Patong – A Chinese tourist was charged with reporting false information to law enforcement officers after lying about an alleged 20,000 Baht snatch-theft by a taxi motorcycle taxi rider in Patong.


Our previous story:
A Chinese tourist was caught lying about an alleged 20,000 Baht snatch-theft by a taxi motorcycle taxi rider in Patong before later confessing the lie to police.

 

Now for the update:
The Patong Police told the Phuket Express on Thursday evening (February 8th) that the Chinese tourist admitted that he made up the story because he thought that he could ask for the ‘damages’ as compensation for his time and frustration. He had been upset at what he thought was a high fare for a taxi ride, reportedly around a hundred Baht. (Three US Dollars)
