In an unusual spectacle on the roads of Pattaya, a man dressed as a monk has sparked a flurry of online attention. Captured by local resident Bang-on Chom-ngam, the video shows the man riding a motorcycle at high speed, with a large white and gold snake draped over his shoulder. The clip has since become an internet sensation, drawing intrigue and concern from viewers across Thailand.

 

The astonishing scene unfolded as the alleged monk, donning a purple helmet, weaved through traffic on a flower-adorned red motorcycle. Notably, the floral decorations obscured the vehicle's registration plate and rear light, adding another layer of danger to his bizarre adventure. Bang-on quickly recorded the incident, sharing it with local media in hopes of uncovering the man's true identity—monk or impostor.

 

As the video continues its viral ascent, local authorities have begun a thorough investigation. Security cameras are under scrutiny as police strive to locate the daredevil bike rider. Thus far, officials have made no public statements regarding the progress of the case.

 

 

 

Bang-on asserts that, monk or not, the man's reckless behaviour warrants intervention. With his unpredictable manoeuvres posing a significant threat to other motorists, she believes that authorities should hold him accountable.

 

This incident not only highlights public safety concerns but also ignites curiosity about the man's motives and his unconventional choice of pet accessory. As the story unfolds, many await further updates to unveil this peculiar mystery on Pattaya's streets, reported The Thaiger.

No Thai laws were broken here to my knowledge. Simply someone with a computer and mindless rant

Tell Bang-on to grow-up, go away, and find something else to do. She was not in any way justified in reporting such a harmless case.

Obviously not a monk!

That's an awful lot of hair hanging out of his helmet for him to be a monk.
