webfact Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Pattaya — Two Songtaew drivers engaged in a heated argument on South Pattaya Road over who would transport Chinese tourists last weekend. The altercation resulted in one driver being hospitalized, while the other is now facing legal consequences. The incident unfolded around 11:30 PM on February 4th, near Grand Honey 3 on South Pattaya Road. Responding to reports of a fight, police and rescue teams arrived to find 43-year-old Songtaew driver Mr. Kongsak Prakotcheu lying injured on the sidewalk. Mr. Kongsak sported a swollen face, bleeding from his nose and mouth, and a closed left eye that caused significant concern. After receiving initial first aid, he was rushed to Pattaya Hospital for further treatment. The other individual involved, 47-year-old Mr. Phakaphon Duangkhum, surrendered to the police without attempting to flee the scene. During questioning, Mr. Phakaphon, also a Songtaew driver, admitted to kicking Mr. Kongsak twice, claiming the latter had hurled insults at him in front of his wife and child.

Mr Meeseeks Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Quite a few of these drivers are horrible creatures, including these two brawlers. So many times I have had them try it on with me, these Baht buse drivers. I love giving them the ten Baht with a smile and seeing their twisted, envious faces. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Let's face it, there's no educational requirement to be a taxi driver. Messing with some taxi drivers is like getting between a dog & it's meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fondue zoo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 All these guys missed a sound thrashing from their fathers as they grew up. Bring back the lash and stocks. They have the emotional maturity of a six year old, and that is an insult to a few 6 year old kids I know. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least try to be more original too, 'family friendly' and Pattaya has been done to death. Edited February 10 by sungod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true, any bad news story in Pattaya, and the posts mentioning "family friendly" are done ad nauseam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if you tested their driving skills, say to UK or Australian standards, just on a basic motor vehicle licence not even for public transport, over 90% fail. Mental wellness and psychology testing, failure percentages would be higher still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
