Taxi driver with a gun sparks online debate

A passenger posted pictures of a Thai taxi driver with a gun attached to the dash.

He said humorously on the “Khrai Mai Jeng – Goo Jeng” Facebook site:

“You can take me anywhere, mate. I really don’t mind if you take the long way round”.

But it was no laughing matter for netizens who said it was scary and demanded that the authorities take action.

Was the gun even registered and why did he have it?, they demanded.

Some suggested the gun was for self-defense and might not have been real.

Thaivisa suggests that you might want to stay tuned for the response from the Department of Land Transport.
