Video: Just another day on the Thai roads! Traffic stops to see 'Win' vs Taxi fight

 

Picture: Thairath

 

BANGKOK: -- Traffic came to a standstill in Bangkok when a motorcycle taxi rider and a taxi driver settled an argument in the middle of the road.

 

Thai Rath reported that after a few blows were exchanged the protagonists seemed satisfied and got back on and into their vehicles

as if nothing had happened.

 

But traffic on both sides of the road stopped so everyone could enjoy the fight.

 

That Rath added that people online commented that either they were getting a bit of anger out of their systems or perhaps the extreme

heat in Bangkok was making them hot under the collar.

 

The footage from a dash cam was uploaded onto Facebook by "Chananat Sornsena" who commented that the fight took place in front of Klong Thom market.

Throw in a bus driver and we can all watch a gladiatorial fight between 3 of those most despised motorists on the roads! I would stop and watch too.

A rather erroneous statement, more like they couldn't get past cos of a couple of plonkers playing handbags at dawn n the middle of the road

[DrTuner]

Dumb and dumber.

[leeneeds]

Not a policeman in sight,

gifted money just passed them by,

[sandemara]

What a civilised exercise of road rage. A few savage pushes and clutchings at clothes. Knees, grunts, gasps and epithets seemed to be the most-favoured weapons.  How pleasing: no extra gang members were conscripted, no extra weapons.Was there some polite applause and encouragement from spectators?  The two warriors might have been supernumary inactive post Bangkok kindergarten teachers trying to relive their glory days as the toughest gladiators  in the classroom. Old age and alcohol might have caught up with them, however.

One-on-one. Respect

That only saw a bit of grabbing. No real punches thrown that I saw. I commend them for keeping it one on one. Reminds me of my youth. Loser buys the first round!!!

Throw in a uber and a grab driver and we can have a glorious tag team fight.

And the fight ended quite quickly when they both realised nobody was going to back them up and therefore it was a one on one.

I prefer Parma ham, plenty of veg and cheese, thin base of course.

One of the cars should have run both of

them over....enoush of this stupid behavior.

[TKDfella]

Where's the Ref?

[NoshowJones]

Thais fighting one on one?? That sure makes a change, or is the usual 6 to 1 only when the one is a Farang?

[CantSpell]

Had a  passenger van driver arrived on the scene, the rest would have high-tailed it.

My thoughts too, no mates around to back up either man they decide to give up!

Motorbike rider had the edge & sense to keep his helmet on.. not much to aim at for the taxi man..

[Happyman58]

I know one took offence because the other one called out Hey mate dont you know the road rules lol He just hit a raw nerve when he said that thats all

[rkidlad]

This story is truly funny. It's funny because the people fighting are too poor to sue the uploader of the video for defamation. So it's just a funny story, ha ha. 

 

Had one or both of the people fighting been rich - it wouldn't have been funny then. It would have been serious. Can't just go round filming people fighting and making them look bad. No, no.

Where are the speeding buses with bad brakes when you need them?
