Is Pattaya a tourist town or a mafia town? Questions asked after driver hemmed in
The “black plate mafia” were blamed after a clip showing more illegal behavior in Pattaya hit the internet.
Thai Rath reported that the “Khreua Sahaphat – Laem Chabang” page posted a video of a driver who was picking up some tourists.
He is hemmed in by a car in front and a man comes to confront him. The driver in the car is filming and the other man says in a calm but vaguely threatening manner:
“Carry on filming. Go on”.
The driver says he is being hemmed in but the other one says he is not.
So the driver makes to go before the car ahead moves to the right making it impossible for him to pass.
The incident happened in Na Klua Soi 12. Thai Rath said it seemed to be over a queuing system.
Details were sketchy but Thai Rath promised to follow up on the story.
Another incident barely 24 hours before featured a fight between an Uber driver and a taxi driver.
The first poster on the thread asked: “Is Pattaya a tourist town or a mafia town?”. Others wanted the authorities to act.
