5. Irish Man Arrested in Pattaya After Fight With Bolt Driver and Allegedly Attacking and Injuring Volunteer Cop
This drove significant interest on our social media accounts with many people asking how what seems like such a minor issue, a debate over a pin location on a map, could lead to this level of aggression or confrontation.
That’s all for this week, as always thanks for your support!
