Traveller45 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I don't buy that story. The taxi driver sits in the car, opens the trunk and let someone lift at least 50 KG in his trunk without standing next to him? And then he "forgets" to remind the teenage boy of his luggage? Sounds strange doesn't it. Don't forget though, it was dark, people are lazy and there is this remote opening button for the trunk. Still, if I were the taxi driver I would have at least watched the young guy in the mirror, car lights maybe helping a little, and a dead person over the shoulder should have been conspicuous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratcatcher Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've left a few taxis smelling like someone had died in it after a night on the beer. I am surprised that after a night on the beer that you can smell anything Arthur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorriedNoodle Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It doesn't need a lot of smarts to be a taxi driver in Thailand. You need more than that to come up with a good story to cover your tracks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sumtingwong Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The article says the victim was in his 20's with his throat cut. Must be a Thai victim since it does not say otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albertosez Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Arrest the cabbie on suspicion of everything - unless he has CCTV recording of someone loading the body in to his Taxi.

Not many will offer assistance and if the kid shouted he's got it, the driver would happily have sat in his seat eating some vile smelling stuff.. He probably thought all of his Christmases had come at once when the kid "forgot" the package in the boot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR COCONUT Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Are you <deleted> kidding me! Trust me if it was a bag of cash he would of never came back! He just didn't want to Hey caught with the body. How do we know the driver didn't put it there? If you put something in the trunk the size of a bag, what are the chances that you are <deleted> going to forget it!

If the passenger put it there, I seriously doubt he forgot. That was a deliberate move, and then vanished into the crowd, probably never to be seen again.

Artisi Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 In the original Bk Post article it said the man was 20-25, which is NOT a teenager, who hailed a cab in Samut Sakhon, had the driver wait while he put the "package" in the trunk, then had the driver drop him off at the Samae dam area in Bang Khun Thien area of Bangkok. Typical Thai reporting, no two stories are the same. No one seems to bother to actually check little things like FACTS. Facts, facts, come on now where do you think you are?

Will probably be classed as suicide anyway, the "fare" climbed into the boot, got into the plastic bag and suffocated - end of story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 There's another good Samaritan taxi driver who only want to return lost stuff to it's rightful owners...

The stuttering parrot Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 According to the BP after the driver found the body he then went looking for the passenger and then reported it to police. What would happen if he found him?.Excuse me sir but you left you body in the boot! Then the BP say the body was put in a bin. The stories all over the place.

arthurwait Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 seems strange how the teenager managed to get a man's dead body to the roadside, hail down a cab (presumably with the dead body by his side), got the driver to open the boot, lifted the dead body, and squeezed it into the boot, all by the side of a public road, without raising any suspicions... ...maybe he offered the driver a meter +50 baht deal He agreed to go halves on the body fee, but he stiffed him.
