A U Drink I Drive company driver was assaulted by political activist Tanat “Luk Nat” Thanakitamnuay, during a ride from Bangkok to a Chon Buri shooting range. Luk Nat punched driver Chalongchai in the face before threatening him with a gun, prompting Chalongchai to flee and seek refuge at a nearby hotel. The attacker pursued and further assaulted Chalongchai, later stealing his wallet and driving licence.

 

The incident was shared by company co-founder Apinara “Prang” Srikarnchana on TikTok to seek justice for Chalongchai. Prang reported that Luk Nat paid 70,000 baht in compensation. Despite the payment, both Chalongchai and the company refused to drop legal charges, emphasizing the need for accountability.

 

Luk Nat, who has a criminal history, was previously arrested in August for illegal firearms and drug possession after police found over 20 firearms and drugs at his residence. He faces additional accusations of assault by several ladyboys. Prang urged the police to investigate the recent attack thoroughly and ensure legal action is taken against Luk Nat.

 

Looking forward, the Bang Lamung Police Station is actively gathering evidence to issue an arrest warrant for Luk Nat. Prang vowed to pursue the case fully, ensuring that justice is served without compromise. The incident has drawn attention to Luk Nat's history of illegal behavior and violence.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Political activist Luk Nat assaulted and threatened a ride service driver.
  • He has a criminal background, including firearms and drug charges.
  • Legal proceedings are ongoing despite partial compensation.
