A viral video circulating on Thai social media has sparked controversy, depicting a couple engaging in a dangerous motorcycle stunt. However, police have clarified that the incident did not occur in Pattaya, as rumours initially suggested.

 

The video shows a Thai man recklessly riding a motorcycle at high speed, performing wheelies, while his girlfriend leans back precariously, touching the road with her hands. The captions dramatically labeled them as "The annoying couple of Pattaya," provoking a backlash online.

 

Many netizens criticised the pair for their hazardous antics, with some harshly speculating about potential injuries or fatal accidents. They also questioned the response from Mueang Pattaya Police Station, demanding accountability.

 

 

 

In response, Superintendent Anake Sathongyu addressed the public on April 1, confirming that the stunt did not occur in Pattaya. While he identified the incident as having taken place abroad, he withheld details of the specific location. Authorities have pinpointed the source of the misinformation and plan to summon the responsible individual for legal action.

 

Anake reassured Pattaya's residents, emphasising that the city's reputation would not be tarnished by such false claims. This episode bears similarities to a previous incident from May 2024, when a controversial video misattributed to Thailand was eventually confirmed to have been filmed in Indonesia.

 

Through both incidents, Thai police have maintained a stance of integrity in preserving the nation's image, promptly addressing and dispelling misleading information, reported The Thaiger.

And in flip flops.  I guess they have never had an accident one wrong move and their foot is badly injured or gone.

I don't recognise any of the background in the video so maybe the police are right?  (There's a 1st!)

Indeed. The only road that wide would be Sukhumvit.

And that does not have so much green on the sides.

Alternatively, it is easier to deny it's in Pattaya than to do anything.

It takes lots of effort to lift your feet and place them on the foot rest

Breaking in new flip-flops?

 

cunning stunts 

 

 

I admire the raw courage of the girl sitting behind... she is having one of the best adrenaline rush one can feel... reminds me of my college days... we used to do all crazy stuff on bikes... it's normal do be this way in late teens or early twenties... 

Yeah risks are involved but in that age... craziness matters... nobody thinks about the fatal results...

World was a better place b4 the social media... wherein we could do all the funny and crazy stuff... with majority admiring and a few criticising... and if someone who knew us and would report at home... then i used to get nice beating from mom... I loved it... my siblings and friends loved it... And, mom knew ... m a crazy guy... ❤️

To thin out the soles of their new flip-flops making them more flexible?

Looks like they have a lot of fun, Until, ....The crying.

She asked me to get it up and go fast.

 

Last young one for me.
