One of the local taxi services in Pattaya is a fleet of small blue trucks with an overhead canopy and two rows of bench seats. You just wave them down and jump on and then pay a 10THB fare when you reach your destination. Most people press one of the buzzers they have strewn across the inside of the canopy when they want to get off, but last night someone chose a different technique.
At around 1am JD and I hopped on the truck at Soi Bukhao and 30 seconds into the ride a very drunk european guy sitting on the end of the bench drinking his Chang beer stands up, faces the back of the truck and falls out face first into the street. His beer bottle smashes sending glass and beer everywhere and he's just laying there slowly squirming around. The truck slows for a second as the driver looks in his rearview before speeding off leaving the guy dazed in the street.
