Taxi driver arrested for cheating South Korean tourist in Bangkok – VIDEO
A taxi driver in Bangkok has been arrested after allegedly intimidating and overcharging a South Korean tourist passenger.
The arrest from Tourist Police follows a user tagging the Tourist Police Bureau in a post in his Facebook post accusing a taxi driver of allegedly intimidating and overcharging the South Korean passenger using the taxi service from Siam Square to Rangsit in Pathum Thani (just north of Bangkok). The cabbie charged him 700 baht, almost double the estimated fare.
The cabbie initially charged 950 baht, but the passenger complained about overcharging.
This prompted the Tourist Police to look into the allegation and contact the owner f the Facebook page to get some further details about the incident. Tourist police then began tracking down the taxi driver, who was subsequently arrested and charged.
