Pattaya —
A 60-year-old foreign tourist caused a scene in Pattaya after defecating on a taxi seat, eventually agreeing to pay 1,500 baht for cleaning.
At 5:30 PM on March 19th, the Pattaya Police Station received a report about a foreign man who soiled the seat of a taxi. The man and the taxi driver were arguing over the compensation in front of a well-known shopping mall in North Pattaya.
Upon arrival, officers found the taxi driver, Mr. Narapat, 32, arguing with a 60-year-old foreign tourist, whose name was withheld to protect his privacy. The driver then led the officers to his vehicle to show the extent of the mess.
The soiled seat was on the passenger side of his taxi. The area around the car was littered with used tissues stained with excrement.
It was reported that the tourist attempted to walk away while his companion stayed behind to negotiate on his behalf. According to Mr. Narapat, he had been waiting for passengers at the location when two foreign men approached and requested a ride to Soi Buakhao in South Pattaya.
However, shortly after getting in and as the car began moving, one of the passengers, who was sitting next to him, was unable to hold his bowels and defecated on the seat. The tourist then attempted to clean the mess with tissues he had brought along.
Mr. Narapat explained that the seat would need professional cleaning, which would cost 1,500 baht. The foreigner, however, refused and insisted on paying only 300 baht, leading to a loud argument.
Eventually, the foreign tourist agreed to pay the full 1,500 baht cleaning fee before both sides went their separate ways.
TPN Media notes the nationality of the tourist has been disputed, so have left his nationality out as it is unclear.
