Thai Commando Takes Taxi Driver for a Ride After Fare Fraud Fiasco: A Thai commando officer, Lance Corporal Phubate Rattanaphong, took a taxi driver to Huay Kwang Police Station after discovering he was being overcharged with a modified meter. During the ride from Mor Chit Bus Terminal to Soi Pracha Uthit 28, Phubate noticed the fare was unusually high. He confronted the driver, who eventually admitted to manipulating the meter to increase the fare, claiming he needed extra money to feed stray animals. Unconvinced, Phubate had the driver taken to the police station, where he was charged with attempted fraud. The taxi will be investigated for the modified meter by the Land Transport Department.
