A young man attempting to show off his motorcycle skills by riding through a tunnel in Pattaya was arrested after a video of the ‘wheelie’ stunt went viral on social media.

 

The incident began when the man, dressed as a delivery rider for a popular food delivery service, recorded himself riding a dirt bike through a tunnel where motorcycles are prohibited. The video, which was posted online with the caption "When the customer says they're hungry," was intended to garner likes and attention. However, it quickly caught the attention of the Pattaya Special Operations Unit.

 

Using the video (below) as evidence, authorities traced the man to his home, where they arrested him and seized the motorcycle involved in the stunt. 

 

The Pattaya police emphasized that while the man may have thought he was just creating content, his actions were both illegal and dangerous, and the law must be upheld. 

 

The suspect will now face charges in court, where he will have to answer for his actions.

So, based on the photos of the bike (ThaThaiger) there are no blinkers, no taillight, no license plate. He works for a delivery company that lets him drive a highly illegal vehicle on the streets?

Lame arrest.

They'll probably claim the bike is his responsibility, they only pay him to deliver.
