Smart fella getting wasted to bejesus and carrying around all his stuff. Let's hope he gets lucky and gets it all back and the guy gets a slap on his wrist for being a bad boy Taxi.

He should have trusted his Thai girlfriend instead of trusting himself when drunk....

It always amazed me how people will get blackout drunk by themselves in publc.  Im not one to judge as i am a semi-professional at killing my own liver but when in public solo im always careful not to go past the point (or even approach the point) i cant make it home.  I have on numerous occasions seen foreigners either passed out or beyond able to function in the tourist areas by themselves.  the sad part is you cant even help them because they are so out of it they cant even answer where they are staying.

Give Thais a bad name. Probably didn't happen in Chiang mai, Probably Phuket.

Looks like Sukhumvit Soi 22. There are not many stops in this street to get drunk anymore at least compared to a few years back.

On planet Earth.

‘Maybe some follow up reporting may help us here to let us decide if we go out drinking to grab a taxi somewhere on the planet whether it’s safe or not. Or are the news outlets worried of Thai law.

So the taxi driver robbed him blind but left his back doors intact (definitely wasn't in Pattaya then).

Actions have consequences... get blind drunk... pay hefty fee... consider yourself lucky.

More quality tourists. The new entry rules are having an effect already.

I bought 2 cameras. One for the front and one for the back. For example: if a vehicle hits you from behind and pushes you off the road at an angle your front camera won’t even see it as it passes you. Or a vehicle hits the back of your vehicle at double the speed limit but he claims you suddenly stopped in the middle of the road or pulled onto the road in front of him. Cameras are cheaper than a compromise.

Only incriminating if you can ID the hit and run driver.

Years ago I was dating a Thai woman (girl really) who didnt drink very often.  We were on Ko San one night and she decided to get plastered and it ended up with me carrying her on my back down the street to a taxi to get home.  didnt mind other than a few dirty looks i got as i could see a few people were assuming that her state was of my doing.
