As in the nutty-judge case, the videographer now faces the danger of prosecution for damaging the reputation of taxi drivers!

Moto man should have head butted the driver

What a dumb taxi driver. I bet his knuckles are going to hurt in the morning.

Been here 10 years but still get upset on internet forums at lighthearted comments. Not surprising if you ride a bike in Bkk traffic

Not a part of my heritage/culture to head butt (or kick) someone. Each to his own I guess.

Hmmmm......strange way of fighting for 2 Thais.

From what I have always understood, all the Thai tough guys believe they are skilled Muay Thai style fighters.

I did not see any Muay Thai style fighting going on so I was really disappointed...while I was expecting an iron bar or baseball bat or a gun or a knife to be pulled during the altercation.

And then the Bozo operating the camera goes and turns the camera away to film the taxi cab and not the end of the fight....Duh!

Cheers

Get these drugged up a-holes of the road. Fine for fighting but no drug test. Why. Because of Mafia connections and they all would fail and make Thailand even worst than it looks now!

yep, and it works really well. Cheaper (just, but no need to tip either) than regular taxis too.

Yes I did. Surge pricing is cheeky, I admit.
