Foreign Tourist Punches Thai Driver During Heated Argument in Phuket
video screenshot A shocking road rage ordeal unfolded on April 7 in Phuket when a foreign tourist allegedly punched a Thai van driver during a heated traffic dispute in Ratsada district. Saroj Jakthong reported to Phuket City Police that the tourist attacked him on Chaloem Phra Kiat Rama 9 Road, leaving Saroj with a sore ear and prompting a medical check-up as part of a police inquiry. The incident, captured on a dashboard camera, is making waves on social media. The video shows the tourist overtaking Saroj's van in a bold move, then cutting him off and coming to an abrupt stop. The situation spiralled out of control when the tourist confronted Saroj, delivering a blow that knocked him down. Saroj recounted the incident, noting it occurred around 9:10 PM on April 6, as he navigated through a lane merge near Premium Outlet. A Ford pickup truck unexpectedly overtook and cut him off, prompting Saroj to honk in warning. Instead of defusing the situation, the pickup driver veered erratically, intensifying tensions. An individual in another van captured the entire saga on video, lending crucial evidence to Saroj’s complaint. Attempting to communicate politely, Saroj advised the tourist to exercise caution, only to be met with instant aggression. The foreigner's actions reportedly left Saroj momentarily stunned, and as the offender sped away, Saroj dialed emergency services, but a swift resolution was elusive. Though able to obtain video proof, Saroj faced a delay in obtaining medical documentation, crucial for formal complaint proceedings. In a twist, the accused tourist later extended an apology through a Thai wai gesture at the police station. Nevertheless, Saroj remains unwavering in his pursuit of justice, opting to advance legal actions against the foreign visitor. Authorities continue to examine the evidence, including the widely circulated dashcam footage, as they tread through this turbulent episode.
