Jomtien early morning - close call

[manarak]

Seen this morning at approx. 1:45 am at the thappraya/thepprasit intersection:

A small white car (maybe honda Jazz or similar) was stopped on Thepprasit, several motorbikes around, in discussion with the driver.

A minute later, I hear a loud bang similar to a large well-compressed firecracker or maybe from a revolver, I turn my head, and I see he white car stopped opposite Gian's on Thappraya, the driver waving frustrated and motorcycles speeding away.

any news reports?

Dek waen racing their bikes, you heard the starting shot...

[Shurup]

Were they Thai?

If locals, there won't be any reports if nobody got hurt, me think.

If the car driver was a big mouth Yank (Brit, etc, insert whatever nationality you like, or dislike), then there may be a report tomorrow or the day after.

Smart money is on #2 based on the absolutely useless 'eye witness' description of events.

"And this just in... a driver was seen waving on Thappraya around 2AM this morning after a loud noise."
