A gang of teenagers in Pattaya smashed LED advertisement screens on a truck with iron rods on 23rd September 2024. The incident occurred near Royal Garden Plaza, with the victim, Mr. Pongsakorn, 41, filing a report at Pattaya Police Station.

 

Mr. Pongsakorn was driving the truck to promote a new entertainment venue on Walking Street when the attack happened. The teenagers, on two motorcycles and wearing masks, targeted his truck's screens, causing damage exceeding 100,000 baht.

 

 

 

 

Despite attempting to chase the suspects, heavy traffic impeded Mr. Pongsakorn's pursuit. He later saw them again near Pattaya Second Road, but they escaped into an alley. He promptly informed his company and filed a police report.

 

Mr. Pongsakorn suspects the attack could be either an intimidation tactic by a business rival or a reaction to the brightness of the LED screens. Police are now reviewing CCTV footage and investigating the motives behind the incident, reported The Pattaya News.

I've wanted to do that to those noisy ad trucks for a long time, deafening at times

In an alternate universe, I would love to fire an rpg at vehicles that blast similar  noise, as well as the ones with super bright screens flashing the advertisement nonsense incessantly. That is Assuming noone was in the vehicle, or minded, and rockets were legal to fire at them (especially by foreigners), and noone was hurt or inconvenienced, and it wasnt on a busy city street. 😁

It is amazing that vehicles like that are allowed at all.

I understand when vehicles which are used to transport people or goods have ads. But it seems these ad-vehicles only have the purpose to show ads and clock up the traffic. Just ban them and enforce that rule.

Yeah, I know, just dreaming.
