Crime Taxi Driver Blocks Ambulance, Leading to Patient’s Death in Patong
Picture courtesy of Matichon. An incident has unfolded in Phuket after a green-plate taxi obstructed an ambulance from Patong Hospital, resulting in the death of an emergency patient inside the vehicle. The event occurred on the morning of 27 April 2025 along the Kamala-Patong Road, located in Kamala Subdistrict, Kathu District, Phuket Province. According to information from the MCOT Phuket Facebook page, the deceased, identified as Mr Pradit, aged 62, had a history of heart disease. He collapsed while working in a durian orchard in the Kamala community. Relatives promptly contacted Patong Hospital, which dispatched an emergency team at 08:15. Upon reaching the scene, the ambulance team quickly placed Mr Pradit into the vehicle and began the journey towards Phuket Town for urgent medical treatment. However, en route, a green-plate taxi allegedly refused to give way, driving slowly along the leftmost lane, thereby preventing the ambulance from gaining speed as the crew continued to administer critical cardiac resuscitation. Despite the medical team’s efforts to revive him, Mr Pradit was pronounced dead at approximately 08:45. Eyewitnesses reported that the ambulance had its sirens fully activated, but the taxi driver failed to move aside. “The road was narrow, but if the taxi had just pulled over for a moment, the patient’s life might have been saved,” one witness said. Patong Hospital, together with officers from Patong Police Station, has since reviewed CCTV footage and summoned the taxi driver for questioning. Initial charges include obstructing an emergency vehicle and violating patient rights, with legal proceedings to follow. Police officials also announced that they are reviewing traffic regulations in the area and plan to launch a campaign urging motorists to yield to emergency vehicles, aiming to prevent such incidents in future.

Crime Foreign Tourists Clash with Motorcycle Rider After Littering Incident in Pattaya
One of the problems with the major tourist zones like Pattaya, Samui and Phuket, is that they attract a lot of outsiders, Thais who are not from the area, and have no local pride, and nothing invested in the area. I saw a lot of that during the years that I was living in Samui. So there's just more of a tendency to misbehave and it seems like there's more of a tendency for the place to invite all sorts of Riff Raff, looking to make a quick buck.
