Brit arrested for tuk-tuk robbery in Phuket

[Familyaffairs]

Phuket's honest, benevolent tuk tuk drivers, monuments of integrity, kindness, flexibility and true hospitable ambassadors for the island treated in such a horrid way one might ponder....

A no baht bus, only credit card and licence.

Stupid Farang

Guess, you've never been to Phuket.

Ever thought of lightening up and developing a sense of humour?

 

Ha ha ha, Suradit69 develop a sense of humour? Suradit takes his duties as "Thai Apologist Number 1" very seriously.

 

Every one of his posts must denigrate "farangs", or paint Thais in a favourable light. That's all he ever "contributes" to this forum.

In addition to the theft, he should be charged for whatever that is that appears to be on his head.

 

 A watermelon?

 Thai apologists like "Suridit69" dont have a sense of humour, or a life.

They are songtaews, not tuk tuks. ok?

 

In Phuket these are called TukTuks ...  as in private hire starting at 200 baht. We do have songtaews ... these are called public buses usually about 30 baht. See my avatar ...

This is a Phuket tuk tuk. Which is why the drivers pester you with "tuk tuk" and not "songthaew" or "baht bus".

     With a lawn mower engine? 

[Old Croc]

For the pedants, these vehicles are called tuk tuks by everyone in Phuket Province. The little 3 wheeled things found elsewhere can't get up the hills here.

Amazing that when the low life is a Brit. how so many want to make excuses for them. It's a different story if an Australian stuffs up!

No.

[somchai jones]

Gotta chuckle at the usual suspects from the TV bitter brigade........inevitable that they'd blame the Thai driver for having his own wallet stolen......is it any wonder that the Thai Visa WOFs (whinging old farts) are considered a laughing stock by the other ex pats here........

[Docno]

Whatever happened to honour among thieves??

But in most of 'Thailand' they are normally called Subarus regardless of actual maker.  They are based on Subaru Sambar truck.  But you enter from the side rather than two rows (songtaews).

And yet the daylight robbery these same tuk tuk drivers perpetrate with their overpriced fares and boorish behaviour when on duty everyday goes completely unpunished.

Another fail for the BIB. And am not saying this idiot deserved to get his stuff stolen, but not locking his door is a pretty dumb move by any standards

So have you ever made a "pretty dumb move" in your life? Of course not, right?

[daveAustin]

Darn, was hoping a whitey had driven off with a real tuk-tuk. That woulda been worth a laugh, but instead we have a petty pilferer (by the looks). Never mind, I'm sure the tuk-tuk driver will get over it and make up for it; he's probably ripping tourists off everyday in any case.

 

Score: farangs - 1 / tuk-tuk drivers - about 999,999

[Chicog]

This is a Songthaew, otherwise known as "Baht bus". Which is why the drivers do not pester you with "tuk tuk".

 

[Chicog]

This is the sort of  tuk tuk seen outside Phuket. Drivers will pester you with "tuk tuk".

Whenever I think I have learned about the worst farang lowlifes and scumbags there is another superlative.

 

I agree 100%. But if you added the word British in your post it would be removed. Why so thin skinned? Every other country takes a hit or two on here everyday big deal!

[gemguy]

Damn...Some farang stole the money that I stole from other farang

Is that what they are implying?

Thailand can be confusing sometimes...lol

Get over it- in Phuket they are TUK TUKs! There are some small songtaews used as buses on rural routes. Most regard a songtaew as a get on/get off vehicle with random stops- this is NOT how the tuk tuks operate.

 

I bow to the superior knowledge of people that do not live in Phuket though!

Maybe people in Phuket call them tuk-tuks, but they are not.

 

The Thai road laws treat tuk-tuks very differently to four-wheel vehicles..... but I realise this is getting into semantics.

 

Same, same, but different?

[Grubster]

I would say 30 days behind the tall mysterious wall and then the boot will suffice. Good luck 

[oldrunner]

I knew that Britishbrickbat (or whatever) was going to have dire consequences on the Brit tourists. That "hat" appears to be the leavings of  an American Brown bear.

He was supposed to go to Cox's and get a seersucker hat. Instead he went to Sears.

Maybe the Thai Police nicknamed him the "Robin Hood tuk-tuk thief."

 Exactly.  "Suridit69" should get a life and enjoy Thailand.
