Chaos erupted on the usually serene holiday island of Koh Samui when two foreign nationals turned the tranquil road leading to Choengmon Beach into their personal racetrack.

 

Equipped with roaring big bikes and an audacious attitude, their disruptive antics soon drew the ire of locals.

 

Residents, living in the northeast corner of the island, initially complained tothe the Bophut Police Station. The names of the offending tourists were not disclosed.

 

The community accused the duo of creating a public nuisance by riding their excessively loud motorcycles at high speeds, zipping through the area a dozen times each day. Additionally, the locals claimed the tourists posed potential threats to public safety.

Despite their frustrations, the police required concrete evidence of the flagrant offences to take action. Rising to the challenge, the determined residents captured the rowdy riders on video. The footage included the particularly offensive moment when one of the bikers brazenly flipped the middle finger at them.

 

With this incriminating evidence in hand, the Bophut police chief, Police Colonel Denduang Thingsrisook, swiftly ordered his team to set up a checkpoint near Chaweng Beach. The plan worked, and the troublesome tourists were apprehended yesterday evening.

 

Investigations revealed that both motorcycles had unauthorised modifications and were rented from a shop in Phuket, reported Bangkok Post.

 

The arrest was met with widespread praise from the local community, who lauded the police for their prompt and decisive action in response to the video evidence.

Not condoning their action, but, if I take a video of the young kids riding through our village in the evenings with modified exhausts, making enough noise to wake the dead, do you think the local police will take action.........Answers on a postcard please.....

I hope the owner/renter is charged with renting out illegally modified bikes?

At least, you've to provide significant video evidence of the daily "chaos", before RTP even moves it.

'Additionally, the locals claimed the tourists posed potential threats to public safety.'

 

A restricted occupation, exclusively for Thais.

🙂

Lucky that nobody died .

There should be no more BIG bikes for rent in Thailand .

What is that good for ? Far too dangerous .

Boy do you live the life !

"Chaos!"? "Rampage!"?

Who wrote this crap?

Just 2 guys going fast on big bikes. Yawn!

Hardly a Rampage or Chaos Vid shows nothing. 

Maybe they should look in a dictionary:

 

verb

(especially of a large group of people) rush around in a violent and uncontrollable manner.

"several thousand demonstrators rampaged through the city"

synonyms: rush wildly/madly, riot, run riot, go on the rampage, run amok, go berserk, storm, charge, tear, rave, steam

 

noun

a period of violent and uncontrollable behavior, typically involving a large group of people.

"youths went on a rampage and wrecked a classroom"

synonyms: berserk, out of control, wild, violent, frenzied, running amok, rioting, riotous, destructive, rampaging, postal

What did they even do wrong?

 

The locals here have some cheek.

Our local police might not, (not that we have any) but I can assure you our Phu Ya Ban would! And has when it comes to this kind of behaviour.

You want them to be British so you can Brit-bash again...    

 

You're like a fat auntie drooling at an all you can eat shrimp buffet....      that these guys are white skinned means there is a possibility that they could be British and thats enough to get your bigoted juices flowing !!!...

No, just wondered if they are. Then it will be a 3 time slam dunk. Hoping too. Can I be a fat grampa?

I'm usually the first to Brit bash but those two look like they might be Brit passport holders of the diversity import kind. 

All I get is a site with loads of VDOs. Is it not possible to link the relevant VDO?

I've seen those two idiots tearing down the hill into Choengmon.  Very loud. It's not just the noise, it's the speed they are driving at.
