Online uproar leads to Bangkok cabbie's arrest

Intimidating taxi drivers can no longer escape the long arm of the law partly because many victims can now speak up on the Internet, which is what led to the arrest of Thanet Boonsermsap, 37, in Samut Prakan yesterday.



Thanet drives a pink taxi with licence plate number "Tor [Tahan] Sor [Sala] 856" and there have been many reports on the social media of his extortion and intimidating behaviour. Just on Wednesday, a woman lambasted him for banging her car on a Bangkok road via an Internet post that was widely reported.

Rag - Love this and it's given me the idea to start a Facebook group for you to comment on bad Pattaya song-taew and motor-cyke taxi drivers. It's an open group so post your good and bad experiences, if you have any.
