The video, which circulated widely online, showed the tourists revving their engines and honking horns continuously while traversing main roads, drawing criticism for their disregard of others.
Online Reaction and Calls for Enforcement
Netizens expressed frustration on social media, demanding stricter enforcement of traffic laws and safety regulations for tourists in Phuket. Some comments noted that similar groups have driven against traffic flow to bypass police checkpoints in Patong.
