Foreign driver at large after hit-and-run and chase in Bangkok (video)
A foreign driver managed to flee following a hit-and-run in the On Nut area of Bangkok and a high-speed chase with Thai motorcycle taxi riders.
An app-based motorcycle taxi rider shared a video of the incident on his TikTok account, tukgii3, on Monday, 2 December, with the caption: “On Nut is very thrilling. #HitAndRun #OutsideBigCOnNut.”
The video showed a red Honda sedan with front damage parked in the middle of the road. A group of motorcycle taxi riders and other motorcyclists were seen gathered around the vehicle. They attempted to open the car door and urged the driver to step out.
The sedan’s driver, reportedly a foreign man, refused to get out and attempted to escape the scene. Some taxi riders repeatedly hit the car, while others shouted at the driver in Thai, demanding he exit the vehicle.
The video ended before the situation was resolved because the app-based rider had to deliver his passenger to their destination. The rider later explained that he did not know how the situation concluded but confirmed that the foreigner committed a hit-and-run.
According to a report on Channel 8, the foreign man successfully escaped the scene. The vehicle’s registration number was visible in the video, making it potentially easy to trace him if police investigate the case.
The incident reportedly took place near the Phra Khanong Police Station but no officers were present in the video at the time.
In the comment section, the app-based rider assured netizens that no one was injured in the hit-and-run. However, it remains unclear whether the victim pursued legal action against the foreigner.
In a similar incident in Phuket in October, a foreign woman crashed her sedan into a motorcycle while making a reckless U-turn in the Thalang district. The woman exited her vehicle to check on the Thai victim, gave him 3,100 baht, and then left the scene.
The victim took legal action against the foreign woman, arguing that the money could not resolve the issue as she seemed to believe. However, there is no update on any legal charges or punishment for the foreign driver.
