Thai woman demands justice after finding Phuket Bolt driver in bed

[webfact]

A Thai woman filed a complaint with the police after a Bolt driver in Phuket entered her condominium room in the Patong sub-district and slept with her in her bed.

 

The 25 year old woman, Nan, shared her story with the Phuket Times to warn other women and urge the app-based driver not to repeat his actions. According to Nan, the incident took place at around 2am on July 1 when she was drunk.

 

Nan explained that she attended her friend’s farewell party in Phuket city centre and booked a ride through the Bolt app to return to her condominium in the Patong area. She admitted to being intoxicated and slept throughout the journey.

 

Nan disclosed that the driver who picked her up was a man aged around 30. She arrived at her condominium at about 2.55am and paid 306 baht for the trip. She then entered her room and fell asleep.

 

Nan was stunned to see that the man was the Bolt driver who took her home. The man realised that Nan was aware of his presence but remained in the room and played with Nan’s cat for over 30 minutes before leaving.

 

Bolt driver

 

Nan checked the condo’s CCTV footage and found that the Bolt driver had parked his car in the condo car park after Nan had entered. He then went to Nan’s room and let himself in.

 

Nan admitted that she had never locked the door because she always arrived at the room before her roommate and left it open for her.

 

“I don’t know what I want from him. I only know that I’m very frightened. The CCTV footage clearly shows his actions. I can confirm that I don’t know this man personally. I had never experienced anything like this before. It’s shocking. I don’t want him to do this to anyone else. It’s scary.”

 

The Phuket Times reported that Nan filed a complaint against the Bolt driver at Patong Police Station but officers have not yet reported the next step in their investigation.

 

Many Thai netizens wanted to hear the Bolt driver’s side of the story. Some stated that the driver would not have known Nan’s room number unless she had told him. Others suspected that Nan might have invited him into her room while drunk but could not remember doing so.

In this case, that might be the most believable

Though you weren't so keen to believe that 'foreigner' Sam might have simply locked himself away from his crazy girlfriend. 😊

'Foreigner' Sam who is alleged to have stolen a key and locked himself in a hotel room. When it comes to other foreigners you are rather quick to condemn.

[sqwakvfr]

Locks?  A great tool to prevent unwanted intrusion. That is if used properly.  She is lucky that all he did was "sleep" on the same bed with her.  Worse things could have happened.  In all she is lucky. 

[Luka77]

Sounds like she was intoxicated and invited him in while talking in the taxi but doesn’t remember 

[rwill]

Maybe she was so drunk she forgot to pay for the ride and he was just waiting for her to pay.  

[steven100]

very weird story again.   

[Callmeishmael]

I'm just puzzled by the 306 baht fare.

[Korat Kiwi]

Maybe she didn't have any cash and was going to pay the taxi fare with something else... 

 

  When the driver saw what it was he asked her if she's got anything smaller.

30 baht for a key copy....cost? priceless.....and its hearsay as she was drunk and he can jut say she invited him in....unless of course the cameras that seem to be everywhere...or the sleeping sec guards...

Nah I better not....

[spidermike007]

Never take a drunk woman's word for anything, it doesn't even sound like she remembers what happened. For all we know he might have asked her if she needed help, and she said come on up. 

[Ctkong]

Yeah.. story sound indeed fishy.  How did the driver know her unit number if she did not provide the detail? How did the driver enter the secured front entry/exit condo main door without key card ? How did driver knew her front door was unlocked after she entered her unit? How did the driver knew he can enter her room and nobody is at home too ? However if driver was invited into her room, why didn’t he go to police to give his version of the event ? TIT indeed !

Exactly. How would he know her room number if she hadn't invited him in? she probably did and don't remember it. Also unexplained is how he managed to enter the car park, elevator, etc - assuming it's a typical condo and you need a key card for those. Still kind of weird for a Bolt driver to hook up with a passenger, but it wasn't necessarily uninvited.

 

Bottom line: getting drunk af is a great way to find yourself with a stranger in bed the next morning.
