observer90210 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The taxi had no choice but to flee as he had not cheated sufficient farangs on their taxi rides and made enough cash to pay the bribe...sorry the fine, to the boys in brown.. Wishing a prompt recovery to the innocent victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moti24 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Any boneheaded, spineless driver who has fled the scene after an accident, should be charged with DUI automatically, when caught. I'm convinced that this fleeing the scene, so common in Thailand, is due to the consumption of Lao Khao being a national hobby amongst the working class.
