American detained for stealing transport van
An American tourist was arrested in Trat's Muang district on Monday night for allegedly stealing a Bangkok-Trat public transport van so he could catch a border bus to Cambodia.
...
The van driver said he refused to drive on to Hat Lek as it was beyond his concession route and offered to get the tourist a ride on a local transport truck. However, the American insisted on being in the van.
When Surasak stopped at a petrol station for a toilet run in downtown Trat, the tourist took over and sped away.
(As my 4th grade teacher always told us, "American" meant Amer-I-CAN".
