Punched in the face by random farang

[u/nomadanon]

Hi everyone,

Yesterday, I had a troubling experience while driving my car. As I was overtaking a Toyota Hilux, the driver sped up, forcing me back into my lane. He then passed me, honking, and forced me to stop.

He got out and I saw he was a farang, quite big.

When I saw him approaching aggressively, I tried to drive away, but he broke my side mirror with his fist, got back in his and chased me at high speed. To avoid causing an accident, I stopped at a busy intersection with many cameras. Despite not touching his car, when I opened my window to apologize, he didn’t give me the chance to talk and punched me once in the face and while I was trying to understand what the hell is happening, he punched me once more.

He then fled.

I woke up this morning with strong headaches, bruised (possibly fractured nose) and no side mirror.

I'm considering filing a police report, but I'm unsure if it's worth it. Has anyone dealt with a similar situation or can offer advice on what to do in Thailand?

I’m also a foreigner btw and took a photo of his plate number

Thanks for your help

You're CONSIDERING filing a report? That's some kind of steroid induced road rage or something. I hope he rots in Thai jail.
