Popular Post webfact Posted February 17, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Two Foreigners and Three Thais Arrested in Patong, Phuket After Fighting Following Motorbike Racing Dispute By Goongnang Suksawat Patong – Two foreigners and three Thais were arrested after fighting over motorbike racing in Patong. The Patong Police told the Phuket Express that they checked CCTV footage and tracked down five people involved in the incident who were two Swedish nationals and three Thais. One of them is a taxi motorbike rider. He admitted that he was involved in the fighting after they warned a group of foreign motorbike racers that they are not allowed to ride on Bangla Road except with permission by law enforcement officers. The foreign motorbike riders were disappointed and angry before they verbally insulted the Thai men with abrasive language which led to a physical conflict.

Popular Post Classic Ray Posted February 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2023 No one is entitled to make their own traffic laws. If they are not allowed to drive in a particular direction or on a particular street, the authorities must put up a sign to say so, not rely on a taxi rider to enforce a “rule”. No wonder the Swedes were upset. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dogsredrocket Posted February 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2023 Looks like more Arabs and Africans masquerading as Europeans because someone in the family got a "refugee" VISA. Regardless, I'd probably be upset if a local (who is likely unlicensed and uninsured) made up their own traffic rules and was yelling in my face. 4 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Anybody have a clue what the "rule" was supposed to be for these ''motorbike racers'' ? Is there a special rule book for them. I'm sure they all had driving licenses checked. not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firemans35 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I haven't been to Patong Beach for many years. Last time I was there the street Soi Bangla closed at night and was turned into a walking street. I didn't think it closed at 3:30 pm even if it did, I'm sure there are thai's also driving on the street after it was closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
