Authorities in Phuket are on the hunt for three foreign individuals involved in a hit-and-run incident that occurred outside Patong Hospital three days ago. The culprits allegedly collided with a Thai motorcyclist using a pickup truck and subsequently threatened him with a knife when confronted.

 

The encounter was captured in a 33-second video shared by Facebook user “Je Moi v+”, drawing widespread attention and prompting public outcry. The post detailed how the foreigners got aggressive and brandished a knife before fleeing the scene.

 

 

Despite the delay, the motorcycle rider assured the press that the local police are actively investigating, maintaining regular updates on the case. However, frustration has grown online as critics argue the suspects may have already left the country.

 

Public sentiment remains tense, with social media comments reflecting anger and scepticism about justice being served swiftly. Authorities urge the public to stay vigilant, hoping for leads from local residents as they intensify their search for the suspects, reported Thai Newsroom.

Hunt their arses down and throw them out.

The news reporting places must be loving all these types of posts normally they only get to write about a dog walking across the road but now with these free visas every scumbag gets into this country and acts likes they do back home,, look at the increase in crimes all across the country because of these visas, it's time they were thrown out for the safety of the local people and honest expats that call Thailand home. 

It's not like there bring in money it's the exact opposite look at all the Russians working illegally and the Nigerians coming here to do drugs.

Mimicking locals will not be tolerated.

Driver was the one with the knife ?

If so looks like he would need it or a gun from the way he runs . Last about 5 seconds in a fight before getting his head done in .

Agreed, but how many of those are like zombies or undetected bombs here and how many will follow?

And the big question: how to prevent?

[cookie1974]

More quality tourists making complete c**ts of themselves, honestly im at a loss to describe  what has happened to Thailand in the last few years,its become a dumping ground for every piece of s**t on the planet, i think a change of scenery might be in order soon😞😞

True! Probably will be 1-2 a week for an unforseen future. Seems like it is Russian, Israelis and Chinese in majority. 

How to prevent, that´s the hard thing, as we don´t know if it´s even possible to prevent. Ok, always possible. Could make it simple. If do it, as it´s not a normal thing to do, and the should not want such people here. That would be to send to IDC and deport. If that was the constant punishment, I think people would think twice before doing it.

some places in Thailand seem to look  more and more like sewers each day that goes bye (always the same ones apparently. Mostly).

[ujayujay]

cheekiness....threats with knives are reserved for Thais

I think there is a connection to visa regulation.

Before introduce the DTA and a possible 90 days stay here it seems to me there haven't been so many "incidents'.

Thailand might go down the river if they can't find a Balance between money and quality.

I can understand the "outcry" of the public, but they should address their government.

Yeah, they should address the government, but does the government hear them?

THE Russians, THE Nigerians.

How many are here and how many are involved in "incidents"?

THE Brit's.

How many are here and how many are involved in "incidents"?

I think it's not connected to countries where they are from but insufficient visa regulations.

It's started with visa free entry and DTA.

I hope the government will realize that.

[DonniePeverley]

Thailand used to be such a beautiful, serene place. WHat's happened over the past few years?

 

Oh wait they opened the borders and let them stay for a time.

Talk about sensational article writing. All I saw in the video was a lot of mouth yapping and chest beating. I'm glad I'm not living in Phuket, I don't know how I would get any sleep knowing that these hardened foreign criminals are on the loose ...555.

Unfortunately the reality is different. The government already knows and are actively, with full force, trying to deny.

[Patong2021]

No mention of the lead up to the event. For all anyone knows the moto driver may have threatened the truck.

Yes, that's tragic to lose face here and to admit a mistake.

I've lived in Samui for nearly 20 years, and have never seen behaviour such as this - in actual fact I have never seen a fight! Sure, they do happen, but I've never seen one and I do frequent the bars. Maybe I'm just lucky, I guess. However, I have seen - this year in particular, an increase in irresponsible behaviour on the roads from tourists on motor bikes, and quite a few accidents (some serious) And the number of people riding bikes without helmets is increasing - the police used to do "helmet checks" but I've not seen one for the last couple of years - maybe because I'm not on the roads so much these days, but the number of bare chested farangs flying about the place on "big bikes" is certainly becoming a problem. 

Maybe the police should be doing more?  🤣

[Kinok Farang]

Oh how i miss the good old days when farangs (usually Brits) got drunk,picked a fight,got beat up then staggered home.

What about irresponsible behavior on the roads from Thais?

 

Does that also exist or is it just so common that it is the norm.

[erectem]

Listen to the video esp. the part "farang sam tua" .  Tua as a classifier is used for animals (it) .  

 

The classifier for people is khon.

[malibukid]

the reason why Thailand does not require background checks is because it would impact tourism

[wazzupnow]

wow these farangs must be in Thailand for a very long time they adapted perfectly mostly the thai are  chopping  with knives

i have been attacked from a truck driver with a machete once  after he almost drove me off the road 

[smew]

more quality visitors, most likely putin sheep are showing off when outside russia..

[baansgr]

Stop DTV now!!!..too many youngsters and many darker ones. Most.working illegally as drug dealers, nanny's, real estate and yoga teachers. They have no respect for themselves let alone Thailand. The state of Phuket and Samui is like a hell hole from africa smattered with council state vermin..get them out!??
