A foreign man created a scene in Phuket after driving against traffic and confronting a Thai woman in a heated road dispute.

 

The dramatic incident unfolded on Thursday, June 19, around 8:10 pm on the busy Kalim-Kamala Road, a stretch known for its bustling two-lane traffic.

 

Sharing her ordeal on Facebook, the Thai woman described how the man, allegedly intoxicated, drove his white BMW erratically, breaking from a long queue amid snarling traffic.

 

Dashcam footage reveals the BMW recklessly cutting across lanes, eventually halting directly in front of the woman’s vehicle.

 

With hazard lights flashing, the driver signalled her to move aside, but she stood her ground. This prompted the agitated driver to exit his car, approaching her with visible frustration, angrily gesticulating and striking the side of her car.

 

Fearing further escalation, the woman finally allowed him to pass and later reported the incident to Patong Police Station. Her dashcam had captured the vehicle’s registration plate, providing clear evidence of the encounter.

 

A witness to the commotion shared online that the BMW driver repeatedly tried to cut the queue, but was constantly blocked by other motorists. The victim noted in her post that the traffic lines were clearly marked, and the driver should have waited his turn like everyone else.

 

The incident highlights the stress of road rage incidents and reflects ongoing concerns about maintaining order on Phuket's bustling streets.

This kind of language is hardly ever used to speak about the daily carnage all over the country.

 

I wonder why.....
