The Department of Land Transport (DLT) imposed a 5,000 baht fine on a minibus station manager after he refused to serve a Thai YouTuber, leading to the victim being stranded at a station in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen.

 

Thai travel YouTuber, Worrachat “Chiang” Thamrongwarangkun, shared his bad experience with his followers on Facebook and YouTube (Chiang Paiyoonaima). Chiang began the post by saying, “Missed a minibus in Khon Kaen (angry emoji).”

 

According to the story shared on both social media platforms, Chiang wanted to travel from Ubonrat district to Mueang Khon Kaen district. He went to the minibus station to book the 4pm trip, which was the last minibus of the day.

 

Chiang tried to transfer the 50 baht fare to the station manager via his phone but was refused and told Chiang to pay in cash only. Chiang withdrew money from the nearby ATM but the manager still refused to take his money. He told Chiang to pay the driver of the minibus and told him to sit and wait.

The most interesting aspect of this pointless story (passenger was asked to wait for a minibus that then arrived full) is that the driver didn't answer the phone while he was driving. Astonishing.

The driver didn't know who he was.......he does now, be careful about your choice of mini bus in the future.
