Good work! Keep catching the Bad members off the Tuk Tuk gangs fast. Also when farangs are victims please.

Cool :)

tuk-tuk driver "Pairat Keaupong" was arrested? - Officers praised victims Aekkacchai Waihyue, 25, and "Pairat Keaupong", 26, for coming forward?

Disgusting action by this tuk-tuk driver. Doesn't he know it is only the police who are allowed to extort money from Burmese for being Burmese?

Tuk-tuk drivers should stick to extorting money from tourists for being tourists.

I'm sure if the police walked around Patong and other tourist areas and carried out random checks on tuk-tuk drivers and their vehicles they would be able to catch many more unsavoury characters like this one. But i suppose that's to easy and too much tea money would be lost!

I would like to second tron123. Is it a strange coincidence or why are one victim and the driver license less tuktuk police impersonator same named in the article?

I was about to mention the victim/offender naming error, but I noticed it had already been mentioned (and the article emended). But given that Lena got 'reader of the month award' for being the second person to point out the boo boo, do I get reader of the year for being the third?
