Popular Post snoop1130 35789 Posted January 16 Popular Post Share Posted January 16 Two boat operators in Pattaya filed a report at the Pattaya police station, accusing a gang of alleged taxi “gangsters” of beating them over “overlapping territory”. At 11:30 PM on January 15th, the victims, Mr. Somchai Thongdee, 40, and Mr. Kriengsak Tubtimtong, 39, reported their grievances to Pattaya police. The two said they were boat operators and they were attacked by a group of what they referred to as “taxi mafias” at a transit station in North Pattaya in the Naklua subdistrict of Banglamung district, Chonburi. Kriengsak told police he and Somchai went to peacefully settle down the long-lasting conflict about an overlapping territory to conduct business between them and the group of taxi drivers. The rival group, however, showed up in a group of more than 30 people, some armed with firearms, Kriengsak claimed. The group threatened to shoot him and Somchai and began beating them.

mikebell 22165 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 This was because he asked why their meters didn't work in Pattaya. No one asked how many drivers had been arrested for not using meters. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
