According to Thai media news, recently, a dashcam video went viral on Thai social media. In the video, a tuk-tuk driver argues with a group of foreign tourists in a section of a road in Patong, Phuket, Thailand, during which the driver punches the tourist in the face. After the video went viral, it attracted the attention of the Patong police and began to investigate.
According to the investigation, the scene in the video occurred at about 23:51 local time on September 2, when the tuk-tuk driver Chinaphorn negotiated with five Indian tourists to deliver them to the hotel at Bengal Road, a well-known pedestrian street in Patong. However, upon arriving at the hotel, Chinaphong and the tourists had a fierce argument on the side of the road because the fare was not negotiated, causing confusion and disturbing the surrounding people, during which Chinaphong also slapped one of the Indian tourists.
It is understood that the police initially fined Chinaphorn 500 baht for openly beating others and committing bad behavior in public places, and criticized and educated him, and Chinaphorn promised not to commit it again in the future.
