Popular Post webfact Posted Sunday at 01:52 AM Popular Post Share Posted Sunday at 01:52 AM Picture courtesy: Thai Post Nine British tourists were detained in Phuket for disturbing the peace after riding their motorcycles recklessly and causing a public nuisance that led to numerous complaints from residents and tourists. The incident occurred early Thursday morning, with the group riding loudly along Khok San Road toward the Muang district, according to Pol Col Ekarat Plaiduang, superintendent of the Chalong police station. Reports from witnesses described their behaviour as disruptive in the otherwise quiet resort area. Police later tracked down the group, who had rented the motorcycles from Patong for the late-night ride. All nine individuals were summoned to the police station, where they faced charges for public disturbance. Their documents were checked, and each was fined, with the incident formally recorded by authorities, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2024-11-10 4 1 1 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop it. The fact is that these buffoons were riding around in a mostly tourist zone disturbing people. The hotels and tourists complained and action was taken. Your argument is that no action should have been taken because some Thais may or may not drive around without a muffler and it is weak. Another wrongful act does not excuse intentional dangerous activity. The drivers were not just making noise, but driving like idiots scaring people. The cops could not get them for that because they did not see the wrongful activity occur, but they could get them for disturbing the peace. 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Flog them, then hang draw and quarter them and deport the remains. Problem solved. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuzmabruk Posted Sunday at 11:22 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:22 PM At least the police acted. That’s a positive. We can only hope for the day that CCTV captures everything and because it’s caught on camera it must be acted upon - basically removing the police from the decision making process. Thailand loves China, why not mimic them. Record everything, prosecute everything. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never. Why should they? For you? If I were you I would not indulge in such "whataboutism" since nobody cares to hear it and it does no good. Instead of complaining about something you can do nothing about you should do something to help. Unless you want to protest and picket your local police station, what Thai people do is their concern and not yours. Did you forget that this is not your country? TIT. If police already have their share of local problems then they have every right to tell foreigners they are not welcome to come here and do the same thing. If you're going to complain I suggest you find a cause in which you can do some good, like maybe picking up litter in some of the nicer places such as Koh Larn. Maybe do some volunteer work for the poor. Edited Monday at 04:24 AM by Jonathan Swift 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
