On 2nd November 2022, a Facebook user, Napat Teamm, shared a funny story on his FB profile about a mistake he made during the rush hour in Bangkok.
He said that he was being late to work, so he hailed a motorcycle taxi to a BTS station. After he got off and asked about the fare, the rider told him he’s not a cabbie but he wanted to take the man to the workplace in time. Once the rider finished talking, he drove away and shouted additionally at the man not to give him money.
The man allegedly checked out the vest on the rider and verified that it was indeed a security guard’s vest, belonging to a nearby construction site, according to Thairath.
