For  youse what blame the driver what's the penalty for assault and battery on a Taxi man in UK? There is no excuse for violence.

I concur,there's an abundance of peculiar, jaded characters visiting & living here. luckily, the majority flock to places like Pattaya and Phuket. 

You would be amazed what you would find in Isaan and the northern provinces if you where looking. 

 

Touring the back country on motorbikes, you meet the best of the best.

Normally they would, but in this case it's a tuk tuk driver - maybe not part of the same mafia family?

 

Goat made the point:- "So why is it on this forum we can not use the headline "Brit assaults taxi driver"

 

Headlines running side by side today:-

British tourist held for attacking Thai cab driver - update

 

Foreign tourist robbed of 80K gold necklace in Pattaya and the opening sentence in the article:-  "A Laotian tourist, Detnakhon Inthakoummane, aged 37, reported being robbed ......."

 

Just kind of proves my point about Brits usually being mentioned in the headlines, and other nationalities are just "foreigners"!!!

Never been to a country with so high density of expats/tourists who are misfits, addicts, mental challenged, psychopaths, conspirators, criminals than in Thailand, who claim they constantly experiencing trouble living there, and not for one sec understand they are the problem

 

A lot of that trouble can be attributed to frozen pensions.

Why do think this is the case and where does this discrimination stem from?

This is a new low for you, frogs.

 

Mrs. Smtih said you are talking out your rear end.

She said most Thai people are bone idle and don't want to study.

That's why they get paid what they do.

 

She studied hard for 7 years, got her masters degree and is now basically richer and more successful than all of her peers.

Moral of the story - you get back out what you put in.

 

If you aren't happy being paid a 'pittance' then get of your ar*e and make yourself more valuable.

So speaks a "modern" version of Norman Tebbitt.

I'm absolutely certain that this isn't the first case of violence attributed from the esteemed "British" gentleman, Abdulloh, hailing from Bradford....

Wasn't Abdullah the name of the Tuktuk driver?Hailing from Yala ,maybe. 

[cardinalblue]

A proper transaction is to leave the bill in the open as the seller gets the change vs taking and hiding the bill out of sight....This is on the tuk tuk driver especially if it was only a 100B bill...You explicitly show the buyer what was given vs the set/owed price

 

So the tuk tuk driver is either very stupid or it was a scam job (if the driver did not show immediately the 100B bill as insufficient payment towards the 400B bill... 

 

Why would the driver hide a 100B bill? he would be the one who is upset vs hiding immediately a 1000B and then saying it was only 100B (you leave the 100B bill in clear view)...either way, money was still owed to someone whether change or insufficient amount...You don't make the bill disappear when the transaction is still open

 

Sorry folks, but it sounds like a scam job...

Your post, I believe?

 

"He is obviously a Brit. And obviously in the wrong. Short changed the taxi driver and then physically assaulted him.

Swiss Dave wasnt called Foreigner Dave. Russians, Chinese, Indians are always identified form the country they come from.

Why is it that the country that causes the most problems here are protected?

I am a foreigner, and I despise being tarred with the same brush as these idiots."

You are aware that many posters on this forum have indeed married a single mom Issan lady right? And have paid sin sot for their purity and upstanding in the community.

 

Rai with ร is an r sound but i concede the single Issan moms do pronounce it with an L sound.

Im married to a Isaan lady, and living the dream in Paradise. No kids

 

It was intentional using L 🙂

Yes I agree.

 

Those 2 New Zealanders and the Swiss Kicker are winning hands down then, yet I suspect the Tuk-tuk driver didn't try to overcharge a slightly inebriated Scotchman/Welshman/ Northan Irishman or even an Englishman, as they are as honest a Thai your ever meet in Pooket.

100 Thai Baht equals 2.15 Pound sterling. That's barely enough for a pack of gum in the UK?

Yeah, that's worth getting into an altercation and risking the other guy having a weapon on him or having friends nearby gang up on you.

And the violent altercation being filmed.

Some people lack survival skills.

But then again, he was drunk.

Which is one reason I don't drink much. Act stupid in public and get yourself killed.

 

Hi thought that he gave him thousand not hundred, and maybe he was right, why driver didnt shoe him the note he gave. We all know these drivers are shifty, but we all believe their stories

[Gottfrid]

Sure, he should have his change back. However, resorting to violence, just made him yet another Brit who paves the way for top position in dorks coming to Thailand. Soon immigration at airports will check if UK visa, and place a deportation stamp in it at arrival.

A similar event occurred  not long ago with a 'hi-end' Russian tourist couple at a restaurant saying they paid and put the money in the bill folder and that the employee must have taken it....cctv showed otherwise.....maybe this tuk tuk brawl should go to trial by jury and get to the bottom of the cash exchange  issue........

You say "A similar event", but go on to describe an event that is not similar... 🤔
