[webfact]

 

Phuket – A local man allegedly threatened a mobile application taxi driver with a sword in a pubic parking area near a beach in Thalang.

An unidentified mobile application taxi driver told the Phuket Express that he parked his car at a public park near the Nai Thon Beach in the Sakoo sub-district on Tuesday (July 11th).

 

There was an unknown man there who tried to chase him away saying he was not allowed to park there.

If in USA both would have likely pulled out guns and have a shoot out...at least u might be able to outrun a guy with a sword...not so easy to outrun bullets...

That´s a good one! Suggestion: Try to work with diplomacy without any parts of intelligence, common sense, critical thinking or respectful behavior. Tell me how it worked out. ????

They don't like Taxi drivers I think. can't blame  them for that.

So someone claiming a parking spot is reserved for certain taxi drivers and sends away another taxi driver doesn't like taxi drivers.

Makes no sense at all.

Better read the full story before showing you really don't know what you're talking about.

 

"It didn’t take long before he was confronted by 52 year old Santi Raiwalthipkul, belonging to Moo 4, Sakhoo. Santi informed Phrompitak that the claimed spot was reserved for local taxi drivers, causing an immediate clash."
