Traffic congestion is a common issue in Bangkok, often caused by the sheer volume of vehicles on the roads and accidents and unforeseen incidents which further exacerbates the situation. However, traffic was held up yesterday, January 7, by an unusual cause when a man clad only in boxer shorts parked his convertible Mercedes in the middle of the road and stood outside the car.

 

TikTok user @aapnakub shared a video taken while driving on the express lane on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road and unexpectedly encountered a traffic jam.

 

Upon reaching the source of the congestion, a Thai man, standing shirtless with only boxer shorts on, was the cause of the commotion after he parked his convertible Mercedes in the middle of the road.

 

 

The man was just standing there, looking around, baffling other drivers to what he was doing. His actions left many puzzled as to whether he was unwell or creating content, reported KhaoSod.

 

There has been no updated news on whether the police will charge the man for his inappropriate behaviour.

... Just take a drive down Thonglor....   its clearly an ok thing for those in 'higher brand cars' to do...  just double park, put the hazard lights on..   its ok, they are doing something important like popping into seven !!... 

Where's an 18-wheeler with dodgy brakes when you need one ?

 So not just waiting and looking around for the tow-truck to remove his broken-down Mercedes then?  Glad you cleared that up.

For a start the car is parked at the side of the road not the middle.  Could have a car fault.

Parked in the outside lane.....

I'd suspect a driver fault.

well we do agree he was not parked in the middle of the road as per the report. 

The driver was heard saying --- 

 Man, that's one good fart I let go, even I had to get out of the car

man blocks Bangkok traffic with Mercedes

just standing there

Lots of crazy people driving those 20 years old Mercs. 

 

It's probably broken down again, he's fed up with forking out truck loads of cash for repairs. 

 

Lock him up! 

I think he lost a bet and had to fulfill a 'dare'.
