Drunk Men Cross Provinces, Rampage at Restaurant, Sleep on Road
Two heavily drunk men rode a motorcycle from Sa Kaeo to Buriram, harassed customers and the owner at a roadside restaurant in Prakhon Chai, then fell asleep in the middle of the highway. Police took them to the station to sober up; the restaurant owner said they caused chaos, threatened locals, and left without paying.
On November 15, 2026 (BE 2569), Ban Bua Police Station in Prakhon Chai District, Buriram Province, received a report from villagers in Ban Nong Bua Rai near the turnoff to Khao Phanom Rung in Chorakhe Mak Subdistrict. Two heavily drunk men were causing trouble inside a roadside restaurant, and after the incident, both lay down in the middle of the road, creating a hazard.
When officers arrived, they found two shirtless men aged approximately 45–55 lying by the roadside. The restaurant owner had placed two chairs around them to prevent vehicles from running them over. Upon waking them, the men exhibited signs of severe intoxication, slurring incoherently and claiming to know influential local figures. One man told police he had ridden a motorcycle from Ta Phraya District, Sa Kaeo Province, intending to return home in Prakhon Chai, admitting they had drunk continuously along the way and could not remember what happened at the restaurant.
Police took both men to Ban Bua Police Station to sober up.
Ms. Daeng (surname withheld), 56, the restaurant owner, said she had three tables of customers at the time. The two men arrived on a motorcycle, walked in heavily drunk, and ordered two bowls of noodles. She prepared the food, but they did not eat; instead, they glared and harassed the other diners, causing several customers to pay and leave. The men continued to shout insults at her. When three local youths came to buy items, the men provoked them until the youths nearly attacked; she intervened to stop it.
Shortly after, the pair stumbled out to their motorcycle but fell into the road. Villagers were called to drag them clear of traffic. Ms. Daeng said she had never encountered such behavior — they caused trouble, name-dropped local bigwigs, and left without paying for the two bowls of noodles. She was relieved police arrived in time, as they might have resumed their rampage.
