    Egyptian Man Attacks Taxi Driver and Damages His Taxi in Phuket

    An Egyptian man attacked a taxi driver and damaged his taxi car in Cherng Talay on Friday night (March 22nd).


    Captain Khajonkiet Kamwichairat of the Thalang Police told the Phuket Express that they were notified of the incident at 10:30 P.M. on the day in question from Mr. Suriya Plodmai, 34, from Nakhon Si Thammarat. He told police that a foreign man attacked him and damaged his taxi car in Soi Bang Tao 4/3. Police arrived at the scene to find the SUV taxi whose glass windows were damaged. The taxi driver and the foreign man who was later identified only as Mr. BASEM, 31, an Egyptian national, were waiting for police at the scene.


    The taxi driver told police that he picked up the Egyptian man from Patong to Bang Tao. They agreed on a 450-baht taxi fee. When they arrived at the destination, the Egyptian asked to use the taxi driver’s mobile phone to call his friend. However, he allegedly refused to give back the mobile phone before allegedly throwing the mobile phone. The Egyptian man then allegedly attacked the taxi driver and used an iron pole to hit his taxi car.

    The incident was witnessed by local residents nearby. The Egyptian man was taken to a hospital for a mental health check. His family and embassy are being informed of the incident.

    So not an argument about the fare?

    The only reasonable explanation is that it was an argument sparked by the driver trying to rip the punter off, and the taxi driver is bullshitting.

    Moscow, Manchester, New York, London, Madrid, Paris. etc.etc.etc.

    Inbred brainwashed naive simpletons encouraged by bloodthirsty, hateful and demented priests.

    Slowly but surely taking the world back to the stone age as the stupidly tolerant look on.

    Am I the only thinking that the policeman is just hoping that the crazy foreigner doesn't take his gun away from him?

    The Christian Nazis took out over 25 millions and devastated half a continent only 80 years ago. Reckon the islamists have a way to go before they even begin to put a dent in whitey’s capacity for slaughter.

    Tax, you’re such an arse with this northern tyke imbecilic bigotry.

    The Eastern Orthodox fellas from Ukraine and Russia seem to enjoy killing each other. How many have died so far? Quarter of a million? More?

    Let's have some Buddhist numbers.

    They are often un-fairly overlooked

    Indeed, helge, we need to be fair and balanced, as is the TD tradition. We should therefore not forget to mention the Jews of Israel. They are always up for a bit of killing and maiming. They have killed over 30,000 men women and children in the last 6 months alone. Probably the second highest group of killers this year after the Eastern Orthodox Christians.

    No. You are not alone with that thought.

    Mahayana ("Greater Vehicle") Buddhism practiced by the Japs.

    From the invasion of China in 1937 to the end of World War II, the Japanese military regime murdered near 3,000,000 to over 10,000,000 people, most probably almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war.

    The Khmer not to be outdone saw over 2 million slaughtered in a year or so but then, they were trying to emulate the Red Terror a la Robespierre et al.

    Frankly, the muslims are relatively restrained within conflict zones in comparison.
