Chanikarn said the motorcyclist claimed the tourist was abusive to him first. Chanikarn said the tourist, whose name was not disclosed, parked his rented motorcycle in violation of the parking ban. The tourist attempted to resist the seizure of the motorcycle by trying to lift it away when the taxi motorcyclist attacked him. The Facebook post generated a lot of criticism against the taxi motorcyclist. One Facebook user said the motorcycle taxi stand at that spot was notorious for demanding high fees from motorists after their vehicles were locked for violating parking bans.
