Three young men responsible for performing audacious stunts on luxury BMW motorcycles were arrested after causing concern on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road. The trio, administrators of a popular Facebook page, faced immediate action from the authorities, leading to the seizure of their prized vehicles and accessories valued at 500,000 baht.

 

Kampee, aged 25, Jittipong, 28, and 22-year-old Chunchaisak found themselves in legal hot water after their late-night antics were uploaded online, capturing the attention of law enforcement. The video showed thrilling, yet perilous wheelies and manoeuvres on a blue BMW S 1000 RR, dangerous displays that quickly gathered substantial views across social media platforms.

 

Police quickly identified the vehicles involved through CCTV and tasked officers Siam Boonsom, Thawat Wongsonga, and Surachet Bundit with apprehending the trio. Their actions - flaunted in front of a burgeoning online audience on platforms like TikTok and their Facebook group 'Lun Don', which boasts 140,000 members - drew public ire and official scrutiny.

 

 

Upon arrest, the young men faced several charges including reckless and dangerous driving, and Kampee faced further charges for promoting this behaviour online. Their court appearance in Don Mueang led to suspended sentences for all involved, alongside fines and the confiscation of their luxury motorcycles - a stern reminder of the law's reach.

 

The Royal Thai Police emphasised their commitment to halting reckless driving practices, reaffirming the severe legal repercussions awaiting those who partake or encourage such activities. The case serves as a high-profile warning to others engaging in or endorsing illegal street racing or stunts.

The dinosaurs do not like the idea of young people having a bit of fun.

They were doing this on public roads? Idiots. I'm sure they could have found a parking lot somewhere. Lock them up, keep the bikes, fine them enough they can't buy more.

The OP fails to sa if they did these stunts on a open road causing any danger to the public or violating any traffic laws. Since none of those charges were addressed I fail to see why they were charged for the other things. Stunts should not be a crime unless endangering others. If people stop trying to challenge themselves in ways that may be dangerous. Then we as people become passive sheep waiting for the herder to give us things. There is no bravery. Also, I have seen in parades these types of stunts in the USA and China. Quite popular for fans of it to watch. 

It is an expensive lesson these kids learned this time. One I am sure they regret.

Yes, indeed. It doesn't look like a photo of the main Rangsit road.

When will the authorities start to provide offroad space for these guys and girls to enjoy themselves? Freestyle events are very popular as are enduro and speedway. A particular favorite, hill climbing (motorcycle trials) is great fun. With no real hills in Bangkok, manmade hills could be created.

Give young people an outlet for their energy.

The OP says they were, "arrested after causing concern on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road."

 

It then goes on to state, "the young men faced several charges including reckless and dangerous driving."

 

Sounds like they were on an open road, causing danger to the public and violating traffic laws, to me.
