Bizarre as it may sound but this incident just happened in Udon Thani.
A 23-year-old lady passenger offered to have sex with his motorcycle taxi driver instead of paying the 40-baht fare, prompting the driver to call for police help,
In a Bangkok Post article, the incident occurred around 7:30PM on June 26 at a rental room in Soi Kamnan in Udon Thani municipality.
The motorcycle taxi driver recalled that his female passenger refused to pay for the 40-baht fare, claiming she had no money, and tried to lure him into her room for sex as a payment instead.
Before the police arrived, a man inside the room came out and paid the fare via online banking. The police questioned the woman and the room occupant, who was a 29-year-old man. The man told officers that he did not know the woman personally but had seen her visit the accommodation frequently over the past month, looking for a motorcycle taxi rider in a nearby room.
The man said that the lady passenger would ask residents of the accommodation to call a rider for her. The man, who felt sorry about the woman, paid the fare on her behalf.
The man has a pregnant wife who is currently in Nong Khai province. He explained that the woman’s behaviour could cause him trouble and that he would only pay money, and nothing else.
The woman was escorted to her own accommodation, where they met her 72-year-old grandmother. The grandmother explained that the woman had a history of drug use that led to psychiatric problems. She has done this before with other motorcycle drivers where she left home at night with no money to pay.
The grandmother sought the assistance of the police to have her granddaughter treated but since her condition was “not severe”, officers advised the family to take her to the hospital during regular hours.
