webfact Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Cherng Talay – Four taxi drivers have been fined after they threatened a mobile application taxi driver in Cherng Talay. The Cherng Talay Pollice told the Phuket Express that earlier this week a mobile application taxi driver filed a report to police. He told police that he picked up tourists at a hotel in Cherng Talay. There were about three to five local taxi drivers who blocked his taxi and hit the vehicle. His passengers were frightened as a result. The Cherng Talay Police and the Phuket Tourist Police tracked down those local taxi drivers but did not identify them by name to the Thai media.

They are facing charges of threatening others. They will be fined up to 10,000 baht or imprisoned up to one month or both for their actions, said police. My bet is on 1,000 baht fine and no sentence, back out on the streets after the court hearing.. They should be banned from being public service drivers for one year minimum. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a bit more harsh punishment than the ladyboys on Pattaya Beach Rd at night who rough up tourists and steal gold necklaces. Often caught, taken to the local police station (5 minutes walk), fined 100Baht and told to go home. Many have been fined 100Baht multiple times.

If you agree you can say that. No need to sound like I want everyone to listen and heed. Even if English isn't your first language I'm sure that you know how to search the meaning of "Hear, hear!" on the internet. There's no need for you to give me instructions on how to respond to your posts that are based on your misunderstanding of the usage of a very common English language expression.
