Van driver in Phuket charged with threatening Singaporean tourist in $2.87 dispute
A van driver in Phuket, Thailand, has been charged by provincial police for threatening a Singaporean tourist.
The conflict arose when the tourist was informed of an additional fee of 100 Baht (2.87 USD) to be taken to a hotel just 1km away from the drop-off location.
The tourist’s refusal to pay and dissatisfaction with the driver’s handling of his luggage further escalated the situation.
