Baht to basics: Tourists’ wild rides on Phuket tuk tuks spark online uproar


Recommended Posts

With Thailand expected to receive over 40 million vistors this year I suggest the locals have to put up with some bad behaviour and think back to the covid era where economic ruin was all they had to look forward too.

Thai netizens and a local news Facebook page criticised foreign tourists for their inappropriate behaviour on baht buses and tuk tuks in Phuket, expressing concerns over the safety of both the tourists themselves and other motorists.

 

The Phuket Times shared photos of foreigners on public transport in two separate posts yesterday, November 13. The images sparked safety concerns among Thai social media users and raised criticism of police for perceived inaction.

 

In the first post, two foreign men dressed in revealing attire were seen dancing on a red baht bus. The bus was stationary due to a traffic jam on Thaweewong Road, outside the Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort.

 

One of the men was seen standing and dancing on the footboard of the vehicle, while another projected himself out of the bus window.

 

In another post, a foreign man and woman were shown leaning out of a red and yellow tuk-tuk while it was stuck in traffic. Their friends could be seen cheering them on, enjoying the risky behaviour together.

 

 

The news page captioned the images, stating, “Warnings often come only after accidents! This is very dangerous. Please warn them. Sometimes, foreign tourists are overly excited.”

 

One commenter noted that the men in the first post attended a friend’s wedding and were celebrating. However, others responded, saying that the issue was not about the party but rather about safety concerns. Other netizens commented on the drama.

 

“If they fall from the vehicle, the driver will have to take responsibility.”

 

“I’ve only lived in Phuket for a year, but this has become a normal day here.”

 

“Let them do what they want. Our rescue team is ready!”

 

“Warnings won’t work. They won’t listen anyway.”

 

“Drivers let them do anything because they have money.”

 

As of now, there is no update from the local Phuket government officials and the police have not made any statements regarding the matter.

I wonder where the parents of these young children are and why are the children not in kindy or school. The Thai authorities should not waste any time and just take all of these idiots straight to the airport.

No ifs and no buts and definitely no bribes , just send them back to their own country.

If Thailand let every idiot enter this country just to boost tourist numbers, Thailand shouldn't be surprised if such cases of misconduct increase.

You might think that Thailand attracts the scum of the world like a magnet.

How do other countries judge who the idiots & scum are?

Would you care to explain, please?

(If Thailand does that, many of us here would be barred!)

No other country has this type of idiots & scum?

No, the USA is more than half full too. Looks like 50.2 % to be exact 😉

No.

In terms of trashing the public, as of 2024, there are 813 billionaires in the United States, which is about 2.4 billionaires per million people.
