Chujanthong - former boxer

 

A motorcycle taxi rider made a bad mistake when he decided to rob a man carting around vegetables on another bike with a sidecar. 

 

His victim turned out to be a former boxer who turned the tables on the thief and knocked out three of his teeth. 

 

The thief was given a right pounding by the boxer turned som tam seller.

 

The thief called Preecha, aged 52, had driven up behind Nantha Chujanthong and told him that some of his vegetables had fallen on the road. 

 

It was just a ruse.

 

As Nantha went to retrieve the fallen items he was whacked from behind with a spanner on the right side of the cheek. 

 

But he soon turned the tables and utilizing his Muay Thai skills training got the upper hand and with the help of locals got the man in custody. 

 

Nantha now runs a som tam (papaya salad) business in Nakorn Sri Thammarat in Thailand's south. 

 

The story was widely shared and featured on Thai national television.

Now this sort of justice I miss. Do that in the UK and you will get the book thrown at you and maybe prison time because being an ex boxer puts your hands into the dangerous weapon category. Don't ever let them take away street justice Thailand.

Attempted burglary at my place in uk a few years ago, he got decked by my builder neighbour, had a visit from some big lads then got 3 months inside. True justice!

Thai boxer obviously if it would’ve been a farang, a dozen Thai bystanders would’ve climbed on top of him and best the sh*t out of him no matter who was at fault.

You probably think you've reached rock bottom when you become a motorcycle taxi driver, but no, there there is still a little way to go.

May this be a lesson to everyone in Thailand - violence is the answer! 

[Sydebolle]

Nice, and certainly more effective than the Baht 500, the finger pointing at the police station and the bottom line of "not having learnt anything". 

Keep up the good work, Khun Nantha Chujanthong! 

[hotchilli]

Don't you just love instant karma...

[bbbbooboo]

Hmmm... stories like this brighten my day

[mok199]

Mabey this ex boxer has a new calling in life.

Simply not true. Anyway , he was using 'reasonable force'.

[MaxYakov]

In my country, the thief could sue for use of excessive force by a professional boxer ... and won!
