PHUKET: A Saudi Arabian visitor was assaulted outside a Phuket motel on Sunday, and three cabs – taxi drivers were detained on Monday.
Following a picture that was posted on social media allegedly showing tuk-tu driver attacks on Saudi tourists at the Amata Hotel on Rat Uthit 200 Years Road in the Patong location on Sunday, PatONG authorities opened an inspection.
Police detained three men in the Patong area — Anusorn, 29, Apisit, 26, and Nusrulloh, 28, all of whom were taxi drivers — after reviewing footage from nearby security cameras. They did not give their whole names. & nbsp,
According to authorities, Mr. Anusorn drove the visitor to the 7Q Patong Beach Hotel on Rat Uthit 200 Years Road from the jaws of Soi Saen Sabai around 6.15 a.m. on Sunday. The agreed-upon price was 200 ringgit. The customer claimed that wasn’t where he was staying when the limo – tok arrived at the hotel. He requested that Mr. Anusorn get him to the Amata Hotel, which is located on Rat Uthit 200 Years Road as well.
When they got there, the tuk-tok drivers demanded 400 baht, which was twice the price that had been agreed upon. & nbsp,
According to police, the Arabian man refused to pay the full amount, and the two men argued. Therefore, according to reports, Mr. Anusorn dialed his cellphone and requested assistance from Mrs. Apisit and Nusrulloh.
The two guys attacked the Royal tourists when they arrived because the two sides were still unable to resolve the fare dispute, according to authorities.
Indicted for rape in the Phuket Court were the three owners of the limo. Police announced that they would also request a suspension of functioning licenses from the Phuket transportation office.
