Popular Post webfact Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 By Goongnang Suksawat Patong – A British man was arrested after he punched a Tuk Tuk taxi driver after he and his friends crashed into the parked taxi driver in Patong, Phuket. The Patong Police told the Phuket Express that late at night on Tuesday (May 9th), a Tuk Tuk taxi driver, Mr. Armin Longklang, filed a report to the Patong Police. Armin told police that a motorbike rider crashed into his parked Tuk Tuk on the roadside in Patong. The rider was with a small group of other young foreign riders, none of them wearing helmets and appearing aggressive, according to Armin and CCTV footage. The CCTV footage appears to show a verbal altercation take place between a group of the foreign motorbike riders and Armin, who wanted compensation for the damages to his vehicle. While verbally debating the incident and cost of damage, one foreign rider wearing a black shirt can clearly be seen on video getting off his motorbike and proceeding to punch Armin in the side of the head several times, blindsiding Armin. The suspect and his friends then fled on their motorbikes as several witnesses attempted to stop them from fleeing.

I hope that they get to spend the remaining of their holiday in detention. I actually hope they get their holiday extended. Give them separate accommodation for 30 days. Charge with guilty and note it on their records as well as blacklist them Will be interesting to see how the British rags make them look like they are the victim Edited May 11, 2023 by kingstonkid 9 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Neeranam Posted May 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2023 I imagine there was little damage and the taxi driver was trying to make the most of it by asking an extortionate amount. A friend of mine was hit by a tuk tuk thing and they demanded he pay them 6,000 Bht fir a scratch to the tuk tuk. Good on the guy for showing tourists are no walkover. Most of the foreigners here would just pay up. 5 8 21 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is, why is it so and is it mainly the younger guys that think that way? I put it down to over-zealous liberalism, lazy parenting and the PC brigade getting far too much traction in society 30 years ago. Some of these kids today have never been told No and think they can do what they want with impunity. I hope they come down in this idiot with the full weight of the law. 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People in the UK (and the US) apparently just brawl and fight all the time for nothing. Mass riot if the KFC runs out of chicken wings. These people are why Thailand, whatever its problems, is a better place than back home. 6 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
