In an incident which has caused friction, an illegal taxi gang has been discovered allegedly commandeering public space in front of a major shop in Khon Kaen Municipality. The group, around 50 years old, had set up cones to prevent public vehicles from entering, claiming it was solely for taxi use.

 

The alarming activity came to light in a popular Facebook group – “Khon Kaen has checkpoints. Notify useful news”. A member posted images and a complaint which showed one man from the group blocking the public and vehicles from the area in the vicinity of a large department store in Khon Kaen Municipality.

 

An accompanying message revealed further details suggesting a local authority, supposedly, had auctioned off this public space to the rogue taxi operators. A contentious claim that people had paid to be looked after by a boss was also mentioned.

 

Further questioning revealed that only certain recognised cabs were permitted to park. In addition, they noted which vehicle number plates were parked nearby and questioned people about their destinations in an attempt to call for a taxi. A registration for cabbies taking care of people was also reported.
